Our Vision
The Virginia Biosolids Council supports the land application of biosolids in Virginia through information and education on the beneficial use and safety of biosolids.

• The preponderance of scientific evidence and over 30 years of practical experience demonstrate that biosolids are safe to humans and animals.
• The land application of biosolids benefits the environment by recycling a valuable nutrient rather than wasting it in landfills or incineration.
• The land application of biosolids benefits family farms by enriching Virginia soils and significantly increasing farm productivity.
• The agricultural use of biosolids helps preserve rural open space and helps protect the Chesapeake Bay.
• The cities and towns that generate biosolids and the companies that land apply biosolids are responsible members of the environmental protection community.
• Federal, state and local regulations effectively protect the health and safety of the public.

Our Members
Our membership includes municipal wastewater treatment facilities that produce biosolids, the companies that apply them to farms and forests and the landowners who benefit from this nutrient-rich soil amendment.
