On August 5, 2013, the EPA entered into a consent agreement with Liquid Waste Management, Inc. under section 309 of the Clean Water Act for sewage sludge land application violations in Colorado. Liquid Waste Management, located in Longmont, Colorado, is a company that specializes in biosolids waste management and is covered under the EPA Region 8 Biosolids general permit (COG650000). In 2012, Liquid Waste Management sampled the biosolids removed from the St. Vrain wastewater lagoons. The results of the analysis showed that the ceiling concentration for nickel specified in the Part 503 biosolids regulations was exceeded. Liquid Waste Management implemented a new system that will allow it to track when sewage sludge is over the limit for land application.
