2019 COMPLIANCE UPDATE
The City of Santa Rosa’s Laguna Treatment Plant protects the health of our community by recycling approximately 7 billion gallons of high-quality treated wastewater each year. Through the treatment process, the solids are separated out and are treated to create class A and class B biosolids which can be beneficially reused. This process creates biogas that is used to generate electricity which is used to offset the energy demand of the Laguna Treatment Plant. In order to minimize the impacts of our operations on the natural environment the Laguna Treatment Plant implements a broad range of compliance programs which supports the department operations and promotes environmental stewardship. Staff will provide an overview of applicable regulations, highlight permit requirements, and summarize compliance during 2019. The Board may discuss this item and give direction to staff.
