known as the benthic zone.
BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND (BOD) — The amount of oxygen used when organic matter undergoes decomposition by
microorganisms. Testing for BOD is done to assess the amount of organic matter in water.
BIOGAS — A gas that is produced by the action of anaerobic bacteria on organic waste matter in a digester tank that can be used
as a fuel.
BIOSOLIDS — Biosolids are nutrient rich organic and highly treated solid materials produced by the wastewater treatment process.
This high -quality product can be recycled as a soil amendment on farmland or further processed as an earth -like product for

is committed to developing and advancing environmentally sound and sustainable biosolids management practices that go beyond
regulatory compliance and promote public participation to enhance the credibility of local agency biosolids programs and improved
communications that lead to public acceptance.
