The Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF) issued a press release on 6-3-03 announcing the creation of a program committee for its upcoming Biosolids Research Summit on July 28-30, 2003 in Alexandria, VA. The committee includes representatives of farming communities and private citizens, research scientists specializing in chemicals and pathogen exposure, and regulators from states and municipalities working on land application issues. The committee will invite 45-60 participants with a broad array of relevant technical expertise and practical experience regarding biosolids from state and federal agencies, academia, wastewater facilities, biosolids management companies, conservation groups, and interested citizens, including those who may be impacted by land application. The goal of the Summit is to develop a research agenda that addresses research gaps identified in the July 2002 National Research Council biosolids study, as well as other research needed to ensure protection of public health and the environment.
