Project Location:	Various Farm Sites, southern New Jersey
Project Type:	Land Application and Transportation of Food Processing Residual
Project Description:	B & B Poultry is a slaughter house processing chickens into a variety of products. A biological pretreatment system produces a food processing residual that must be lime stabilized prior to land application. Historically, this material was being transported to southeastern PA for land application. Since May, 1997 LRRM in conjunction with a local farmer, has been contracted to transport, lime stabilize and land apply this material.
Project Responsibilities:	LRRM is providing turn-key management of the residuals for B & B Poultry. This has included obtaining a permits for the farm sites, pumping, hauling and land applying the residual, contracting for necessary laboratory analyses and completing necessary State and Federal reports on the biosolids land application. Residuals are removed several times each week for land application, and will be managed year-round by either land application or through storage during winter months.

LRRM is responsible for all regulatory compliance, application monitoring, permitting, agronomic consulting for farmers and management for the beneficial reuse of the residuals from the treatment of wastewater from the facility.

Confidential Food Processor, SC

Client:	Confidential Client
Project Location:	Northern S.C.
Project Type:	Beneficial Reuse Feasibility Assessment, Engineering, Regulatory Compliance and Oversight of Agricultural Land Application
Project Description:	This food processing facility located in South Carolina generates significant amounts of residuals from the physical/chemical treatment of wastewater from the production operations. Daily flows of wastewater approach 1,000,000 gpd with very high loading of solids and greases. Previous attempts to land apply or recycle the material were unsuccessful, resulting in poor crop response, increased expense (capital and operating) and generally failed program.
Project Responsibilities:	LRRM was retained to investigate the alternatives for the handling of the residuals generated to allow the client to move away from directing this material to a landfill. LRRM investigated a number of alternatives including: Combination with chicken litter Composting Incineration/drying Direct land application Land application of liquids & solids The result is a current pending permit with the State for a trial composting program from which a combination of liquid land application and composting is anticipated.
