Conrad Luker, equipment operator with CH2M Hill, a company contracted by the city to run the biosolids management site, spreads dewatered biosolids in a solar house Friday at Fayetteville’s site east of the Noland Wastewater Treatment Facility. The dewatered biosolid is bacteria feeding off of material brought in to wastewater treatment facilities. The excess bacteria is collected and processed to be turned into fertilizer sold locally at about $15 a ton.
