The San Francisco Bay - Delta Wastewater and Residual Solids Management Study. Volume II. Technical Appendix Wastewater Management Studies.

In the United States, this problem chain was fostered by short-term economic policies and a surplus of clean water, clear air and unused lands available for outright dumping of treatment plant residues. Greater attention to environmental considerations during the past decade, accompanied by a decline in available natural resources, has brought about a renewed interest in the potential reuse of all by-products that were previously considered to be only suitable for disposal. The short-term economic policies previously applied to confined areas are being replaced with much broader, environmentally based considerations of feasibility for regional areas. This report presents the results of the investigations of extensive land sites 5,000 acres or greater identified as being suitable for receiving wastewater from the San Francisco Bay - Delta Region.
