Summit County sewage sludge, commonly referred to as "biosolids," <br /> currently is transported to the county landfill for disposal and composting. <br /> Due to Summit County's population growth and pressures to reduce <br /> landfill use and disposal costs, Summit County Biosolids Producers have . <br /> been working to develop alternatives to current practices. <br /> A cooperative program has been developed to transport the municipally <br /> generated biosolids to the Climax Mine for use as a soil amendment in <br /> reclamation and revegetation of high-elevation disturbances. Working <br /> together over the last two years, Summit County Biosolids Producers and <br /> the. Climax Molybdenum Company have negotiated the agreement and <br /> obtained the necessary approvals from the State Department of Public <br /> Health and Environment to proceed with this unique and environmentally <br /> friendly program. <br /> A celebration of this event will be held Thursday, March 13 at 9 a.m., at the <br /> Old Summit County Courthouse in Breckendridge, to witness the signing of <br /> the agreement establishing the Biosolids Land Application Program. This <br /> ceremony will recognize the hard work and cooperative efforts of Summit <br /> County Biosolids Producers, local, state, and federal government officials, <br /> and the Climax Molybdenum Company. <br /> The Biosolids Land Application Program results in enhancing the <br /> reclamation work at the Climax Mine while helping to create additional <br /> beneficial use of biosolids. <br /> Summit County's residents and the environment are the ultimate winners! <br /> I2� S I11T I COPPER MOUNTAIN CONSOLIDATED METROPOLITAN DISTRICT <br />
