1. Welcome

If you are filling out this survey on behalf of a WWTP located in CT, ME, *NH, NY, RI, or VT, then you're in the right place! Please check here to see if anyone else at your facility has filled out the survey.
*If you're filling out for a WWTP located in NH, please click here. 
 
This is the second time this survey has been completed; the initial survey, based on 2004 data, was published in 2007. The results of this year's survey will benefit all stakeholders in the management of wastewater and biosolids in the U.S.

You will need your 2018 EPA Part 503 Sludge Report (filed in February 2019) and/or your 2018 report to your state. You can download the PDF version of this survey to use as a reference, but fill it out online here. You might need information from colleagues. We suggest you copy the applicable questions from the PDF into an email for them, and then enter the data they provide.

The data requested are about sewage sludge and biosolids from public and private wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) treating domestic sewage, who used or disposed of sewage sludge/biosolids in 2018. If your facility fits this description, please proceed. The quantity of biosolids used or disposed means the quantity that goes out the gate of your WWTP(s), even if it goes to another WWTP.

The Core Survey is ~25 questions. It should take ~30 minutes to complete if you have your 2018 data readily available. If firm data are not available, estimates are fine. Leave blank any questions that don't apply to your WWTP or that you are unable to answer. After the core survey, we'll ask you to complete additional questions about operations, economics, and energy.
