What happens after wastewater treatment is complete? For South Platte Renew, the answer lies in turning biosolids into a valuable resource—backed by decades of research and strong agricultural partnerships.
In this episode, host Blair Corning is joined by Dan DeLaughter of South Platte Renew and Steve Blecker, Research Soil Scientist at Colorado State University, to explore the long-standing collaboration between SPR and CSU. Together, they break down how biosolids are beneficially reused, what success looks like in a complex and highly regulated program, and how ongoing research helps address emerging risks.
From test plots and soil health to the realities of farming and land application, this conversation connects science to real-world impact. The group also looks ahead to the future of biosolids in Colorado and why this field offers exciting opportunities for the next generation of environmental professionals.
