ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR BIOSOLIDS PRIMER--VERSION 2003 More and more public utilities are adopting environmental management systems (EMSs) to improve environmental performance, increase credibility with their stakeholders on environmental issues, improve competitiveness, and enhance regulatory compliance. This CD-ROM provides useful information for utilities and citizens who are interested in learning more about EMSs. It includes information about how an EMS benefits utilities and the environment, information on how to get started implementing an EMS, and useful tools, guidance, and templates.

This CD-ROM was developed by the National Biosolids Partnership (NBP), which is promoting EMS as a tool for utilities to improve management practices and enhance public acceptance of biosolids beneficial reuse. To access the NBP Website, click here.
