Event: Sustainable Seminar Series: What is Forty Billion Gallons of Sewage Plant Effluent Worth?

​Presented by Rick Manner - Urbana & Champaign Sanitary District

In 2013, Cronus Fertilizer approached the Urbana & Champaign Sanitary District about a potential 20 year contract for 4,400 gallons per minute of the District's effluent. This talk will review the issues associated with what is expected be the largest water reuse project in Illinois and the largest private sector investment in central Illinois in 30 years. In addition to the title's subject, there will be discussion about why wastewater reuse is so uncommon in Illinois, Mahomet Aquifer issues, surface water and aquatic life needs, as well as other environmental aspects that are involved in this sale.

This webinar will be broadcast live and also archived on ISTC's website, www.istc.illinois.edu, for later viewing.
