Title

Food Waste Facility Phase 2 Project

Description

The Food Waste Facility Phase 2 Project will expand EBMUD's capacity to accept and treat food waste. The existing food waste facility under the Resource Recovery Program is currently approved to accept up to 100 tons per day of food waste. Expansion of the existing food waste facility will allow EBMUD to accept up to an additonal 150 tons per day of food waste. The project will use existing wastewater treatment plant capacity and reduce the amount of food waste disposed of at area landfills. The expansion will contribute to the ongoing Resource Recovery Program, which helps ensure that more wastes are disposed of in a safe, environmentally sound manner and increases renewable energy generation at the Main Wastewater Treatment Plant. Construction will occur within the boundaries of the MWWTP property.
