The company that helps produce the Capital Regional District’s (CRD) biosolids rejects claims its similar products made Texas farmers and their animals sick.
Synagro Technologies is the majority equity holder of the contractor that built the regional district’s residual treatment facility at Hartland landfill. It also has a 20-year contract to operate the facility that makes the dried treated-wastewater granules.
In a civil lawsuit brought forward in February, five Johnson County, Texas, plaintiffs claim their farms were polluted by toxic chemicals in a biosolids-based fertilizer produced by Synagro after a neighbouring property spread the product on its crops.
