Tribute to Tim KillingbeckTim

Our good friend and ‘Prez Emeritus’ Tim Killingbeck passed away June 2, 2008. Tim was a dedicated member of the Northwest Biosolids Management Association and one of our strongest supporters, giving many hours to the association. Tim joined the NBMA Board of Directors in 2002 and became NBMA Vice-President in 2004. He served as our President, or as Tim liked to say, our “Prez,” in 2006-2007.

Biosolids for Biodiesel Project Wins 2007 EPA Award

The Biosolids for Biodiesel project, a cooperative research project conducted by the University of Washington, King County and Natural Selection Farms, was awarded the 1st Place Research Award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 2007 National Clean Water Act Recognition program. The project studied targeted use of biosolids to fertilize canola for biodiesel production. This process reduces greenhouse gas production by both substituting biosolids for synthetic fertilizers and by producing a green fuel. The program has gone full scale with biosolids biodiesel being used to power King County vehicles.
