Cumberland’s Plant
Supervisor, Rick with Nutrients PLUS President John Moriarty.
Virginia Beach. September 9, 2010. Nutrients PLUS,
LLC, headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia announces an agreement
with NEFCO (New England Fertilizer Company), a recognized leader nationally
in biosolids management, to purchase the Cumberland, Maryland Biosolid
Processing Facility’s Exceptional Quality (EQ) Biosolids product
to use in the company’s fertilizers with natural ingredients.
The agreement with NEFCO makes Nutrient PLUS the exclusive distributor
and further expands Nutrient PLUS’s ability to lead the industry
in developing new sources for formulating, producing, marketing and
sales of fertilizers with organic matter.
The biosolids product distributed from the Cumberland facility will
meet all Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) permit requirements,
and all Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA) registration requirements.
Some production of Nutrient PLUS’s fertilizers is anticipated
to begin in September. Nutrients PLUS expects to purchase the entire
output of pelletized biosolids
produced at the Cumberland, Maryland facility which NEFCO designed
and built and will operate for the City of Cumberland under a long–term
contract.
“As an innovator in biosolids management, NEFCO is pleased to
partner with Nutrients PLUS to harness renewable resources from the
City of Cumberland to produce a valuable fertilizer,” said Virginia
M. Grace Manager, Business Development, NEFCO. “ "We are
delighted to work with Nutrients Plus to provide the City with this
exciting biosolids management solution."
The “NP Pathway to Solutions”, a research-based system
developed by Nutrients PLUS, is
unique in that the company has a neutral perspective for its sourcing
of natural-organic
fertilizer materials, meaning it tests and evaluates organic ingredients
from a variety of sources to arrive at proprietary product formulations.
Cumberland’s EQ Biosolids is such a source meeting the system’s
criteria.
“In addition to meeting customer demand, this agreement meets
our goal of research-driven, sound, environmental management while
providing municipalities with a cost-effective means for managing
their waste,” said Nutrients PLUS president John Moriarty. “Our
efforts help Maryland, one of several states with nutrient management
challenges, as its shoreline surrounds the Chesapeake Bay, and we
do so by taking their product exclusively made for us and blending
it in Kentucky, Virginia and Pennsylvania with traditional fertilizer.
Nutrients PLUS formulas then go to market and are proven to require
less nutrients because they include natural sources such as Cumberland’s.
It’s an amazing concept to avoid landfills in the region and
use the nutrients for fertilizer, as they should be. There are only
about two dozen wastewater treatment facilities in the United States
that process waste-to-fertilizer in this fashion out of tens of thousands.
We thoroughly evaluate all materials utilized in the production of
our products, and we are particularly pleased that Cumberland’s
product meets the high standards set for Exceptional Quality Biosolids
under EPA Section 503.”
This agreement strengthens a long-standing relationship between the
two companies, which
began with Nutrients PLUS management team as early as 2003 for NEFCO’s
facility in Quincy,
Massachusetts. This facility services the city of Boston and forty-three
surrounding communities, providing a beneficial use technique for
ceasing the fifty-year practice of discharging biosolids into Boston
Harbor. Additionally, the Biosolids Processing Facility in Palm Beach
County, Florida which NEFCO made operational in 2009 has also become
a part of Nutrient PLUS’s rapidly growing network of valuable
natural fertilizers sourced nationally.
