Approximately 7,500 acres of land is <br />available as part of the cooperative farm program. To expand their biosolids application <br />program, MWMC purchased a 596-acre parcel of land adjacent to the BMF with the intent <br />that the site would be developed to land- apply dewatered and liquid biosolids and effluent <br />on poplar trees and grass hay. The site is referred to as the Biocycle Farm (BF). <br /> <br />The BF will initially be planted with grass and poplars and ,will be phased in over the next 6 <br />years, as indicated in Table 6.5.4-1. The poplars will be developed in six management traits <br />(MU) and harvested on 10-year cycles. The first phase, scheduled to become operational in <br />the summer of 2004, consists of the distribution system installation (pipeline, hose reels, and <br />pump stations), and site preparation and tree planting in MU1 and MU2. Additional hose <br />reels (two for each additional phase) will need to be purchased as phases 2 and 3 come <br />online; however, the pipeline and pump stations installed as part of Phase 1 will satisfy <br />buildout conditions for the entire BF. <br /> <br />6-42 MWMC_6.0_REV11.DOC <br /> <br /> <br />
