Rogers Pollution Control Facility Improvements

Rogers Water Utilities is pleased to announce the construction of Phase II of the Solids Handling Facility at the Rogers Pollution Control Facility.

This project will benefit the community by greatly improving the ability to process materials removed from the wastewater (i.e. “biosolids”) by thermally drying the materials to form a marketable, nutrient-rich fertilizer product.  Drying the biosolids product also facilitates economical hauling of material outside of the Osage Creek / Illinois River Watershed, which ultimately improves water quality in the receiving streams.  This process complies with the accepted Watershed Management Plan developed in accordance with the Clean Water Act. Construction of upgrades and improvements to the Rogers Pollution Control Facility are financed by the Clean Water State Revolving Fund.  The CWSRF program is administered by the Arkansas Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Division with joint funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and State of Arkansas.
