Authority approves document scanning contract and Veolia data agreement; biosolids program reported to save $69,148.72 in landfill costs
Summary
The board approved Print‑O‑Stat for document scanning at an estimated $2,675 total, approved a user‑data agreement with Veolia Water for billing records, and heard that 777.7 tons of biosolids were land‑applied in 2025, saving $69,148.72 versus landfilling.
The Silver Spring Township Authority approved several administrative items on a single agenda: Print‑O‑Stat was approved to scan up to 1,500 plan pages at $1.75 per page (up to 36" x 48") plus handling for an estimated total of $2,675, and the Authority approved a user data agreement with Veolia Water that will provide water usage records needed to calculate sewer bills for Veolia‑served customers. The scanning approval was on a Mull–Lenker motion; the Veolia agreement was approved on a Lenker–Secary motion.
Manager James Stevens also reported on the Authority’s beneficial‑use biosolids program for 2025. Stevens said 777.7 tons of biosolids were applied to a PADEP‑permitted site in Middlesex Township across three application events in 2025 at a direct cost of $19,055.96. He said the Authority saved $69,148.72 in landfill costs in 2025 compared with disposing the material in a landfill and noted that landfilling had been the exclusive biosolids disposal method since 1998 prior to running the beneficial‑use program.
The board approved the administrative contracts as recorded in the minutes and did not alter the biosolids practice at this meeting.
