from University of Manitoba and comprising scientists from the University of Manitoba in collaboration with researchers from University of Western Ontario and University of British Columbia, to conduct a Research and Integration Project Including a Design for National Consultation to evaluate and test the feasibility of “Options for improved nutrient removal and recovery in the Canadian context”. [...] The project is the outcome of the Canadian Council of Ministers of Environment’s (CCME) “Canada-wide strategy for the management of municipal wastewater effluent” and its National Research Agenda for Wastewater and Biosolids (March 2012). [...] The CWMC identified the need for improved interpretation, evaluation and dissemination of cutting-edge scientific research and practice in the removal and recovery of nutrients from municipal wastewater in Canada. [...] The purpose of the interviews was as much to gauge the opinions of various stakeholders on drivers, barriers, research gaps and the future of nutrient removal, recovery and reuse in Canada as it was to collect general information on processes and performance. [...] The use of processed biosolids in land application is presented with emphasis on current practices and the value and availability of nutrients as the result of the mode of solids processing and the presence of phosphorus- binding metals.
