Jeffrey J. LeBlanc, President of WeCare Organics, LLC, will lead a tour of the N-Viro Soil Manufacturing Facility in Syracuse on Friday, Aug. 3. A group will gather at the Finger Lakes Institute at noon, and is expected to return about 3:30 p.m. Round-trip transportation will be provided and space is limited. In January 1992, Onondaga County awarded a long-term contract to Waste Stream Environmental to design, install, secure permits for, and construct a full-scale permanent facility for the use of biosolids using the N-Viro Process. That facility now converts 200 wet tons per day of biosolids, generated at the Syracuse Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment Plant, into a commercial product that is rich in organic micro-nutrients, lime, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. LeBlanc holds a bachelor's degree in Agricultural Economics from Cornell University and is pursuing an M.B.A. at Nichols College. He is a member of the Water Environment Federation, several waste management and nursery associations, the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers Association, Farm Bureau and the New York State Dairy Association. WeCare Organics, LLC operates the N-Viro Soil facility in Syracuse and markets the finished product throughout New York state. Participants in this tour will have the opportunity acquire information regarding the N-Viro Soil manufacturing process, composition, uses, applications, and availability. Registration is requested by calling (315) 781-4382 or e-mailing fli@hws.edu.
