From sewer to science: Jacobs reunites with young innovator to explore biosolids management

What began as a bold idea by a high school science enthusiast quickly evolved into a transformative force for environmental change in The Villages, Florida. Junior Sarah Colley from The Villages Charter School collaborated with Jacobs — a global leader in sustainable solutions and The Villages’ contract operator — to tackle one of today’s most pressing environmental challenges for wastewater operators: per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in biosolids. It all began with a question Last fall, Jacobs hosted an innovation workshop with key stakeholders in The Villages to showcase results-driven technologies, evaluate forward-thinking solutions and prioritize actionable strategies to address evolving water and wastewater needs. Sarah attended the workshop and was inspired by a discussion on the production of biochar — a charcoal-like substance produced from biosolids using pyrolysis — and its potential use as a fertilizer for The Villages’ 56 turfgrass golf courses. “Converting biosolids into biochar creates a high-quality fertilizer product that reduces greenhouse gas emissions, removes PFAS contamination and enhances soil properties,” says Jacobs Project Manager Lenard Scroggins. With the support of Jacobs and The Villages’ golf course maintenance team, Sarah pursued a science fair project — Turf Response to Biochar Application — to explore the use of biochar as golf course fertilizer to reduce the need for and cost of commercial fertilizer products. Her science fair question: Can heat-processed biosolids be as effective as commercial fertilizers when applied to a common golf course turfgrass?
