About Nutrigro
In 1997 Gawne trucking began operations to provide the transport and application services necessary to manage the agricultural use of biosolids. Since that time the company has gradually expanded to provide these services to facilities throughout the lower peninsula of Michigan. In 2015 the company name was changed to Nutrigro Environmental Solutions Inc., a name which better expresses the overall operational mission of the company. At Nutrigro we strive to carefully manage biosolids as a resource that improves soil fertility and to provide nutrients that promote crop growth.
Municipalities
The facilities that treat the water used by homes and businesses are an important safeguard of environmental quality. These facilities process the water in a manner that allows it be returned to the environment. A part of the treatment process is the generation of solid material or biosolids which contains significant amounts of nutrients that can be re-cycled to promote crop growth.
Farmers
Biosolids provide a very cost effective way to improve overall soil fertility and may allow for the reduced use of conventional fertilizer. Farmers who have completed one or more crop cycles incorporating the use of biosolids as a component of their overall fertility program enjoy consistent or improved crop production while reducing their overall input costs. Please contact us at info@nutrigroesi.com if you would like additional information about to using biosolids as a part of your crop management strategy.
Safety
From Bessie to Clarabelle and all points in between Nutrigro strives to ensure that biosolids are applied in accordance with regulatory requirements, and with safety in mind at every step of the process from loading, to transport, and at the field.
Environment
The agricultural application of biosolids are carefully managed under the regulatory structure of both the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality. These regulations insure that biosolids are responsibly managed to enhance crop growth, and to protect the environment.
