Biosolid land application experts
Lambourne Environmental’s unique and specialized land application method is what truly sets us apart from the competition. We combine our customized equipment with our decades of experience and our commitment to safety and the environment to provide the ultimate sludge removal service in Western Canada.
How does land application work?
Lambourne Environmental uses our lagoon pumps or dredges along with a fleet of modified tankers to pump, transport, and apply the sludge from our client’s lagoon to suitable land. There it is incorporated into the soil with a tractor and disc. Both the sludge and soil are tested to ensure that the biosolids are safe to be applied on the soil and will also enrich the soil. This process is beneficial for many parties, as the municipality is able to desludge their lagoon economically and the farmer and landowner are able to receive a beneficial organic product at no cost.
If you are a farmer or landowner in Alberta and have questions about municipal biosolids, please check out our FAQ page. If you are interested in possibly receiving some of this nutrient-rich material in the future, please contact us and we can discuss some options with you.
What is included in our biosolid land application service?
All aspects of the project, from the very first lagoon survey to the final reporting are taken care of by our experienced and professional team. We personalize our service to meet our clients' needs, but the steps that we often perform include:

- Sludge and soil testing for submission to environmental regulatory body (ie. Alberta Environment)
- Land application of biosolids on suitable land using our specially customized equipment
