The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), under contract to NIST, obtained partially dehydrated sewage cake material from the Metropolitan Denver Sewage Disposal District No. 1. The material (approximately 182 kg) was placed in plastic-lined drums and transported to the USGS facilities (Lakewood, CO) for processing. It was dried at ambient temperature in a forced air chamber, ground to pass a 74 µm (200 mesh) sieve, blended for 24 h to assure homogeneity of the pulverized material. Test samples were taken from the blender for preliminary homogeneity analyses. The material was then radiation sterilized. The sterilized material was shipped in bulk to NIST, where the material was bottled in 40 g units after reblending for 4 h.
