Are there any health concerns with Biosolids application?
The rules for the use of Biosolids have been promulgated on very conservative risk assessments to ensure the ultimate safety of the product. The City of Topeka Biosolids exceed the protocol for land application as it is not only aerobically digested, but also, composted. The requirement in farm application is that public access be limited for 30 days after land application. The City of Topeka also produces another product which meets the standard of Class A Biosolids, which are approved for unrestricted use as this product is cured to a very high standard and tested extensively to ensure that the standard has been met.
