How can I find out if there are plans to use biosolids close to my house?
The local government and local monitor, when established, will be notified and aware of the schedule that the biosolids appliers intend to follow in that County. Current regulations are being revised to include requirements for posting of signs at locations near the sites that land appliers are planning to operate, several days or more prior to the start of such operations. The signs will contain contact phone numbers for additional information. Recent legislation passed by the 2005 General Assembly will require land appliers to provide 100 days notice to the local governing body of planned land application within the locality. Notification may be in the form of a list of available permitted sites within the locality and shall include the expected source of biosolids.
