A permit from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is required to receive these soils unless they are sterilized.

Please contact Bruce Glagola well in advance of your experiment start date to arrange for use of regulated soil samples. Information about the requirements for bringing regulated soil samples to the APS are available on the Soil Introduction page and the ESAF “Materials Hazards” page.
