VDH develops, implements, and enforces Virginia’s Biosolids Use Regulations. These regulations are more restrictive than the requirements set by the EPA in federal biosolids regulations, 40 C.F.R. Part 503, and are designed to protect public health. Biosolids land appliers must meet certain criteria, such as observing appropriate set-back distances from ground water sources, residences, etc. in order to maintain their permit.
