2007 SESSION
SB 1339 Land application of sewage sludge; regulation and management thereof.
Introduced by: Stephen D. Newman | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Land application of biosolids. Consolidates the program that regulates the application of biosolids (sewage sludge) under one agency, the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Currently, the responsibility for regulation of the land application of biosolids is split between DEQ and the Department of Health. The bill also requires DEQ to conduct unannounced site inspections while biosolids are being applied. A fee of $7.50 is assessed on each dry ton of sewage sludge applied in the Commonwealth. The bill becomes effective on January 1, 2008, provided that adequate funds have been appropriated and adequate positions have been authorized to administer the program. This bill is identical to HB 2802.
