Introduced by: C. Todd Gilbert | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Land application of sewage sludge. Requires the State Water Control Board to adopt a regulation that establishes procedures for notifying health sensitive individuals who live within two miles of the site where sewage sludge is going to be land applied. The land application cannot occur until the Department of Environmental Quality has established those conditions that will ensure that these individuals are not exposed to the sewage sludge. Such conditions could include the requirement for a buffer area between the site where the application will take place and a health sensitive individual's residence. The bill also requires the Board to adopt regulations that protect sensitive environmental features from the impacts of land application of sewage sludge.
