[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1739227, member: 1715"] It was cheaper to spread it on ag land rather than landfill it. Some organic truck farms in particular used it repeatedly. Now they are loaded up the "forever chemicals" and some out of business. Others are not testing... The underlying issue is you are taking a huge volume of material, consolidating it, and then putting it on a farm where it leaches into the water. I would have your well tested if this has occurred in the past. Michigan is doing a lot of testing. Could be a reaction to the lead water pipe problem they had recently. Drinking water can be cleaned up but the process is expensive and requires a large new plant. My guess is the current landfill procedures do not protect groundwater enough... [/QUOTE]
