[QUOTE="Rmc, post: 1739352, member: 39072"] To me it depends on how /if it has been treated prior to application. If it land applied strait from the septic tank. Or some treatment plants separate the solids from the liquid prior to any treatment of the waste . This type of sludge would be high in all kinds of bacteria,virus and who knows what else. If the solids are treated and tested prior to application might be ok. If solids are treated then composted before application would be the best option. There have been some interesting studies lately . Some show that land applying sludge results in drug resistant strains of bacteria ect. Other studies show that even if the discharged water from sewer treatment can have a huge effect on the reproductive abilities of fish even if it meets all current epa treatment requirements. This is due to the drug residue in the treated water. [/QUOTE]
