[QUOTE="agmantoo, post: 908758, member: 8973"] I have a farm that is split by the county line. The west side approached me about their incorporating sludge on my farm. They came out to my home with all the sludge lab results and their acceptable compliance records with the EPA forms. According to the information I could apply the product for more than 900 years and still be in the acceptable level for all the EPA limitations for trace elements. A problem surfaced when the county to the east side of my place would not permit me to bring sludge from one municipality, the west side, to the east side without me having to pay a fee on a per acre basis. The municipality to the west was going to maintain my PH at the proper level on the entire farm for free. There were 3 methods of application, incorporation via tractor and disc, injected below the surface and broadcast and those methods would be used based on weather. All the equipment to be used was first class in the photos they displayed. With the county to the east issues I did not proceed. PS...I would be allowed to only grow pasture, hay, grains and no directly consumed vegetables/produce. [/QUOTE]
