Summary
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 the on-site
presence of state or local officials when biosolids are being applied and
assesses a fee of $7.50 on each dry ton of sewage sludge applied in the
Commonwealth. The bill becomes effective on July 1, 2008, provided that adequate
funds have been appropriated and adequate positions have been authorized to
administer the program.

DEQ did just as shabby a job as VDH in the PCB scandal in 1999--they do just as poor a job of currently regulating about 10% of the sewage sludge in the state--this is playing political football with a health issue.
This will give no meaningful releif to citizens in Campbell County.
