Home » Can Biosolids impact Ground and Surface Water?
Regulatory standards and land application regulatory programs, such as the Nutrient Management Act are in place help to ensure that ground and surface waters are not compromised by Class B biosolids land application programs.
Regulated use and best management practices help to ensure that biosolids and biofertilizers are applied at rates that allows crops to absorb nutrients as they grow – reducing the potential for “run-off” of nutrients to ground or surface waters, which can cause eutrophication Wikipedia – a common side effect of chemical fertilizers.
