Emery Lazard, a retired environmental scientist and Secretary of the Board of Directors of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection (RLEP), provided a review of the problems of sewage sludge, and of the weaknesses in the Federal Environmental Protection Agency’s Part 503 Rule that regulated the use or disposal of sludge.
He also reported on a new project of the National Research Council, entitled “Risks from Toxicants and Pathogens in Biosolid Fertilizers,” and voiced his concerns about the dangers of land application of sludge. His views were shared by Scott Handshy, who moved here recently from Culpeper because of sludge-related health problems he and his wife experienced, and by Bob Dennis, who had chaired a sewage authority in Fairfax and at that time found that one of the few ways to dispose of sewage sludge was by composting, and not land application.
The draft ordinance will be further reviewed by the Supervisors, and then it will be considered by the Planning Commission before being adopted. A public hearing on the draft ordinance will be scheduled.
