Land Application of Sewage Sludge in Pennsylvania: Biosolids Quality
Treated sewage sludges called "biosolids" can be applied to farmland in Pennsylvania to benefit crop production. The amounts of pollutants present in biosolids provide an indication of overall quality and can be used to assess how biosolids will affect the soil. To facilitate this type of assessment, Penn State researchers conducted a comprehensive survey of biosolids that were land applied in Pennsylvania from 1978 to 1997. This eight-page fact sheet summarizes the results of that survey. Note: Available in PDF only; not available in hard copy from the Publications Distribution Center.

Land Application of Sewage Sludge in Pennsylvania: Use of Biosolids in Crop Production
Approximately 300,000 tons of municipal sewage sludge are produced each year in Pennsylvania. Recycling through application to farm, forest, or mine land is a viable disposal option, but before sewage sludges can be applied to farmland they must be treated further to stabilize organic material and reduce pathogens, resulting in a soil amendment known as biosolids. This eight-page fact sheet describes various types of biosolids and discusses management, regulatory, and other practical issues regarding their use on cropland.
