The biological, microbiological and chemical concerns are legion in the unresolved biosolid issue, but, the one area that seems to be overlooked is the impact biosolids have on Virginia's Tourism Industry. Virginia boasts "Virginia is for Lovers", but, I question the lovers who are down wind from recently applied biosolids. The odors from these applications are beyond description.
Environmental awaremess has increased significantly over the past few decades, and, "dumps " of years gone by are now regulated and monitored landfills. Could it be with landfills reaching capacity, the solution is to "dump" above ground. Surely not!!
