Biosolids
 

I am writing you to support the Public Comments, dated December 5, 2006 prepared by the Citizen's Members to the Virginia Biosolids Use Regulations Advisory Committee and urge VDH to adopt the recommendations contained in these documents.

Whereas I support these recommendations, there is scientific support for more than the 1.5 miles minimum as stated in the recommendations. Also there should be more than one person with authority to oversee the health issues concerning biosolid land application sites. These persons should be doctors of medicine and they should be empowered to modify or lift sites due to health issues of citizens in the Commonwealth.
