Rural Madison, Inc. is a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to careful and responsible growth that conserves our natural, cultural, and historical resources, protects the rural character of our county and improves the general welfare of all of the county's citizens.
We full recognize the dilemma that many in the agricultural community face in these times of globalization. While empathize with their quandary, we also recognize that land application of sludge is a short-term solution that will, in time, destroy the very thing that we are all trying to preserve, that is a safe and secure food source.
Having reviewed the recommendations set forth by Henry J. Staudinger and C.W. Williams and having agreed in totality with those recommendations we urge you to adopt them verbatim.
We urge even stronger that the term should be deleted and replaced with shall as pointed out in their recommendations.
We hope that in the interest of public health, safety and general welfare you will adopt these recommendations.
