I sincerely urge Virginia Department of Health to adopt the recommendations of our two Citizen members of BURAC regarding the Enforcement and Site Management of Biosolids (Sludge) regulation which is open for public comment.  I have read, agree and support their comments.

However, based on my research, it appears that a minimum buffer distance of 1.5 miles for the severe immune compromised may not be sufficient.  I urge VDH to consider a larger minimum distance when those people are present.  Now is the time to do this.
