Purpose of legislation
Authorizes localities to adopt ordinances that reasonably restrict the storage of sewage sludge to certain areas or parcels based on public health, welfare, or safety criteria. Any such ordinance will not apply to a farmer who stores sewage sludge for land application on his own farm within 45 days. Beginning July 1, 2007, no application for a permit or variance to authorize the storage of sewage sludge shall be complete unless it contains certification from the governing body of the locality in which the sewage sludge is to be stored that the storage site is consistent with all applicable ordinances. If the locality does not respond within 30 days, the site will be deemed consistent with the ordinances.
