Senate of Pennsylvania
Session of 2017 - 2018 Regular Session

MEMORANDUM

Posted: August 8, 2018 09:59 AM
From: Senator Mario M. Scavello
To: All Senate members
Subject: Biosolid Material
 
In the future, I intend to introduce legislation, similar to legislation currently in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, regarding the regulation of biosolid waste (otherwise known as sewer sludge).

Specifically, this legislation would enable a municipality to develop ordinances regulating the deposit, testing, and disposal or land application of biosolid materials. Additionally, this legislation would allow a municipality to veto a permit application approved by the Department of Environmental Protection for the deposit, or land application of this material.

Land application of sewer sludge has been of particular concern to the residents in my legislative district. Therfore, it is my intent through introduction of this legislation to provide for more direct local control over the deposition of this material.

Please join me in co-sponsoring this legislation.

If you have any questions regarding this legislation, please contact Christine Zubeck in my office at 717-787-6123 or czubeck@pasen.gov. Thank you for your consideration.



Introduced as SB1243
