Biosolids (Sewage Sludge) Information


As of January 1, 2008 the regulatory control of biosolids transferred from the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) to the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).

According to Neil Zaharadka, head of the biosolids section of the DEQ, this will involve the public having more of a say about when and where biosolids will be spread. There will be better notification to the adjoining landowners and public hearings / meetings will be scheduled to give everyone a chance to express concerns and opinions before permits are issued.

Along with the change of control there will be 20 new fulltime enforcement positions within DEQ for the oversight of spreading sewage sludge. Some of the existing permits along with all current requests to change or renew existing permits will be processed as new DEQ permits.

For more information on the enforcement of biosolids and the Department of Environmental Quality visit http://www.deq.state.va.us.

Biosolids Samping & Testing

Samples of biosolids material may be obtained by the County before, during, or after the process of applying the material on an approved site. Samples of soil, surface water and well water may be tested at the specific written request of a property owner immediately adjacent to a site permitted to receive biosolids. Any and all sampling requests will have to be approved by the County Administrator on a case-by-case basis.

Samples will be tested by an approved, independent laboratory. Tests will be conducted according to Virginia Department of Health standards. Campbell County may pay the costs associated with sampling and testing and will seek reimbursement from the Commonwealth of Virginia. Test results are public information in accordance with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act. They may be shared with other regulatory agencies and interested parties. Test results will be made available to any citizen or media representative requesting them subject to a nominal fee for copying and distribution.

All sampling requests must be sent to:
