Environmental protection; prohibit contamination of clean soil with "forever chemicals."

SB 2022 prohibits the land application of sewage sludge, septage, and related products containing "forever chemicals" (PFAS) above safe levels. It requires wastewater facilities to test for these chemicals and bans new licenses for spreading septage, while allowing existing licenses to continue only if PFAS levels are below established limits. The Mississippi Air and Water Pollution Control Commission must develop a plan to phase out land application of septage, including identifying alternative disposal capacity. This bill directly affects wastewater treatment facilities, septage spreaders, and agricultural businesses using sludge-derived fertilizers or soil amendments.
