An act relating to the regional management of the disposition of septage, sludge, and biosolids
This bill requires Vermont's Secretary of Natural Resources to create a regional plan by January 2025 for managing septage (waste from septic tanks), sludge (treated wastewater solids), and biosolids. The plan must establish regional districts for waste disposal, identify regional acceptance sites at wastewater facilities, address cost-sharing between towns, and handle contaminants like PFAS. It directly affects all Vermont municipalities and wastewater treatment facilities that manage these materials. The plan must include public input and will take effect July 2025.
