Book
·
OSTI ID:56987
This book has been an attempt to review all of the available literature, on an international scope, related to the use of municipal sludge to reclaim disturbed land and to evaluate the potential effects on the environment. The general conclusion was that stabilized municipal sludges, if applied properly according to present guidelines and regulations, can be used to revegetate disturbed lands in an environmentally safe manner with no major adverse effects on the vegetation, soil, or groundwater quality and does not pose any significant threat to animal or human health. This book should be of interest to researchers and practitioners working in the fields of mine land reclamation and land application of waste materials. It should be useful to consulting firms and businesses involved in land application of municipal sludge. It should also be useful to local, state, and federal officials involved in the development of guidelines and regulations for the beneficial uses of municipal sludge.
