Standards and guidelines for the land application of mechanical pulp mill sludge to agricultural land
These standards and guidelines are intended for operations involving the application of pulp mill sludge on agricultural land in Alberta, with the rationale that the applied material is a good soil amendment. The objectives of the standards and guidelines are to ensure that the land application is conducted in a manner that protects human health and the environment, and to guide sludge generators and users by outlining the basis for application reviews and approval requirements pursuant to the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act. The standards and guidelines cover such matters as definitions, sludge assessments, record keeping and reporting, soil suitability, and land application methods and procedures. The document also includes a summary of research studies and related reports on the benefits of sludge utilization on land.
