The paper concludes that sludge can not be safely disposed of on farmland because: 1) only 28 out of 400 toxic
pollutants are proposed for regulation, 2) 15 out of 25 toxic inorganics on the superfund list are not included, 3) Thirty-
three pollutants considered hazardous for land disposal are not included.

In spite of its own research, EPA said it did not consider any of the cancer causing hazardous metals in sludge to be
cancer causing agents for the risk assessment.

Rather than giving the farmer an honest chance at survival, EPA put together a public relations campaign to change
public perception about the dangers of handling pathogen contaminate sludge/biosolids.

A recent study (63) indicated that rats consuming cabbage and beets grown on sludge^amended soil produced urine
which was mutagenic to TA98 in the presence of a metabolic activating system. Thus, it seems possible for the
mutagenic components of sludge to be transported through the crops grown on it.

Adopted Policy: In the absence of effective local and state regulations, which implement a viable bio-solids
management program in place, NACo urges Congress to support increased regulation of the land spreading of bio-
solid residuals or sludge and further urges Congress to appropriate sufficient funds so as to not create an unfunded
mandate on local governments.

Recently, the newest concern of recycling wastewater is the presence of chemicals such antibiotics, endocrine
disrupters compounds, and personal health care products. Endocrine disrupters, which interfere with the body's
natural ability to produce, release, transport, metabolize, bind and eliminate hormones in the body, have been
observed in wastewater discharges therefore in water bodies all over the world.

One of the selling points in the EPA/WEF's promotion to farmers is their claim that the farmer and his
family will not be harmed by the use of sewage sludge and there will be no liability under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) (Superfund Act), if the
Part 503 is followed and sludge use is considered to be a normal application of fertilizer.

Symptoms commonly reported include respiratory infections, skin rashes, burning eyes, burning lungs,
difficulty breathing, and gastrointestinal effects. These effects can be more severe in
immunocompromised individuals, individuals with chronic disease, and other sensitive populations.
Similar health effects have been observed in workers at composting and sewage treatment facilities. In
some studies, workers have been shown to have higher rates of airway mucous membrane complaints,
respiratory inflammation, skin rashes, and diseases involving immunological hypersensitivity reactions

Virtually, every environmental law, and 503 ,states that if you are exposed to the organic chemicals (some

the point.

either public health and safety or American Agriculture, give the CDC any power to actually protect public
health and agriculture?

A material is a hazardous waste under RCRA if it is a solid waste; as defined in 42 U.S.C.  6903(27) and is
hazardous as defined in 42 U.S.C. 6903(5). Both parties agree that the materials are hazardous; as that
word of art is used under RCRA, although (as we shall see) the EPA does not in fact regard them as
posing any material hazard if they comply with the conditions specified by the rule. The issue is whether
the materials in question are solid waste. The EPA has concluded that they are not-that so long as they
satisfy the stated conditions, they have not been discarded as RCRA's definition of solid waste uses the
term.

Although the use of sludge as a soil amendment is attractive, it is not without potential health risks. Toxic
chemicals, including heavy metals and industrial organics, may enter the food chain and present long-
term health risks.

. EPA and the states' intent has been to get rid of upward of 10 million tons of very hazardous sludge with
the least possible paperwork and cost. Death, disease and cancer visited on the general public are simply
collateral damage. Governments are amoral and the collateral damage is just one of the cost of doing
business the public has to pay.

The potential for pathogen regrowth is the downside to sewage sludge being rich innutrients that
promote the growth of bacteria and fungi.Exotoxins;& proteins and peptides secreted into the
surrounding environment by growing cells are produced by both gram-negative and gram-positive
bacteria. They are usually the most toxic of the two general types of bacterial toxins. Because they can
retain their toxicity at extremely high dilutions, some exotoxins, including staphylococcal enterotoxins
and shigatoxin, are used as biological warfare agents.

Traces of endotoxins in food and water can cause headaches, fever, fatigue, and severe gastrointestinal
symptoms; however, their primary target is the lungs. In addition to the former symptoms, inhaling
endotoxin-contaminated dusts can cause acute airflow obstruction, shock, and even death
