Universal Citation: 310 MA Code of Regs 310.32

Current through Register 1537, December 20, 2024

(1) No person shall transport sludge or septage for land application purposes in a manner which creates, or threatens to create, a nuisance or a hazard to public health or the environment.

(2) Every person who transports sludge or septage for land application purposes shall transport sludge or septage only:

(a) in a tank, or

(b) in a watertight container, or

(c) by some other means acceptable to the Department.

(3) Every person who transports septage shall do so in compliance with 310 CMR: The State Environmental Code, Title 5: Standard Requirements for the Siting, Construction, Inspection, Upgrade and Expansion of On-site Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems and for the Transport and Disposal of Septage.

(4) Sludge containing molybdenum shall be accompanied by a written label or bill of lading that states the following: "This product contains molybdenum. While the regulatory standard is generally protective, under certain site conditions, if used on soils growing crops that will be used to feed ruminant animals (e.g., cattle, sheep and goats) there is a small risk that molybdenosis could occur. This risk is greater for alkaline stabilized biosolids. Animal managers are advised to refer to additional information on the site conditions of concern and management options at (http://www.mass.gov/eea/docs/dep/water/wastewater/a-thru-n/mobiosolids.pdf )." A statement indicating whether the biosolids have been alkaline stabilized shall also be included.
