Land application can be an attractive alternative to the aeration.

Early techniques involved land application of sewage on agricultural land.

Bacterial concentrations were often well above soil background levels at 6 months, and in some cases 11-12 months, after land application.

"The land application program should be shut down immediately," it said, in part because the wastewater facility was "grossly neglected."

However, land application is equally effective and is easier to implement than a constructed wetland.

In New York State, the land application of sludge is regulated to protect public health and the environment.

"The committee recognizes that land application of biosolids is a widely used, practical option," the report said.

Direct land application is a viable and environmentally beneficial method of handling sludge, but there are numerous administrative problems involved.

Land application of sludge has the potential to return the organic matter and nutrients, most of which came from the soil, back to the soil.

Land application raises environmental concerns because sludge can contain such contaminants as heavy metals and toxic organics.

All that muck has to go someplace, and with ocean dumping largely curtailed public officials and private developers have been seeking land applications.

Land application of waste water relies on soil biology to aerobically treat BOD.

As for the researchers, they note that their work "suggests that the environmental consequences of land application of biosolids need further investigation."

Rudder undertook the task of reforming policies, expediting land applications, and closely supervising proper accounting procedures.

A complete miltary bounty land application file based on service 1775-1855 (includes only rejected Revolutionary War applications).

There were only 27 U.S. cities with wastewater treatment works by 1892, most of them "treating" wastewater through land application.

The soils and sediments of the Land Application Site act as filters as the treated wastewater percolates through the soil.

"We wish we could go to land application, but the state won't let us," said Carmine T. Perrapato, head of the commission.

The options for disposal of sludge include not only landfilling and incineration, which you mention, but also recycling of sludge through land application.
