Abstract
This project provides scientifically defensible methods of collecting and handling biosolids samples, using EPA-approved microbial analysis techniques. It provides a foundation for sampling and testing practices that minimize health risks, and it interprets Part 503 biosolids sampling guidance to help utilities make informed choices when designing a sampling strategy. The report discusses effective communication strategies and includes examples of communication outreach materials. Published by WERF. 184 pages. Soft cover report and online PDF. (2009)
Originally funded as WERF project 04-HHE-7.
