SUMMARY

This bill allows a municipality to enact stricter standards than the standards adopted by the Department of Environmental Protection for the storage and use of sludge, septage and composted sludge, provided the governing body of the municipality adopted the stricter standards after a public hearing was held. The authority to adopt stricter standards does not apply to compost, manure or residuals. The bill also requires a property owner to record information with the register of deeds if sludge, septage or composted sludge is spread on the owner's land.
