Albemarle BOS,
I am writing in regards to the review of 2025 Legislative Priorities and Discussion of 2026 Priorities. I would like to encourage you to expand the language around Biosolids to restore the rights of localities to be able to protect the public safety and welfare of its citizens and environment, by restricting the land application of biosolids and supporting legislation that includes a statewide moratorium. In addition, I encourage you to include language in your Water Quality and Resources section to support any state funding, legislation, or initiatives around research for solutions to the PFA's that are present in biosolids. Be bold-your constituency needs your leadership.
Please see the attached file with comments regarding the review of 2025 Legislative Priorities and Discussion of 2026 Priorities, specifically the topic of land-applied sewage sludge (biosolids).
Please see attached letter regarding hazardous Biosolids.
