40 CFR Part 503 - Standards for the Use or Disposal of Sewage Sludge

40 CFR Part 503 sets pollutant limits for sewage sludge use or disposal.

40 CFR Part 503 sets pollutant limits for sewage sludge use or disposal. The loaded rows cover the product-concentration tables for land-applied sewage sludge: Table 1 ceiling concentrations and Table 3 pollutant concentrations, both on a dry-weight basis. Cumulative and annual pollutant loading rates, and surface-disposal tables, are gap-logged because they are area-loading or disposal-site limits rather than product concentration ceilings for land-applied biosolids.
