1. Sludge shall not be applied to sites used for
				  growing of commercial truck gardening vegetables grown and sold for direct
				  human consumption. It is also not recommended that sludge be applied to sites
				  for individual use that may grow leafy (lettuce, spinach, Swiss chard. etc.) or
				  root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, radishes, etc.) unless the following
				  conditions are met:
a. the sludge does not contain more than 10 mg
				  Cd/kg (dry weight basis);
b. the sludge has been aged for approximately 3
				  years after digestion or stabilization;
c. all vegetables are thoroughly washed or cooked
				  prior to consumption.
2. Sludge shall be uniformly spread on the land as
				  soon as possible after transport to the application site.
3. Sludge shall not be applied on land:
(1) during precipitation;
(2) which is saturated or with ponded
				  water.
4. Sludge should not be applied on land:
(1) when precipitation is imminent;
(2) which has received greater than 1/4 inch
				  rainfall within the 24 hour period preceding the intended application
				  time.
5. Sludge shall be incorporated as soon as
				  possible after application to prevent odor emission and runoff potential.
				  Sludge shall be incorporated within 48 hours or prior to any rainfall after
				  application whichever is most restrictive.
6. The application rate shall not exceed 10 dry
				  tons/acre or _____inches in depth.
7. Sludge shall not be applied on land which lies
				  within 150 feet from wells or other water supplies and 200 feet from surface
				  waters or intermittent streams.
8. Wind direction and velocity, humidity and the
				  day of the week shall also be considered prior to sludge transport and
				  applications with respect to neighboring activities.
9. Sludge amended land shall not lie fallow, but
				  shall be seeded and stabilized for plant growth as soon as possible after
				  sludge application and incorporation.
