They say sludge poses serious

citizens deserve more rights than
corporations.

But many area farmers say there's
no solid proof of the health risks, and
banning biosolids will only expose the

The board ended up approving the
least restrictive ordinance that only
allows for testing and monitoring of

sludge on area farmland.

Board members said the more
restrictive ordinance would "not" have
held up in court, but they'll continue
to work through state legislators on
controlling the use of biosolids.
