(Greensburg, IN) – Decatur County Commissioners held first reading on a revised biosolids ordinance this week.
County Attorney Chad Smith presented the revamped ordinance, and says commissioners decided to make changes following public comments and additional research.
The revised ordinance calls for required testing of substances for a maximum PFA level of 50 micrograms per kilogram for anything spread.
The owner or supplier would pay for the testing – no exceptions.
Second reading will take place at the commissioners final meeting of 2024, which is set for December 16.
In other action, commissioners approved the Fair Committee members roster, which includes:
President – Kevin Crites, four year term;
