Vermont H0425 mandates a regional management plan for septage, sludge, and biosolids to ensure safe and cost-effective disposal.

Vermont H0425 requires the Secretary of Natural Resources to develop a regional long-term management plan for septage, sludge, and biosolids. The plan must propose methods to establish multimunicipality districts, identify regional acceptance sites, and address barriers to regional facilities. It also assesses options for managing outputs, including public-private partnerships and resource recovery. The plan must consider how regional sites could charge for services and manage contaminants like PFAS.
