Biosolids headed to Campbell County

Campbell County could receive its first application of biosolids as early as 
next Friday.

The county received a notice from Nutri-Blend Inc., a biosolids applicator, 
on April 28 stating that it plans to spread the treated sludge on land as 
early as May 12.

“The application may commence after this date due to weather conditions or 
other factors, but the County will be notified if it has not begun within 5 
days of this date,” the notice stated.

According to the notice, the company anticipates the application will take 
one to two weeks, depending on the weather and the availability of the 
material.

Nutri-Blend received a permit through the Virginia Department of Health to 
spread biosolids on about 130 acres off Hickory Creek Road near Brookneal.

The company’s application request was met with opposition from citizens 
opposed to the sludge spreading without stricter regulations from the state.

This is the first permit for Campbell County land. Permits already are 
approved in Appomattox and Bedford counties for various application 
companies.
