EPA Regulations on Pathogenic Diseasse Causing Organisms

EPA REGULATIONS ON PATHOGENIC DISEASE CAUSING ORGANISMS

EPA removed a small list of pathogenic disease causing organisms from the final 1993 sludge rule. EPA
claims contaminated sludge - biosolids is not hazardous because a list of disease causing organisms was
never developed by the Office of Hazardous Waste. EPA uses the singular term "coliform" for 12
pathogenic disease causing organisms. Current documents suggest they do not cause disease. The
implication is that there is no harm to the environment or human health if these deadly disease causing
organisms are called pollutants (a CWA) term) and dumped on land. However, an EPA funded compost study
by the City of Los Angeles proves the potential to cause harm.

However, in its rush to dump disease organisms in reclaimed sewage effluent water and sewage sludge
biosolids as close to our children as possible, EPA "forgot" to mention certain bacteria and viruses as well
as the health damage they can do to our children and the elderly:

Bacteria (many of which are drug- resistant) EPA forgot to mention.

Viruses (for which there is no drug treatment) EPA forgot to mention.

Virus that now infects 25 million young children and women

Health damages from Pathogen list removed form the final part 503, EPA forgot to mention.
