This publication provides basic information about pathogens and describes why pathogen control is required to protect public health and the environment, and discusses the current federal requirements under Subpart D and Part 503. It reviews the different PFRP and PSRP processes and discusses vector attraction reduction issues. It goes on to summarize sampling and analysis protocols used to meet the quantitative requirements of Part 503 and outlines the process for applying for equivalency and discusses the kind of support EPA's Pathogen Equivalency Committee can provide to permitting authorities. This work lists general references and additional resources related to biosolids use; specific references related to particular topics are also included at the end of each chapter and lists EPA and state sewage sludge coordinators, and Appendix B contains Subpart D of the Part 503 regulation.
