My graduate project on the use of biosolids in Ellis County, Texas, has resulted in a website www.musinggreen.com, this blog and a Facebook page (Musing Green). Thursday also saw the Waxahachie Daily Light's publication of my lead piece as well as related articles on the Texas Master Naturalist and Texas Stream Team programs. Here's the link to the main article: http://tinyurl.com/m28v95j.
This Tuesday, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality will hear a petition request that would restrict the use of biosolids as a land application in Ellis County. The proposed rule change would disallow the spreading of the product within three miles of a city limit. It's agenda item No. 30 so will likely be heard in the afternoon in Austin. My understanding is that Ellis County residents unhappy with the practice will be on hand for the presentation.
Here's a link to the petition that seeks to address complaints of residents near Midlothian: http://tinyurl.com/n3qgh38.
