Biosolids The nutrient rules as proposed include a change related to the land application of wastewater system biosolids —that nutrient management plans created for wastewater residual biosolids must adhere to Soil and Water rules in place or as may be amended at the time permits are approved, and that biosolids application must comply with the phosphorus requirements of the applicable USDA rules. Additionally, applications for renewal of existing permits for biosolids application must adhere to the new rule within one year of the adoption, and all new permits must comply with the rule as of the effective date of the rule.
