are used or recommended as the limiting parameter for determination of residuals loading
rate to ensure that it does not overload the soil and cause contravention of surface water or
groundwater standards, limit crop growth, or adversely impact soil quality.
b. Attach a marketability statement detailing destinations and approximate amounts of the final
product to be distributed.
• Provide either a label that shall be affixed to the bagged processed residual or an
information sheet that shall be provided to the person who receives the processed
residual. The label or information sheet shall contain, at a minimum, the following
information:
• Name and address of the person who prepared the residual that is sold or given away.
• A statement that application of the residuals to the land shall be in accordance with the
