Environmental protection; prohibit contamination of clean soil with "forever chemicals."
SB 2004 prohibits the use of sludge, septage, and related products (like compost) containing "forever chemicals" (PFAS) on agricultural land in Mississippi. It requires annual testing for PFAS in these materials before they can be applied or sold, and bans new licenses for septage application while allowing the Commission to revoke existing licenses if PFAS levels exceed standards. The bill also bans the sale or distribution of compost made from sludge/septage and crops grown on land where septage was applied. These provisions directly affect wastewater treatment facilities, agricultural businesses, and companies producing soil amendments or fertilizers.
