SB 268 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Biosolids; prohibiting land application, spreading, sale, and distribution of certain materials; requiring reporting; requiring remediation. Emergency.

Oklahoma's SB 268 prohibits the land application, sale, or distribution of biosolids-derived materials (like treated sewage sludge from wastewater plants) used as fertilizers or soil amendments. It directly affects wastewater treatment facilities, agricultural producers, and businesses selling compost or soil products containing these materials. The bill allows exceptions for food-processing byproducts (e.g., blueberry or apple waste compost) if produced without prior biosolids soil contact, and for manure-based products. It also requires the Environmental Quality and Agriculture Departments to report on compliance and develop remediation plans for affected farms.
