[USCC] Compost made with biosolids vs biosolids

[A RUBIN]

Bob:

The answer is yes, the biosolids compost is still under the Part 503 
Standards.  Please call me at 703-385-8203 and I will elaborate.

Cheers

I have a question that I have not been able to find in the EPA 503 
regulations.
At least not stated real clearly!
Once biosolids are composted at a approved facility and have undergone 
treatment are the land application guidlines for biosolids still applied?
It is my feeling that once composted they are not biosolids anymore but a 
complete new product bearing no resemblance to the feedstock used to make 
the compost.
Look forward to any answer and if you can refer to the regulation it would 
be great.
