Steps

  1. Retrieve EPA's "Requirements For Application of Domestic Septage to Agricultural Land Utilizing Alkali Addition" fact sheet (2024)
  2. Confirm the core requirement: pH must be raised to ≥12 by alkali addition and remain ≥12 for at least 30 minutes without further alkali addition
  3. Review the three approved points of lime addition: at the pumper truck before pumping, during pumping, or into a storage tank after discharge
  4. Treat published dosing figures (e.g., roughly 50 lb hydrated lime per 1,000 gal septage cited in secondary industry sources) as illustrative only - verify actual dose by testing since septage strength varies
  5. Confirm this stabilization method still requires meeting Part 503 Subpart B's application-rate and recordkeeping requirements separately
