Some of what the other posters have said is true. Some of what they say is pure poop.
The application of municipal sludge is highly regulated. Samples must be taken and analyzed for heavy metals and other toxic substances. From that point the application timimg and incorporation is also regulated to protect the environment.
The recipient of the waste shouldn't have to do much paperwork at all. The responsibility for the paperwork lies with the municipality and the applicator. If you are interested you should contact the supplying municipality and ask for copies of their most recent tests. Those test along with an application plan must be submitted to the EPA to get an application permit to apply municipal sludge.
Farmers applying livestock manure are not allowed to exceed 300ppm phosphorus levels on their fields. In contrast, municipalities are allowed 600ppm on the field they are applied to. As a matter of record, it takes a phosphorus level of 15-20 ppm to adquately supply a 200 bushel per acre corn crop.
