I used it for several years and there wasn't any paperwork. That, I assume because I got it from a middleman. It was advertised in the regional Country Folk farm-newspaper until recently. Here in New York, the fields get acid pretty quick if you don't add lime every 5-10 years. The nice advantage to this "treated sludge" was it had a heavy lime content. It was supposed to be 66% lime. Part of the treatment process, I guess. The first year it was free, second year we had to pay $10 per ton, next year the price got higher and I stopped using it. And, as others mentioned - there's the worry about heavy metals content. I'm not a chemist, so who knows? I don't believe for a minute that any guidelines or regs prevent such pollutants from being in the stuff. But, when it was free - it was a good deal.
My first (ex) wife - over 30 years ago - worked as a secretary for a sod company in northern New Jersey. They got many "midnight" deliveries of untreated septic sludge and it made their sod grow like crazy. But, they got busted - and several participants got put in jail.
