What you need   for WP 93: Renewal of Type I Approval of Suitability (AOS)

This form is for the renewal of a Type I Approval of Suitability, necessary for land application of residuals for beneficial purposes. In accordance with the provisions in 310 CMR 32.13(11) these approvals are presumptively approved within 45 days.

These approvals comprehensively regulate the land application of sludge, sludge products (such as compost and pellets), and septage.  Land application of these materials must be conducted in a proper manner to prevent pollution of ground and surface waters, drinking water supplies, and protect public health from potential contamination and transport of heavy metals and pathogens.

You must apply for this renewal if you wish to utilize sludge, sludge derived products, or septage as a fertilizer or soil conditioner by providing nutrients for growing vegetation or improving the quality of the soil for the purpose of growing vegetation.
