Article Details:
Government practice is to rid lakes and rivers of raw sewage and industrial pollution by converting it all into a free, nutrient-rich fertilizer. A farmer's cows died by the hundreds after his land was poisoned by sludge from the waste treatment plant. A 30-year government policy encourages farmers to spread millions of tons of sewage sludge over thousands of acres each year as an alternative to commercial fertilizers. The program is still in effect.
