Guidelines for beneficially reusing organic materials on land are being finalised. These guidelines will supersede the 2003 Guidelines for the Safe Application of Biosolids to Land and include additional organic material such as animal manures, and other agricultural waste materials, which also contain pathogens and contaminants. Water New Zealand, WasteMINZ, the Centre for Integrated Biowaste Research (CIBR), the New Zealand Land Treatment Collective (NZLTC), worked together with the ministries of Environment, Health and Primary Industries to develop the consultation draft. After two rounds of consultation, we are confident that the updated guidelines have a good technical basis. We are in the process of finalising the document, chaired by Watercare.

In this webinar, we will provide an update on the progress to date and the next steps towards release of the Guidelines.
