Connecticut Bans PFAS in Fertilizer

Posted on: July 25th, 2025 by eric

We are passing on this information from Bob Shertenlieb, Director of O&M at OCUA:

Earlier this month, the Connecticut Department of Agriculture released a notice to fertilizer and soil amendment registrants stating that “no person shall use, sell or offer for sale in this state any fertilizer intended for land application or soil amendment that contains any biosolids or wastewater sludge that contain PFAS.

Registrants whose product contains biosolids must provide a certificate of compliance stating the product does not contain PFAS. Products containing biosolids that have PFAS must be removed from Connecticut stores by August 31.”

Bob and many in AEA are watching carefully to see the implications of this announcement, if any, in New Jersey
