Impact analysis
The ban could raise disposal costs for utilities and ratepayers as sludge is hauled or treated elsewhere, but it may also protect tourism and fishery values tied to clean water.
Residents, swimmers, anglers, and businesses that depend on clean water and the Indian River Lagoon come out ahead.
Sludge haulers, land-application operators, and wastewater utilities that relied on cheaper local disposal may face higher costs.
