Involvement in San Francisco Sludge Controversy
In May 2010, SCAP sent a letter of support to the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission in favor of its sewage sludge compost giveaway program.[3] In its letter, SCAP refers to composting of sewage sludge as "a highly regulated practice, producing a valuable soil amendment."
