BY SAMMY FRETWELL<\/a> AND SUSAN MERRIAM<\/a> UPDATED JULY 15, 2023 9:00 AM<\/p>\n\n

For years, farmers across South Carolina have used sludge from factories and sewage plants to fertilize the fields where crops grow and cattle graze. Applied to thousands of acres since the 1990s, the sludge is billed as a cheap way to enrich the soil. But increasingly, chemicals suspected of causing cancer, high cholesterol and other health problems are being found in the mucky waste. Scientists, environmentalists and some farmers worry that the pollutants in sludge, called PFAS<\/a> or forever chemicals, are contaminating drinking water, poisoning crops and sickening people. \u201cWe\u2019re talking about cancer-causing chemicals that can get into surface water and, therefore, into drinking water systems or in fish people eat,\u2019\u2019 said environmental lawyer Ben Cunningham, who has pushed the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control to tighten state oversight of sewer sludge. Statewide, DHEC<\/a> has approved at least 80,000 acres of agricultural land to be sprayed with sludge, a mushy byproduct from wastewater plants, textile factories and other industrial facilities, according to a first-of-its-kind analysis by The State Media Co. and McClatchy, the Columbia newspaper\u2019s parent company. That\u2019s more than 3,500 agricultural fields that have been approved for sludge disposal, the news organizations found.<\/p>\n\n

Comments by The Oaktree:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The Oaktree is currently setting up the first plant in South Carolina, where they not only clean the sludge from PFAS<\/a>, but also from several heavy metals and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This sludge is then transformed into biochar, which reduces the need for fertilizer, irrigation, limestone, herbicides, and pesticides. It’s important to note that a significant amount of sludge usually ends up in landfills, and relying solely on a 30-year warranty on liners<\/a> is not a viable solution. While the EPA<\/a> is gradually implementing regulations to tackle this issue, The Oaktree team firmly believes that consumers and the media need to take action, especially because vegetables can effectively absorb these dangerous molecules. We suspect that most people are unaware of this problem, so we’ve included a link to a documentary that vividly portrays its severity. Luckily, we’ve come up with a solution to address this matter.<\/em><\/p>\n\n
