âThey would get the most benefit out of it, and they could have it in, the smell would be gone, and it would satisfy everybody,â he said. âThatâs something I think that should be put in the regulations.â
Although the board didnât approve these changes, it did approve Armstrongâs request to make the distance requirements the same for residences and wells.
Missel said the board wanted to take everyoneâs input on the regulations, including those who use the biosolids, and believed the bigger issue was its storage and how it was mishandled.
âI hope that these regulations at least move us in a direction to address that, and I think itâs a start at a minimum, and I would remind you as well that this is an amendment that could be done again and anything could be changed going forward,â he said. âSo are we done? I donât know, but is it a good step forward? I believe it is.â

The Dodge County Board of Supervisors approved applications for federal flood mitigation grants during its meeting Wednesday morning.
The first, which involves the Rawhide Creek Watershed Plan and Environmental Assessment, would assist with flood prevention operations, Emergency Manager Tom Smith said.
âItâs been a work in progress by the Joint Water Management Advisory Board to get this identified and move through,â he said. âIt helps us identify future flood mitigation projects and how to better protect our communities along the Platte River.â
The application, which would provide the project with $750,000 of funding from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), was brought forward as an emergency item due to the timeliness of the issue, Chairman Bob Missel said.
