Note
A need was expressed by the Soil Conservation Service for providing field people with information that would aid them in making recommendations for land application of agricultural and municipal wastes. Considering the great variability in waste characteristics and environmental conditions, it was apparent that a discussion of the various factors involved would be helpful in achieving a better understanding of the total problem. Toward this end, ten specific related subjects were identified. Knowledgeable specialists for each subject were requested to write a brief non-technical discussion, including a few good basic references. The reports, which are unedited, are presented here.
