Summary
In 2008, the board of supervisors in Packer Township, Pennsylvania adopted an ordinance banning the application of sewage sludge by corporations and regulating the land application of sludge by people in the township. The ordinance also recognized rights of nature. In 2012, the Attorney General decided that the ordinance interfered with normal agricultural operations and was unauthorized, and the Attorney General filed a petition for review. Supervisors voted to repeal the ordinance.
