    Description and Writeup

    Complainant stated that there is green algae growing in Swafford Branch, the stream that borders his property. He stated that he has never observed this in the creek before. Complainant stated that biosolids were land applied on a neighboring property and that they (land applicators) did not adhere to buffers, so when it rains, biosolids run-off into the stream. He is concerned that the algae could be harmful and his livestock use the stream to get water.
