This is a press release from the City of Fortuna:

public engagementThe City of Fortuna will once again be hosting a promotional give-away for Exceptional Quality (EQ) Class A compost for beneficial reuse as a soil amendment to your property or place of residence beginning on Monday, August 17th and continuing while supplies last until Friday, August 21st.

Loading hours will be from 9am to 3:30pm each day at our facility located at 180 Dinsmore Drive.

Small pickup trucks should hold 1½ cubic yards. Everyone will be required to sign a “Hold Harmless” release of liability, when picking up the compost. Drivers must have proper tarps for covering compost while transporting from the facility. Tarps are NOT provided by the City. No pickups with canopies will be loaded by City staff.

If staff is loading another vehicle upon arrival, remain waiting inside your own vehicle until it is your turn. Practice 6 foot social distancing while interacting with staff. If possible, bring your own pen to sign the hold harmless agreement.

Please use the corporation yard entrance (2nd gate past the bridge) when picking up the compost. Vehicles entering the corporation yard can proceed directly to the loading area by following the signs. If you have any questions, you may call (707) 725-1426.

“Hold Harmless”

Wow, sounds like a good idea to ask your doctor when he recommends a vaccine , yet has no liability to it’s effectiveness nor the potential long term side effects.

People are not aware of the ramifications of Class A biosolids, yet they still keep pushing their shit on the general misinformed and gullible.

Class A Biosolids is a designation for dewatered and heated sewage sludge that meets U.S. EPA guidelines for land application with no restrictions. Thus, class A biosolids can be legally used as fertilizer on farms, vegetable gardens, and can be sold to home gardeners as compost or fertilizer.Dec 25, 2019

I wonder if what is grown using it qualifies as “organic”
