I used it for several years and there wasn't any paperwork. That, I assume because I got it from a middleman. It was advertised in the regional Country Folk farm-newspaper until recently. Here in New York, the fields get acid pretty quick if you don't add lime every 5-10 years. The nice advantage to this "treated sludge" was it had a heavy lime content. It was supposed to be 66% lime.
