Lack of State Approval for City of Pullman’s Local Disposal of Sewer Plant Biosolids Could Lead to New fee on Residents

The problem involves the city’s permit from the Washington State Department of Ecology to use the material as fertilizer on nearby fields. The issue began last year when DOE failed to approve a new permit for a new site for disposal. That forced the city to haul the biosolids to facilities in Lewiston and Spokane. An emergency was declared last fall allowing the city to haul the material longer distances. DOE eventually approved the new permit in October ending that emergency.
