SEASIDE, Ore. (AP) — The city of Seaside is considering whether it should send its sewage sludge to Portland instead of spraying it on a local farmer’s property.
Protests by residents along the Lewis and Clark River prompted Seaside to delay its spraying plans.
Public Works Director Neal Wallace told the Daily Astorian he has contacted Bravo Environmental NW Inc. to determine if the Portland company could take 60,000 gallons of biosolids every week during the summer.
Wallace said the company would further refine the treated sludge and remove the water from it, then take it to Eastern Oregon, where it would be sprayed on nonfood crops.
