Sludge dumping in Morrow County?
Portland's plan causes concern
The Morrow County Court
will submit a lengthy sheet of
questions to the city of
Portland regarding its prop
osal to ship sludge from
sewage treatment facilities by
barge to the county.
Aiding the court in prepara
tion of the questions has been
Jeri Cohen, local coordinator
for the East Central Oregon
Association of Counties.
A great deal of court
concern about the sludge
disposal focuses upon the
possibility that Morrow
County might become a dump
ing ground for Portland's
wastes; the first question
asks, "Site Improvement or
Sludge Disposal?"
"Although assurances have
been made that the city of
Portland is proposing a soil
improvement program, a
number of factors lead to the
conclusion that a disposal site
is being sought for the city's
sewage solids. While Alterna
tive A is for stabilization,
barge transportation and ap
plication to land for soil
improvement, the terms "dis
posal" and. "disposal site" are
used 23 times and the Morrow
County site is only referred to
as a disposal site."
The report issued by the city
of Portland also does not
indicate that Morrow County
will be used for agricultural
purposes. Irrigation water is
not presently available at the
site and dry land wheat
'farming would only consume
one-eighth to one-fourth of the
nitrogen accumulated at the
five-to-ten-tons-per-acre, per-
year application rate.
"In light of the foregoing
discussion, please explain in
details of city of Portland's
intentions with respect to
the Morrow County site."
Other questions include,
why the city of Portland is
barging the solid wastes to
Morrow County when a sim
ilar project exists in Washing
ton County in closer proximity
to the city. "How will the
sludge be treated prior to
barging, does the city of
Portland require pre-treat-ment
within the industries
which utilize city sewage
facilities, how will the city of
Portland ensure that the
sludge applied to land in
Morrow County complies with
DEQ, will the city analyze the
sludge to determine its con
tent of substances such as
nitrogen, heavy metals and
other toxic elements prior to
barging in order to guarantee
that excessive amounts of
these elements are not applied
to the land, how many barge
loads will be transported and
further questions designed to
determine the full extent of
the sludge issue.
In a group of business
related questions, the Court
states, "Morrow County is
actively seeking the location
of new industries within the
county," and asks "what
effect on the image of Morrow
County as a desirable place
for businesses to locate can be
anticipated as a result of the
city of Portland sludge pro
ject?" Port of Morrow officials
have gone on record as
supporting Port property as
the site for the docking
facilities for the sludge should
the County Court approve the
proposal.
