EIGHT-The Heppner Gazette-Times. Heppner, Oregon. Thursday. September II. 1980 Court takes Portland trip, looks at treatment plant LIS SCHWAB The Morrow County Court recently made a trip to Portland, to inspect that city's waste treatment facilities, and speak with city officials concerning Portland's pro posal to barge sewage sludge up the Columbia to be dumped in northern Morrow County. The commissioners toured the city treatment plant and also went through two of the city's electroplating plants. In the proposed dumping, Portland would barge 80 million gallons of sewer waste sludge up the Columbia and dump it after processing on land near Boardman. Portland officials contend that the sludge would have fertilizer value for farm land. But commissioners are con cerned that heavy metals, mainly cadmium, contained in the sludge would contaminate soil and crops on which it was deposited. Portland officials have supposedly pinpointed the el ectroplating plants as the source of the heavy metals. Commissioner Dorothv Krebs said after the tour of the electroplating plants, that steps have been taken to cut down on the amount of cadmium going into the Port land city sewer system. "We saw new equipment going in to cut down on the heavy metals into the syst em." she said. She added that Portland had imposed a $10,000 fine on the plants until the problem was solved. The commissioners, how ever, were not satisfied to the point of giving the go-ahead to the sludge dumping project. "There are still a lot of questions to be answered." says Krebs. She said the problem of monitoring the sludge to keep quality high, has not been solved. "Mon itoring would be vital-mandatory," she emphasized. "Portland is eager for us to answer," she says. But, "we can't give it to them yet, we don't feel we have quite a good enough handle on it." "Morrow County will not become a dumping ground." she adds.
