Portland now has decided to
build a sludge drying plant
near the city. Krebs explain
ed. And a private farmer in
Wasco County has agreed, for
a price, to allow the dried
substance to be dumped on his
land
"It will be interesting to
someday hear from Wasco
County, how the situation is
working." stated Krebs. "The
farmer may find that he will
be limited to what he can grow
on that land because of the
cadmium contamination. It
will be a shame.
