Wastewater treatment operator Tim Lynch checks bags of sludge at the Coulee Dam plant before they are hauled off to the Grant County landfill in Ephrata. The sludge is sacked, and then placed out to dry five to six months before being hauled to the landfill. The new proposed wastewater treatment plant in Coulee Dam would upgrade the way sludge is handled. The town has a temporary permit to take the material to the landfill site. — Roger S. Lucas photo
