text: Interesting article and subject. And, the pictures worth tons of experience in dealing with the large amounts of "stuffs" our country's processing plants deal with. The scope, content and magnitude of those wastes are not easily visualized by the public. Few know what they mean.
  The farmer in this article has done his homework, and seems to have something of great use in the public good. If his facility were to go out of business, the public would ultimately pay the cost of cleanup. An appeal for public funds could include those costs as avoidable through the farmer's project, but would need open minds to preclude it being viewed as a threat. Think Willows Run GC, and UofW Bothell.
  We all would have been better off if Scott Paper, so many years ago, would have had Mr. Visser's foresight and concerned actions about what was left for the City of Everett to deal with at the Port decades later.
  Am pleased with the Stillaguamish Tribe and others foresight in being involved. Thanks to them!
