A group fighting biosolids in the Merritt area has successfully lobbied for help at the Union of BC Municipalities convention. Delegates passed a resolution yesterday that could change how communities dispose of their sewage lagoon waste. We'll see where the battle goes from here.
A group fighting biosolids in the Merritt area has successfully lobbied for help at the UBCM convention.
The annual Union of BC Municipalities convention wraps up today in Vancouver. One of the issues that some people there were raising a stink about was biosolids. That's the waste left over from sewage treatment plants.
On Monday, we talked with Georgia Clement. She's a member of Friends of Nicola Valley. They've been fighting the use of bio-solids as a fertilizer on land around Merritt.
She was at the convention to lobby for a resolution that could change the way communities deal with biosolids.
In a vote yesterday, that resolution was passed.
We've reached Georgia Clement again this morning to find out: What now?
