Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Emery Mitchamore <emitch@att.net>]

2,000 acres is a lot of land!  Can it be used for anything else?  Like raising switchgrass or cattails for biofuel?  Solar or wind farm?  Does it produce compost for horticultural uses?  Can the effluent be used for irrigation, catfish farming or municipal water?  If all it does is process sewage, I can understand the skepticism.  Surely the proposal can be sweetened with more functionality.

Several years ago when Lubbock was going to construct a new sewage system, I tried to get the city to construct a bioligical system.  At that time it would have taken about 2,000 acres of land.  Many cities around the world use it.  Proven system. The consulant would not even consider it, of course. Water leaving the system is drinkable it is so pure. Cost of operating it is almost nothing.
