Pullman to keep hauling biosolids to composter while legal action continues, mayor says
Summary
City staff told the Pullman City Council Feb. 11 that an ongoing legal action involving the state of Washington requires the city to continue hauling wastewater treatment biosolids to a composter facility; the case remains in process.
City officials told the Pullman City Council on Feb. 11, 2025, that the city must continue hauling biosolids from its wastewater treatment plant to a composter facility while a legal action involving the state of Washington remains in process, Mayor Francis Benjamin said.
Benjamin said the city received a presentation updating council members on biosolids management. He summarized that legal actions connected to an earlier requirement from the state remain pending, and as a result the city must continue hauling biosolids to the composter facility for now. The transcript did not provide the name or citation of the legal case, the composter facility's name, nor any cost figures or timeline for when the requirement might change.
The biosolids update was the first of two presentations at the meeting; the second was on city communication strategies. No formal council action on biosolids policy or funding was recorded in the meeting summary.
