The Hutchinson news reported March 11 that Reno County is nearing conclusion of plans to build a gas pipeline from the local landfill to Morton Salt's Huchinson evap plant.
County Counselor Joe O'Sullivan said discussions with Morton Salt, South Hutchinson, for a future methane gas pipeline project are progressing, and a proposed agreement will be ready this spring. The county plans to sell methane gas generated at the county landfill to the company.
Lest we forget the largest wetlands restoration project in the U.S. is underway at Cargill Salt's former saltworks on the south end of San Francisco Bay. This blog post reminds us that the project is "Enormous by any standards, ... the largest of its kind in the country and it could be decades before the ebb and flow of the tide can work its magic and restore this massive chunk of San Francisco Bay without hurting the birds and beasts that have grown used to their current habitat."
