CdA Sewage Becomes Rich Compost

The City of Coeur d’Alene is greening up its newly renovated McEuen Park using tons of a home-brewed compost. The stuff is made from sludge at the city’s wastewater treatment plant. They call it Coeur d’Green. The city carefully describes it as made from “de-watered biosolids.” In plain English, that means the raw material is sewage plant sludge. The city’s been making the unusual compost since 1990, using it on city projects and even selling it commercially. It’s been popular for years for greening up area golf courses, and landscapers use it widely as a moisture retainer and soil amendment/ KPBX 91.1 , Spokane public radio.
