Final Field Trip

In Environmental Science this last week we went on our final field trip lab. It's not gross, it's really neat: We went to the Colville Waste-Water Treatment Plant. When something costs twenty million dollars you know that the product is going to be good. That means that the city of Colville has a very effective mean of getting rid of all that waste-water. The process is pretty fascinating, especially when it's a biological treatment plant. Let the microbes rule! If it hadn't been that I love the human body so much, microbiology would have been my favorite of all the biology classes I've taken yet. So, the lab at this place was really awesome. The whole thing is state-of-the-art and just mind-blowing in efficiency and technology. Talk about using our affluence in America for the good of our environment. Makes me so wish other places could enjoy what we are blessed to have here in the US.

No one needed it

Aeration basin holds 1.2 million gallons. Pretty amazing process. Enjoy hills of Colville in background.

I think I'll abide by the rules on this one! :-)
