Soap Lake Liaison Committee eyes partnership with CBCD

SOAP LAKE — The Soap Lake Liaison Committee held a meeting Friday, inviting Ron Sawyer, the Conservation Director with the Columbia Basin Conservation District, to discuss potential collaborative efforts to address environmental concerns surrounding the city’s beloved lake.

Sawyer, who brought extensive knowledge and experience in conservation practices, was welcomed as the committee seeks solutions for the lake’s ecological challenges, including the lowering of both water and mineral levels.
