Liberty Energy throws in the towel
Luis Plancarte, of Liberty Energy, on Tuesday announced to the Imperial County Board of Supervisors that Liberty will not pursue its sludge plant in Niland.
Bakersfield-based Liberty had proposed a waste-to-energy facility that would take biosolids and biowastes from throughout Southern California and truck it in to the northend Imperial County site.
On the February ballot voters passed an ordinance that would make it illegal to import sludge into Imperial County.
"Liberty has made a business decision to withdraw its application for a sludge plant in Niland," Plancarte told supervisors.
