KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) _ The Environmental Protection Agency has awarded more than $520,000 to help fund a Wayne, Neb., wastewater treatment plant project. A news release from the EPA says the northeast Nebraska city's 25-year-old facility continues to draw complaints about odor. The new treatment plant will address those concerns. Construction on the $8 million project is slated to begin in July. The project is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2011. Garry Poutre , Wayne's utilities and public works superintendent, says the new plant will operate more efficiently and produce less sludge.
