Mega manure digester project in Washington state meets community resistance Originally published by The New Lede A proposal to build a mega-manure digester in a small Washington state community is sparking uproar among citizens who say the project to convert waste from dairy cows into fuel will add to the region’s already significant pollution problems. At issue is a proposed manure digester project called Sunnyside RNG, LLC, that would be one of the largest in the US.

A proposed mega-manure digester in Sunnyside, WA — 83% Hispanic, 18% in poverty — is drawing fierce pushback over air pollution fears. Critics say the permit relies on outdated data. The community isn't backing down.
