Edited sentence: (Contributed by Valerie Cunningham, former chair of the anti-sludge committee.After two years of local opposition, media and political pressure Metro finally agreed to do an Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed sludge site.Although many other mining camps in the area have disappeared, Cumberland can still be found in the Cascade foothills between Nolte State Park and Kanaskat-Palmer State Park.Cumberland has an all volunteer fire department and is a King County registered voting precinct.In 1989 the county-wide transit and sewage waste municipality known as "Metro" short for Metropolitan King County, planned a 25 year sewage sludge toxic waste spraying in the pristine woods northwest of the town over 400 acres.Numerous statewide environmental groups supported the towns people.The Muckleshoot Indian Tribe also came out against the toxic waste being sprayed within 1/8 of a mile from the Green River.The Washington State Senate Law & Justice committee met in the towns fire station, and the entire community turned out, over 600 people showed up to testify against Metro.The entire town came out against the spraying of toxic waste in their community (which numbers approximately 1,000 people).The group got their local and state government politians to help them stop this horrible travisty.With only a two week notice to the adjacent property owners, they rallied and formed the anti-sludge committee.Within a year the King County Council voted to stop the project due to the numerous life-threatening toxins found in the sewage sludge and stopped the project
