Friends of the Columbia Gorge in collaboration with the U.S. Forest Service is moving forward on their plans to build a new trail that would connect the communities of Mosier and The Dalles. 

The sewage flowing into the City’s wastewater treatment plant has high levels of fats, oils and grease which is causing problems with treating the wastewater prior to discharge to the Columbia River. These problems may lead to violations of water quality standards and pollution of the river resulting in closures of local beaches. The City could be fined by the State for violations.
