<div style="text-align: justify;" align="justify"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Two years ago, Calumet Water Reclamation Plant staff spread 10 yards of the MWRD’s Exceptional Quality (EQ) Compost processed nearby at the Calumet Solids Management Area. The blend of Class A biosolids and woodchips stimulated the soil and spurred growth for decorative trees that staff could view from their offices. This year the employees went a step further and planted nine pumpkin seeds and waited for rain. Shortly thereafter, five vines sprouted and the bulbs began to emerge and grow into full size pumpkins ready to be decorated for the Halloween season. </span></div>
