Hi everyone
	just came back from Northern California and stop by and finally visited 
City of Arcata and their amazing waste water marsh built for storm runoff 
and wastewater treatment. Look at the website below to get a feeling of 
what has been created , a natural sysytem that deals with wastewater and 
create a amazing marsh system that create a living world for birds and all 
living beings. People say who have lived in Arcata that they take pride 
when they flush their toilets not many communities can say that.

The City of Arcata is located 250 miles north of San Francisco on the 
northeastern shore of Humboldt Bay. Arcata constructed
   the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary in 1981 and incorporated 
wastewater treatment in 1986. The Arcata Marsh is an
     example of a community's involvement in environmental politics, 
innovative uses of land, and applications of appropriate
     technology in a small urban community. The marsh has multiple uses 
including recreation, wildlife habitat, education, and
                                         wastewater treatment.
