Members of the West Camas Transportation Council gathered Monday September 29th to begin site preparations for a new storage tank facility.  The Council consists of the Cities of Cottonwood and Ferdinand, and the Highway Districts of Ferdinand, Cottonwood, Greencreek, Keuterville, and Fenn.  
The group stripped the topsoil from the work site west of the Cottonwood (bottom photo).  Equipment used in the sitework consisted of 5 dump trucks, 4 road graders, front end loader steel drum roller and backhoe.  A large portion of the topsoil was then donated and  hauled to the baseball field in the School District sports complex (middle photo).
