The Palouse Hills in the eastern part of Washington State are known as home of the golden wheatlands, a place with some of the richest topsoil in the world. It is also a region forever changed by the dispersal of nuclear waste—accidental and intentional—from the Hanford Atomic Plant only 100 miles south.
