   N-VIRO INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION ANNOUNCES DISMISSAL OF LAWSUIT AGAINST IT

Toledo  Ohio,  Tuesday,  October  16,  2007  -  N-Viro  International Corp. (OTC
BB/NVIC.OB)  ("N-Viro")  announced today that it had achieved the dismissal of a
lawsuit  in  favor  of  N-Viro  and  certain  past  and/or  current officers and
directors.  The  action  was  originally brought in July 2006 by the former CEO,
President  and  Chairman  of  the  Board of N-Viro, J. Patrick Nicholson. In its
order  granting  the dismissal, the Honorable James G. Carr, Chief Judge for the
Federal  District  Court  for the Northern District of Ohio, determined that the
claims of the plaintiffs were not timely brought and that the plaintiffs' failed
to  serve properly certain defendants. In addition, the court concluded that the
plaintiffs  failed to identify any specific statements by N-Viro that were false
and  misleading  and  failed  to  prove that the required inference of scienter.

With the dismissal, N-Viro has prevailed in all actions brought by Mr. Nicholson
against  N-Viro  and  its officers and directors.  Earlier this year, N-Viro was
successful  in  an  arbitration  action  brought  by Mr. Nicholson regarding its
termination  of  a  consulting  agreement in 2005.  In that case, the arbitrator
ruled  that  N-Viro  was  legally  justified in its termination for cause of Mr.
Nicholson's consulting agreement.  Now his federal action has similarly ended in
favor  of  the  Company.

Timothy  R.  Kasmoch,  CEO  and  President, had these comments:  "Mr. Nicholson,
through his onslaught of litigation, has wasted company resources.  But, we were
never  distracted  from  our vision for the future.  We will continue to develop
our  patented  N-Viro Fuels technology and believe that N-Viro shareholders will
be rewarded.  N-Viro is a great company.  With positive and honest leadership, I
believe  great  things  are  possible  for  N-Viro."
