The records for the Samoa Pulp Mill were not available at the Eureka Public Library, and the phone number listed on the public notice did not answer. This is despite the fact that there was a 30 day comment period to get our reaction to the records and the action taken by the E.P.A. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????

AuthorWe live here in West Eureka have been victims of Evergreen Pulp's pollution. Now Freshwater Pulp wants to start it up again. We would like to know your thoughts and experiences with this. Now that Freshwater is not going to reopen, we are concerned about the massive quantity of contaminants that have been dumped on the site. These sites usually leak into adjacent areas and people live 750 yards from the point of maximum impact, the most polluted point, a Hot spot. We are also concerned that the Marina center site be properly cleaned up and will continue to discuss other local issues here. However, we will not let the mill issue rest until we actually see the smokestacks go down and the site is cleaned up. Archives
