The appeal by the League of Eurekans Against Pollution has been set aside, so there is nothing to prevent the mill from keeping the permit and continuing to exhaust out the pipe.
When the Water Board granted the Water Permit, much was made of the Cease and Desist Order and the requirements that the mill had to meet to keep the permit. They have met none of the requirements, but the permit still stands. Perhaps the Water Board thinks it is not important to cancel the permit since the mill is not making pulp. However, Freshwater Tissue Co. thinks this permit is important enough to keep paying fees to keep it in force.
What is to prevent toxins from washing into the ocean? We are not saying that Freshwater would purposely allow this, but that there are no provisions to make sure this does not happen.
