On November 17 and 18, 2011 the wells on the Samoa Pulp Mill site were tested. Arsenic, Chromium and Manganese were above the reporting level. For example, the reporting level for manganese is 20 and the level in the well was 1200. These chemicals are all on the prop. 65 list of substances known to cause cancer. For a complete listing of statistics on tests on the wells, see Geotracker.

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
