We will continue to follow the clean up and monitoring of the mill site.
We anxiously await more information from Freshwater Tissue Co. as to their plans for the site.
June 17, 2011 there was an inspection of the pulp mill site. As a result there are two letters on the Geotracker site discussing monitoring and reporting on toxins at the site dated July 11 and 12. SHN the company that does the testing is "creating a work plan for more investigation and remedial work at the site." They have been notified that they need to modify their scope of work and that a time extension has been given until July 29, 2011.

The silence is deadly. It is as if the mill never existed. Other mills (Port Angelas and Fort Bragg) have elaborate websites that explain the procedure for the clean up and the plans for the site. They have public participation. The Samoa Pulp Mill has seemingly disappeared into the Twilight Zone. No one talks about it. The media doesn't cover it. Why the secrecy? What are their secret plans? The regulatory agencies are busy elsewhere and don't have the time to even revoke the mill's water permit. Again, why are they paying to keep the permit? What is going out the outfill?

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
