Meeting Tonight to Discuss GP’s Pacific Pollution
February 10, 2010
When: Wed, February 10, 6:30pm
Where: Hatfield Marine Science Center, Hennings Auditorium, Newport Oregon
DEQ, along with representatives from Georgia Pacific, Surfrider Foundation and Oregon State University, will host a public meeting to review the wastewater permit for Georgia Pacific’s pulp and paper mill located in Toledo. The permit sets pollution limits for the discharge of treated wastewater from the facility. A discharge pipe extends 4,000 feet off the shore of Nye Beach and into the Pacific Ocean.
This issue affects not only Oregon surfing, but tourists whose kids and dogs play at the beach, and people who eat local seafood. Come and show support for keeping our oceans blue, and stay informed! More information here: http://www.deq.state.or.us/news/prDisplay.asp?docID=3194
