2 Now, exaoolning carefully these data collected 



3 during mill closure, it is interesting to note that con- 



4 trary to the contention of many of the workers in this 



5 particular field that the sulfite waste liquor concentrations 

 g of 10 parts per million or less represent background values 



y or , in other words, are attributable to some substance 



g other than sulfite waste liquor. You can, of course, note 



9 that sulfite waste liquor values fell to zero or nearly so 



10 in all of the areas in which production was stopped during 



IX the strike. You will also note that larva abnormalities 



12 fell to zero or nearly so in all of the areas in which 



13 production ceased. 



14 Now let's take a look at some of the data 



15 obtained from the waste sample study, and here we are 



16 trying to determine the relative toxicity of the various 



17 streams within each of the mills.

19 In the manner described before, the amount 



20 of dilution required for each waste stream to dilute it 



21 to the point where it would not affect oyster larvae was 



22 calculated. These values are given in the right-hand 



23 column. 



24 And for the Georgia-Pacific Mill at Belling- 



ham you will note that the alcohol plant effluent would
