 The sampling point, depending upon the tide, was either 

 within the influence of the mill discharge or on another 

 tide, outgoing tide, for example, would be outside of the 

 point of influence of the mill discharge. The tide moves 

 quite rapidly through the channel. 



Then out towards the end of the channel we 

 have 3.6 and about 3. 



Over in Fidalgo Bay 6.1 percent and about 

 2.2 average sulfite waste liquor. 



Further down into the bay 2.3 and 1.2. 



Over into Padilla are relatively low values 



And finally down in Smelt Bay 9.0 and about 

 4 parts per million. 



Now, in contrast to what we see here, let's 

 take a look at the situation after the mills have been 

 closed for about 12 days in November '64 when a labor 

 strike closed all but the Weyerhaeuser Mill in Everett.

As you can see, there is a considerable 

 difference when the mills are operating and when they are 

 not. Unfortunately, the previous station there could not 

 be collected--was collected, excuse me, but the salinity 

 was so low that we could not use the data, and frequently 

 as we look at these data obtained during mill closures
