 it is believed, will be capable of accomplishment by the 

 pulp and paper mills within existing resources and tech- 

 nology. With this program we can have fin and shellfish 

 and the pulp and paper industry side by side in the Puget 

 Sound area. The water quality conditions prescribed above 

 will permit both to grow and expand and provide a unique 

 recreational resource for the people of Washington. 



The specific treatment needed for the wastes 

 from these seven Puget Sound sulfite pulp mills is set 

 forth mill by mill in the recommendations you have heard. 

 The gross discharge of some 72 billion gallons a year of 

 largely untreated wastes equivalent to a raw discharge 

 from 12 million people must be subjected to treatment. 



New industries are being directed by most 



states to provide a degree of treatment that will protect 



all legitimate water uses. These new industries are 



complying with these directives and installing sophisticated 



waste treatment facilities. Examples of this enlightened 



industry response are found at the Kimberly-Clark mill in 



California, the Weyerhaeuser mill in Oregon, and the 



Kamloops mill in British Columbia.
