The sludge Is classified by one Federal government expert 



as not having the equivalent to primary treatment. 



A serious Industrial pollution problem 

 apparently exists in the Chambers Creek estuary where 

 steelhead migrations occur for the Game Department's 

 South Tacoma Fish Hatchery. What classification is listed 

 for that area and what is the status of the pollution 

 permit for South Tacoma Newsprint regarding effluents and 

 the large log storage area? 



Prevention and the eventual elimination of pol- 

 lution is the only standard now available to reverse our pres- 

 ent continuing "national disgrace". Objection is raised in 

 having various areas of our water resources used as dumping 

 grounds for pollutants. Dilution of pollutants is not a le- 

 gitimate multiple use of the public's water resources.
