2 day by this mill. Discoloration, oxygen depletion, all 



3 of the other symptoais of pollution are evident in these 



4 pictures and are a tuatter of record, have been in the

6 for many years now. Sawdust particles traceable to this 



7 mill have been found at distances of ten miles away on 



g Samish Island, brought there by tide and wind conditions. 

 9 You note now that the discharge has changed 



10 in color from red to green. In the background can be 



11 seen a spraying system which is used to try to hide the 



12 foaming conditions that prevail in this area at times.

14 facts are that this is pollution raw and simple. 



15 Regulations in the standards that have 

 been on the books of the State of Washington since 1945 

 call for a cessation of this type of operation.

 digesters showing up in the background. The red liquor 

 is starting to come out from underneath the log boom that 



21 has been placed there to hold in some of the foaming con-
