"2. An acid filter backwash salvage system 

 has been Installed. 



"3. A knot pit was built. Knotter rejects, 

 formerly sewered during times of failure of waste system, 

 are now diverted to a holding bin. 



"4. Bleach plant fiber from washer vat 

 drains and major floor drains are now routed to screen 

 room stock system. 



"5. Chip and hogfuel barge unloading 

 facilities have not been changed but the amount unloaded 

 has been drastically reduced. Hogfuel is now trucked 

 across town and dumped at powerhouse. Only about four 

 barges each of chips and fuel are unloaded per month now. 

 This has reduced spillage to the Bay. 



"6. Sulfur is now received molten by rail. 

 Thus no more elemental sulfur is lost at the dock front 

 while unloading ships. 



"7. The main sewer underwater outfall has 

 a hard sand spit built up in front of it. This buildup 

 alone shows the change in the composition of the settleable 

 solids carried. 



"Very truly yours, J. 0. Julson, Director, 

 Air and Water Resources."
