Port Townsend Paper Mill, Crown Paper; You don't NEED a JOB, you NEED Money. They get FREE MONEY. You Get Poison
A while back I saw a Guy, can't remember his name, he was speaking at a Port Townsend Commissioner meeting, one of the things he talked about was the money he had got via grants for the Port Townsend Paper Mill.
FIND out how much MONEY they have got in Block Grants or any kind of grant or FREE MONEY program. Why not give that directly to the people instead of poisoning everyone and calling it a JOB.
Find Out who is really getting MONEY from all this. Demand that Jefferson County tell you EVERY detail about what they do to GIVE to the Billionaires that own the Port Townsend Paper Mill. Demand to know what the Port Townsend Paper Mill gave and GIVES to Jefferson County Health for their SILENCE and aiding and abetting the poisoning of you and your children.
Why does the Washington Department of Ecology and the EPA protect the Port Townsend Paper MILL? It is way more then the Jobs. The money spent on corruption, pay offs, grants could go directly to the people instead of creating a JOB that is poisoning 12 MILLION gallons of fresh pure mountain water EVERY DAY. Then taking that toxic acidic water and putting it into the Port Townsend Bay and polluting the entire body of water it filters out into.
THIS IS NOT OK. You don't need a JOB, you need MONEY. They get MONEY from your GOVERNMENT and then create toxic jobs to keep you busy and your head in the sand.

Port Townsend, Jefferson County Washington, Don't you CARE about your Drinking Water? Your Air Quality? Your Soil? Nestle was going to Bottle 1000 Gallons a Day, and they have been STOPPED. The Port Townsend Paper Mill USES, Pollutes, OVER 10 MILLION Gallons a Day of Fresh Pure Drinking Water, Spring Water, Creek Water. And you DO NOTHING to STOP Them. WHY?
Hood River County in Oregon Voted to BAN Nestle from bottling 1000 gallons of their fresh, clean, pure water a day. Yet the Port Townsend Paper Mill takes 11 MILLION gallons of fresh, clean, pure water a day and pollutes it then puts it in the Port Townsend Bay and the Locals DO NOTHING. They call it the Smell of Money.

Yet they are NOT an example of New Economy, Clean Economy. Instead Port Townsend is an Example of a City Council and County Commissioners protecting the minority in favor of the profits of Big Corporations.
Bottling the Water would be better than what Port Townsend Paper is doing. They are POISONING over 10 MILLION Gallons of Fresh, Clean, Spring Water a Day and they call it the Economy.
The City of Port Townsend and Jefferson County Washington PUT the interest and profit of BIG Corporations above the interest of Port Townsend, and of Washington State as well as other areas the water, air and soil affect.
Crown Paper is led by a group of high-level executives who formerly made up the corporate leadership of a global paper company called Smurfit-Stone and its successor company RockTenn.
Crown Paper Group and Crown Corrugated are NOT more important than Clean Fresh Water, Air and Soil. Yet Jefferson County Washington Makes them the MOST Important thing as the put PROFIT before People.
Port Townsend is said to be this cool, healthy, organic hippie place. However, the hippies and those who are into organics and clean air are NOT in CONTROL. Corporation MONEY and Greed is in control, and the people stand by and do NOTHING.
Jefferson County Washington could STOP this madness but they don't. Payoffs, Corruption, Big Money and more are important and your fresh water, clean air and clean soil is NOT.
Less then 300 People are Employed by Port Townsend Paper. The Population of Jefferson County is
30,000. Why is 1% of the populations jobs worth more then the other 99%'s jobs, health, life, quality of life, drinking water, clean air, clean soil and more important than the quality of water that goes into Port Townsend Bay and puget sound?
The MONEY is going to Hedge Funds, Greedy Corporations and NOT to the Benefit of the Majority of Jefferson County. It is about Choice, Priorities and Stand up for What is Right.
Hood River County way to go, they stopped 1000 Gallons a Day of being taken by Greed. Jefferson County Washington promotes, stands up for, backs, and aids and abets the use and pollution of 11 MILLION gallons a day of Drinking Water by the Port Townsend Paper Mill. And the People do nothing, as they seem to be helpless.

Jefferson County Washington puts PROFIT before People as they support an Industry that Pollutes the Air, Water and Soil of Port Townsend. Crown Paper is led by a group of high-level executives who formerly made up the corporate leadership of a global paper company called Smurfit-Stone and its successor company RockTenn.
"Crown Paper Group has promoted Colin Fernie to president of Port Townsend Paper and Crown Corrugated.
With the promotion, Fernie adds responsibility for the Port Townsend mill and retains responsibility for the Crown Packaging and Boxmaster plants in Vancouver, British Columbia, and distribution centers in Kelowna, British Columbia, and Calgary, Alberta.
Fernie is expected to be frequently in Port Townsend initially, then monthly, according to spokesman Alan Ulman. Fernie is not replacing anyone, and this is a promotion for him.
Carr Tyndall remains general manager of the Port Townsend mill, Ulman said.
“We hired Colin in May 2015 knowing his record of building high performing packaging businesses, and confident he would do the same with Crown Corrugated,” Crown Paper CEO Steve Klinger said in a May 17 press release.
“In the year since, we made significant strategic investments in Crown Corrugated. Colin leveraged the investments and led Crown Corrugated to improved performance, benefitting our customers and owners. At the same time, we have made significant, strategic investments in Port Townsend Paper, which is executing a plan to become a high performing mill. Colin’s charge is to lead Port Townsend Paper and Crown Corrugated to accelerate progress across the board.”
Asked what accelerated progress referred to, Ulman told the Port Townsend & Jefferson County Leader that the mill is switching to compressed natural gas, has added pollution control system and is making infrastructure improvements.
“Port Townsend Paper is the primary supplier to Crown Corrugated and Montebello Container, our corrugated sheet producer in Southern California, so high performance at any of the operations benefits all of the operations. We also made significant strategic investments in Montebello, and the Montebello team is building a strong packaging business by leveraging these investments and implementing our ‘Manufacturing Excellence’ strategy,” said Klinger.
Anthony Salcido continues as president of Montebello Container, reporting to the Crown Paper Group.
Crown Paper Group is a holding company for investments in the paper and packaging industries."

DO YOUR HOMEWORK. The jobs of the Port Townsend Paper Mill are NOT worth the Harm. The fine particles you are breathing are HARMING you. Look at documents, studies, reports and DO NOT believe those policing themselves or the county protecting them. The PT Paper Mill Jobs are around 1% of Jefferson County, there are about 330 jobs or so. There are way more people, thousands and thousands in Port Townsend doing things that are not POISONING the air, water and soil.
The Long term VALUE they speak of is for THEIR stocks and Profit and not for your health or quality of life. The Port Townsend Paper Mill is poisoning the Air, Water and Soil of Port Townsend. Don't believe me or anyone, do your homework, read the reports of what goes into the SLUDGE and where it goes, what is in the air REALLY, what is going into the Port Townsend Bay. Greed and Profit Before People is Not what Port Townsend is About.

the Air in Port Townsend Washington is TOXIC. Believe what helps you sleep at night, the TRUTH remains to be the TRUTH. Find your Facts for Yourself. Do not believe me or anyone. It is your Body, your Life. Still the TRUTH is the TRUTH.
ORCAA is NOT telling Port Townsend Residents the TRUTH.
ORCAA says,:"Paper mill odor
While it can be a source of unpleasant smells the Port Townsend Paper Co. is not the source of excess particulate matter, Hadley said.
“The odor from the mill comes from reduced sulphur compounds, which the nose detects but the instruments do not,” she said.
“We do not believe the mill provides any kind of health risk.”

This is NOT True Folks. The Port Townsend Paper Mill is producing fine particles and YOU are breathing them and it is TOXIC. Do not believe ME, do not believe ORCAA nor anyone else. DO your homework, it is your body, your children's lungs and health, your quality of life. YOU get to choose what you believe or IGNORE.
It is my OPINION because I can READ and think for myself that INDEED the Port Townsend Paper Mill PROVIDES a Health Risk. DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
The Port Townsend Paper Mill is owned by BILLIONAIRES. Your Lungs and Quality of life is of NO Concern to them. Believe what you must, however the facts are out there if you really want to find them. If you don't then you don't.
Jefferson County Health is NOT doing their Job to Protect Jefferson County. Neither is the Jefferson County Commissioners nor the Washington DOE.
"when compared to "other" places" WHERE? China? What places is this comparison. Good news the air is mostly, pretty much oK. Folks do you own homework. There is billion dollar companions involved and they do NOT have your lungs nor your children's lung's or health on their priority list. YOU are breathing ammonia. Is even a little bit of poison OK?
The ORCAA study plays down the Toxins. The school is the worst? Is this really ok with people. How do you feel? Are you tired, are your kids sick. They ARE breathing fine particle TOXIC air. They are breathing ammonia.
This list is from 2009 and its way worse now.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzn2NurXrSkiS1AwUXBRYWRHZm8/view?usp=sharing
This on top of polluting over 12 million gallons of water a day and in a time of massive drought. All this is ok with YOU, Really? Ok well you are in charge. If you don't want to breath Toxic Air, pollute 12 million gallons of PURE spring water a day, pollute the soil with massive acidic toxins, and pollute the Port Townsend Bay and the Puget Sound with massive toxic acid, well then you will, ONE DAY stand up to the DOE of Washington, the Port Townsend Paper Mill GREED, the Jefferson County Commissioners, the Town of Port Townsend, and Jefferson County Health.
Local nurses and doctors know of the cancer rates in Port Townsend, they know of countless children who had to leave due to the TOXIC air and others that stay and try to get well. WHY? Well because on the service Port Townsend is amazing. It seems as though a healthy place with lot's of wonderful Organic Farms however there is NO WAY to be ORGANIC when your crops are getting the toxins from the Port Townsend Paper Mill. The Port Townsend Paper Mill is NOT a FIT for the residents, farms, consciousness of the MAJORITY of Port Townsend Washington.
My first year in Port Townsend someone told me to go outside at night with a flashlight, I then lived off of discovery road. The particles in the air were SHOCKING. This toxin does affect you whether you believe it or not. THE TRUTH is the TRUTH no matter who chooses to believe it.
It really may not affect your health. Or you may have other health issues and so you believe it is not affecting your health. I believe it does.
I use to be so excited about all the Organics in Port Townsend, however, how can there truly be Organics with the Port Townsend Paper Mill spewing such a huge amount of ammonia, and other toxins.
Though Port Townsend is a Magical Place, the city is so "cool", there is so many amazing beautiful people and events, so many organics and well it is just a very special place, I have had to leave as have hundreds if not thousands over the years, as my chest would seize with a grip as if in a vice, my head above my eyes would feel intense painful pressure, my eyes would burn and eyesight foggy, my stomach as if turning inside out, my inner ear in intense pain, liver pain and literally waking up seizing, and choking with sever throat and lymph pain.
You can Believe whatever you like, however, the TRUTH is out there SHOULD you ever really want to know. ORCAA is NOT telling the TRUTH. Follow the Money Folks.

Port Townsend Paper Mill Criminal Trespass. I ALLEGE that it is criminal to pollute our air. I Allege that Jefferson County Health, the City of Port Townsend and the County of Jefferson is aiding and abetting CRIMINAL TRESPASS, as well as violations of the Clean Air Act and our Right to Breath Clean Air, as the BLATANTLY cover up what is really coming out of the Port Townsend Paper Mill.
"EO: What motivated you and your group to get organized?
Gretchen: We did our homework. We were looking for real scientific data that would tell us about the smell. We found that the smell from the mill comes equally from the mill stacks and the basin pollution. We found that there is legal precedence in that that kind of pollution that could affect people’s health and livelihood is called “chemical trespass”.
Chemical trespass is chemicals spread from somebody else’s activities which impact your life and property. Our groups have spent thousands of hours researching this pollution and also the mill and how it operates. We wanted to know the details. It was a great effort by many people. PT Airwatchers has more than 500 members, and there is a changing core of 100 people doing the research and organizing events such as educating the community.
EO: Tell me about the Port Townsend Mill, what do they manufacture and how do they generate income?
Gretchen: The main product of the Port Townsend mill is the manufacturing of unbleached Kraft pulp. The pulp is sold to make corrugated cardboard. The pulp is made from local trees that are known for their extra-fine fibers such as Western Red Cedar. The mill has been buying the slash of clear-cuts since 1929. The mill also runs a Biomass burner to generate electricity. Although originally set up with a promise of cheaper electricity to the local community, the electricity is actually sold to the bigger markets for higher revenue. They already generate 14.9 megawatts to sell. So what they do is buy power that they need from Bonneville Power at sub-market rates and then sell the power they generate back to the power grid at market rates or higher. They sell at a higher rate because they claim they are making green energy. It is another way they generate income.
They also receive a subsidy from the US government because they are designated as “green energy” producers. Two years ago California stopped buying this power from the grid because the state passed a law to buy local first. The state would buy energy from California producers first. This kind of put a crimp in the mill’s plan to sell “green energy”. Fracking of natural gas across the country has driven down energy prices and the need for electricity has decreased.
They make money by collecting government subsidies. They get a tax subsidy for using forest products."
