Why is the Port Townsend Paper Mill ALLOWED by the City of Port Townsend and Jefferson County Washington to put KNOWN Toxins into the Air, Water and Soil?

The Port Townsend Paper Mill is MAKING YOU SICK, Lowering Your Immune System and causing you Serious Health Risks.

Why is Deborah Stinson, Local Commissioner such a seemingly, advocate for the Port Townsend Paper Mill? Whats in it for Deborah Stinson ?

Got a Tip? eMail me at SavvyBroker@Yahoo.com 

Why does the Port Townsend Leader seem to LOVE Roger Hagan?

 Why does the Port Townsend Leader seem to flat out LIE about the TOXINS that the Port Townsend Paper Mill puts into YOUR AIR, Your Water, Your Soil?

 Who is the County Commissioner that is rumored to be getting a direct payment from the mill to an account that in no way can be connected to them, to keep the Port Townsend Paper mill in business? Which is the business of poisoning the air, soil and water of Port Townsend.

 Why does the Port Townsend Leader print false information and SUPPORT Port Townsend Paper over the Civil and Human Rights of the Port Townsend Residents?

 The NPDES is under the federal Clean Water Act. Washington has an agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to administer the program; Why is the Washington DEQ and EPA protecting the Port Townsend Mill to POISON YOU?

 What subsidies does the City of Port Townsend and Jefferson County Washington get from the National Paper Mill Groups to keep the paper mill here? And who gets that money?

It seems to me that the Port Townsend Paper Mill is violating the Clean Air Act as Well as the Clean Water Act, Time to STOP THEM.
Why DOES the MILL monitor Themselves? Seriously Folks WAKE UP

Why Does Jefferson County Public Health NOT protect the HEALTH of Jefferson County?


Research Links; the TOXIN Spewing into the Air and Water FROM the Port Townsend Paper Mill is Blatant, Obvious and a Serious Health Risk to ALL.
PT Paper emits 1.6 times as much CO2 as ALL other sources in Jefferson County Washington
http://ptairwatchers.org/2014/10/06/pt-paper-emits-1-6-times-as-much-co2-as-all-other-sources-in-jeffco-wa/
"Here’s the connection to Jefferson County’s largest polluter, the Port Townsend Paper mill.

CO2e emissions are one of the major drivers of ocean acidification, the changes in chemistry that threaten local natural shellfish stocks, marine life and habitat.

Port Townsend Paper is by far Jefferson County’s largest emitter of CO2e.

Port Townsend Paper= 611,864 tons per year of CO2e

All others sources in Jefferson County WA = 383,748 tons per year CO2e

That includes industrial, commercial, residential, transportation and solid waste.

Here’s your take-away: PTPC’s emissions amount to a whopping 61% of all CO2e emissions in the County!

Stated another way, PTPC emits 1.6 times all other sources in Jefferson County combined!"


"Consider the role of Jefferson County WA’s largest individual greenhouse gas emitter, the Port Townsend Paper Corporation: PTPC emits over 61% of all CO2e emissions in Jefferson County from all sources combined including industrial, commercial, transportation and residential!"

"Air pollution effects are many, and they may be truly damaging"
http://www.tropical-rainforest-animals.com/air-pollution-effects.html
Pulp pollution is a serious problem. Pulp and paper mills pollute our water, air, and soil. The pulp and paper industry is one of the largest and most polluting industries in the world; it is the third most polluting industry in North America.
There are about 500 kraft mills (including about 45 in Canada and 100 in the US), and many thousands of other types of pulp and paper mills, in the world.

and the Stench in 
the Air in Port Townsend


"Air emissions of hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, and other volatile sulfur compounds are the cause of the odor characteristic of pulp mills utilizing the kraft process. Other chemicals that are released into the air and water from most paper mills include the following:[23]
carbon monoxide
ammonia
nitrogen oxide
mercury
nitrates
methanol
benzene
volatile organic compounds, chloroform.
Benzene is a natural constituent of crude oil, and is one of the most elementary petrochemicals. Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon and the second [n]-annulene ([6]-annulene), a cyclic hydrocarbon with a continuous pi bond. It is sometimes abbreviated Ph–H. Benzene is a colorless and highly flammable liquid with a sweet smell. It is mainly used as a precursor to heavy chemicals, such as ethylbenzene and cumene, which are produced on a billion kilogram scale. Because it has a high octane number, it is an important component of gasoline, comprising a few percent of its mass. Most non-industrial applications have been limited by benzene’s carcinogenicity."

PT Paper’s Pollution Permits. See bottom of page about who regulates the mill.
WA Dept of Ecology Industrial Section’s page for Port Townsend Paper Current activity or other Ecy permits for PT Paper under review . See next link to go directly to PTPC’s water and air permits
Air and water discharge Permits – WA Dept of Ecology Industrial Section. At left-hand side click on “Permits” and scroll to Port Townsend Paper. air=Air Operating Permit. water=NPDES/National Pollution Discharge Elimination [sic] System. Issued for 5 years.
On-site Landfill permit – and related documents. Jeffco WA Health Dept. Toxic site was erroneously changed to “inert” status for a few years. Permit expired in 2009. Citizens brought it to review to revert to “limited purpose”, although it arguably could/should be reviewed for “hazardous” designation. June 2014-still under review.
–Data. Email us for summaries that we’ve compiled. –
toxictrends.org Toxic Trends Mapper – enter “Port Townsend Paper” in the search box. Nice interactive site.
For actual numbers re PTPC’s annual toxic pollutant releases to land-air-water, combine data from these three sources. Be aware of different units – pounds, tons, grams:
1. EPA TRI Explorer – Look up PTPC’s releases of toxic pollutants to air-water-soil. Under “geographic location”, select “zip code” in the drop-down list and enter zip code 98368; select the year of interest and click Generate Report.
ORCAA’s annual “emissions inventory” for Jefferson County used to be online. Now you must email and ask for them. Then extract the info for Port Townsend Paper.
3. eGGRT/EPA’s electronic greenhouse gas reporting tool . PTPC emits around 610,000 *tons* of CO2e annually = 1.6x the rest of Jefferson County, all sources combined. In the center box on the page, enter Washington and on the resulting map, zoom to Port Townsend Paper in Jefferson County.
EPA Envirofacts – Find PTPC’s ownership, facility ID,  registered agents, etc. etc. Some of the links work, some don’t.
–Air monitoring –
ORCAA.org  ORCAA operates a single basic station atop Blue Heron School, where it gets as much clean ocean air as mill air. It comprises a “nephelometer” measures and tracks PM 2.5, PM 10.0 and a weather station. The link to the station is easy to find. The historic data, not so much. If you find it before I do, send it and I’ll post it.
 ——-WHO REGULATES THE MILL———
In the 1970′s the Federal Clean Air Act was enacted; EPA delegated implementation to state ecology departments, who in turn delegated enforcement to smaller “regional air authorities.” However, three industries — kraft pulp mills, aluminum smelters, and concrete plants — worked backroom deals to be regulated by the state departments of ecology. Thus, air pollution permitting Nippon Paper in Port Angeles is under ORCAA, while Port Townsend Paper, a kraft pulp mill, is under WA’s Department of Ecology Industrial Section. The different agencies have different cultures and apply different standards.
On-site landfill is regulated by the Jefferson County Health Department
ASB – aerated stabilization basin, 35-acre wastewater treatment “pond”. Ecology does not require a permit for this foetid morass. We are looking into it. Until Jefferson County’s March 2014 SMP/Shoreline Master Plan update, the ASB was included in Port Townsend Bay’s shoreline, so activity within the ASB should have been overseen by the Army Corp of Engineers but we have found no record of such oversight being exercised.
Wood chip storage – we have not learned of any permitting required for what looks to be 35+ acres of mountains of chips, although every 5-10 years they seem to burst into fire.
Remediation funds – aka “Financial assurances”. Industrial sites are legally supposed to post escrow funds to cover eventual costs of cleaning up toxic legacies. WA Dept of Ecology has not required Port Townsend Paper to do so, leaving Jeffco and WA taxpayers liable for $millions in costs.
Other reporting –
Certification of fuels –
Reprocessed fuel oil (about 20% of PTPC’s fuel) – ?
Construction waste (about 30% of PTPC’s fuel?) – ?
Barge deliveries of chips, fuel oil — U.S. Coast Guard
Truck deliveries of chips, fuel oil — WA Dept of Ecology Industrial Section
Spills from barge deliveries — ?
On-site asbestos abatement — ? PTPC’s environmental compliance manager says that PTPC files annual reports about on-site asbestos. ORCAA & Ecology deny their having any oversight duties. Perhaps WISHA (WA equivalent of OSHA)?

What is the Smell in Port Townsend. So many Google what is the smell in Port Townsend. The Smell in Port Townsend is TOXIC, it will most likely make you SICK in visible and non-visible ways. The Smell in Port Townsend is BAD for ALL aspects of Healthy life in Port Townsend Washington

The Smell in Port Townsend is the Port Townsend Paper Mill's Toxic Emmissions.

This Blog Post is written in my opinion and to the best of my knowledge.

The Port Townsend Paper Mill takes 14 million gallons of pristine Olympic Mountain water a day from the Little Quilcene River and the Big Quilcene River, and they pollute it, fill it with toxins and create yucky toxic water that they dump into the Port Townsend Bay.


They have a SLUDGE pond that creates toxic soil and huge toxic odor. When they remove sludge in trucks it goes to unknown sources and is said to be able to be used as fill for playgrounds, parks, agriculture and other and that the Port Townsend Paper Mill does not have to disclose what is in the SLUDGE as that is the alleged legal responsibility of the end user.


The toxic air, of which is said to contain 1000 lbs of ammonia a day and other known carcigens, this causes massive health problems that many cannot recover from and so they leave Jefferson County, Port Townsend. Their Doctor even tells them, hey your kids can't get better here, or you can't get better here and so they have to move from this alleged pristine area.


Jefferson County seems to love the Port Townsend Paper Mill as many say it's the smell of money. Which is shocking, as it's money for big corporation, for doctors healing lung cancer and other major health problems the mill cause and as for the workers, they don't seem to mind that this affecting their health as yes they are making a living, the thing is, at what cost?

The toxins that the mill puts out, seems to be a known fact, it seems that Jefferson County, the City of Port Townsend and Washington Department of Ecology simply looks the other way and keeps this toxic waste site (in my opinion) spewing air that is harming the health and public safety of the area ( in my opinion due to the ability to read). They seem to do this willfully and wanton, to protect the mill and the jobs that come with it.
The Washington Governor seems big on taxing companies that spew CO2, this mill spews tons daily and for now they seem to hve no conscience nor accountability held on them and are even self monitored.

The WA Governor recently called for an emergency drought on the Olympic Peninsula, oh well, who cares right?

The city of Port Townsend uses 1 million gallons a day for the needs of the people. The Port Townsend Paper Mill pollutes and wastes 14 million gallons a day with total disregard for the environment, or the people ( in my opinion).

The EPA seems to know what is coming out of the Port Townsend Paper and so does the Washington Department of Ecology, and they look the other way.

We have otters, whales, herons, and tons of sea life and wildlife here as well as lot's of organic farms, and well lot's of people that want and have a legal right as a matter of law to Clean Air and Clean Water.  Yet this issue is swept under the proverbial rug over and over.

It makes no sense how Jefferson County Washington can have Organic Farms when the air is polluted as far as the information I have seen.

Go out at night, with a flashlight, tons of yellow fine particles, YEP you come to Port Townsend, our beautiful amazing town and you breath Toxic Air, so does your children, your babies, elderly and guess what; the worst of the "what's that smell" in Port Townsend goes right into our hospital and schools; oh well the county, state and federal officials look the other way to create toxic jobs.

The Air Makes Some Dizzy, Check Out this guy
What Does it Smell Like in Port Townsend and Port Hadlock / Irondale?: https://youtu.be/3k4mT1sI37I

I myself stayed at the Manresa Castle for a while and woke up some nights seizing in my chest. Felt like my organs were shutting down, throat badly swollen. Sinuses burning badly.  Stomach Cramping, Eyes Swollen. Horrible inner ear pain.

I have lived rural here as well and had burning eyes, ear pain and other symptoms. So why stay? The thing is Port Townsend is such a cool town, and it's so beautiful here. The people are so amazing and well I love it here. Plus for me it is a Spiritual Calling.  However, whether we choose to stay or leave the smell and toxic air of Port Townsend or not, the Port Townsend Paper Mill is seemingly breaking the law and causing a public safety issue and environmental hazard and it's time to STOP.

I know many who have had to leave to get their children to safe air. This is a serious issue and seems to be something that Jefferson County is either unable or unwilling to tackle.  Clearly the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act as well as our constitutional rights should trump the alleged "Smell of Money" YAP they use to keep poising the Port Townsend Bay, Port Townsend Air, Whales, Otters, Babies, those in the local hospital, fish and wildlife, organic farms and all of us citizens who SHOULD have the legal rights to Clean Air, Clean Water and Clean Soil.

the Port Townsend Paper Mill is Poisoning Port Townsend. The SMELL of MONEY they Call It. I Call it the SMELL of Toxic Greed that has no Conscience of what that MONEY SMELL is doing to the lungs, health, soil, water, air and quality of life of Port Townsend Residents, as well as all of Jefferson County Washington.

I have not written about the Port Townsend Paper Mill in awhile.  I became very discouraged at articles claiming Port Townsend Air Quality is GOOD, when it is NOT Good it is Down Right TOXIC. Discouraged at CLEARLY toxic air and a local government that CLEARLY chooses Greed and Profit over People.

The DEQ and Jefferson County Officials hide the FACTS from the public. People are sick, and they leave the area due to this sickness. Others can't leave because they are stuck in overpriced Port Townsend Real Estate, Home. These folks thought the mill would be gone by now.

Still we have positive news on the Port Townsend Paper Mill from the Port Townsend Leader. When the TRUTH is not all FLUFFY as the Port Townsend Leader makes it out to be.

We have officials such as Deborah Stimson who does not care about air quality or sound pollution as she has clearly proven. Meanwhile the actual data shows MASSIVE TOXINS, ammonia in the air and much more that is burning your lungs, harming your health and creating HUGE amounts of fine particle pollution that you and your children breath every day. Children and babies have all kinds of damage and health concerns from these fine particles of MASSIVE harmful, Toxic Pollution. Meanwhile Jefferson County is paid off by BIG MONEY from the hedge funds and corporate greed of those who own and profit from investing in the Port Townsend Paper Mill.

We have a commissioner somewhere paid off by the Paper Mill in some unknown account that will never be traced according to anonymous sources.

And we have a public who thinks the mill is the smell of money. And don't seem to care what you give up, pollute, ruin, or sacrifice for that MONEY SMELL.

Meanwhile YOU are sick and you don't why. You have low energy and you don't why. Your inner ears hurt, your throat hurts, your eyes feel funny, you feel hazy and you are not sure what it is. It is the Port Townsend Paper Mill poisoning you.

The Public at large let's Jefferson County and the City of Port Townsend flat out lie about the Mill as the Port Townsend Paper Mill pollutes MASSIVE water and you the public are to cut down on water use, as they use over 12 million gallons a day and POLLUTE the water and the Port Townsend Bay.

They Flat out LIE about what is really in the air you are breathing, and the Public, the local media outlets and the local governing body REFUSES to actually disclose the TRUTH that they know through air monitors. Instead they choose to CODDLE Greed.

I also became discouraged at Governor Inslee's carbon tax being shot down on places like the Port Townsend Paper Mill and the claims, FLAT OUT LIES, that the Port Townsend Paper Mill is not a HUGE Carbon Polluter when they clear are and Jefferson County Washington ignores it and protects 300 jobs which is actually 1% of Jefferson County. There are so many amazing people in Port Townsend that make money with clean jobs that do not harm the air, soil and water.

The Port Townsend Paper Mill is putting massive toxins into the air. I am not saying to believe me. I am saying do your homework. Get all the documents, including the LYING bankruptcy documents of the previous mill owner, the air monitor reports that are out there, take an independent air monitor test, and find out ALL the documented facts for yourself. Don't Believe the LIES of the Port Townsend Leader, the Jefferson County Commissioners, Paid off Jefferson County Health or ANYONE. Find the FACTS for yourself. This is your AIR, your water, your soil, your LIFE.

The City of Port Townsend and Jefferson County Washington PROTECTS the Port Townsend Paper Mill and Put's PROFIT before the health of the Citizens of Port Townsend Washington.

State Of Washington Department Of Ecology Looks the Other Way while the Port Townsend Paper Mill POISONS Port Townsend Citizens. If you can READ then you can SEE that the TOXINS coming out of the PORT TOWNSEND PAPER MILL, You should NOT be BREATHING.

State Of Washington / Department Of Ecology is on my Blogs today. 

Who is it at the State Of Washington / Department Of Ecology that is protecting AMCOL, the Port Townsend Paper Mill to KNOWINGLY Poison Port Townsend Citizens?

Got a Tip?  eMail me at ReverendCrystalCox@Gmail.com

The Hospital Commission KNOWS, the Doctors KNOW, Jefferson County Public Health KNOWS, the State Of Washington / Department Of Ecology KNOWS, the EPA KNOWS, the City of Port Townsend Knows, and the Port Townsend Leader seems to Flat out LIE to protect the Mill. Why?

There seems to be a reason of JOBS. That is Bull folks, they NEED to Super Fund and get all Mill Workers health care and money NOW. AMCOL, Port Townsend Paper Corporation KNOWS full well the toxins that are coming out of that mill and harming the public and their workers. This is NOT about a Pay Check, the workers SHOULD be bought out, paid retirement and health care.

Look up the WR Grace Libby Montana cases. The Port Townsend Paper needs to SHUT DOWN NOW, it needs to Superfund and clean up this MASSIVE Toxic Mess. These companies know they are poisoning their workers and community and it's up to you to stand up to them because your local government is paid OFF to look the other way, as far as I see it.

They all know that the SLUDGE from the Pond is FULL OF Known Carcinogens, yet they ship it out to unsuspecting parties. Who knows where it goes, it could even end up as fill in play grounds or on Organic Farms.

They know that many people have to leave Port Townsend because their children or themselves CANNOT get well, and the Doctors flat out tell them it is the Port Townsend Paper Mill.

In a town full of socially conscious residents, an area of such wonderful Organic Farms, the State Of Washington/department Of Ecology and Jefferson County Officials allow the  AMCOL, Port Townsend Paper Mill to spew KNOWN toxins into the air EVERY SINGLE DAY. These go into the soil of Organic Farms, the lungs of children, the water ways, the soil and infiltrate every aspect of Port Townsend Life.

If you take a flashlight at night you can see the massive particles in the air from the AMCOL, Port Townsend Paper Mill. This is Poison and YOU are breathing it, eating it, Living it. And here in Port Townsend Washington they say get over it, it's the Smell of MONEY. Ya for AMCOL, who flat out lied on bankruptcy documents about known toxins, money for doctors and specialists as they try and cure people who end up leaving and BIG money for those taking alleged payoffs and subsidies to POISON you, your Organic Farms, your Children and affect your DAILY quality of Life.

Many, including myself, have experience severe chest pain and compression, headaches, throat issues, eye issues, immune issues, organ shut down, and other health problems due to the Port Townsend Paper Mill, yes I could leave Port Townsend and I may. However, for now the Great Spirit has handing me a Sword on this issues and I stand for those who cannot leave the area and are FORCED to breath Toxic air with total disregard for their human and civil rights.

Port Townsend is such a beautiful place and there are so many smart people here, yet the Good Ol' Boys and Gals club runs the show as with most towns, and this club gets subsidies and even pay offs according to the rumor mill and so there it is you get to breathe massive toxins daily and the EPA, the State Of Washington / Department Of Ecology, Jefferson County Public Health, Jefferson County Commissioners, and the City of Port Townsend DOES NOTHING to fight back or stand up for your rights to Clean Air, Clean Water and Clean Soil.

They seem to ignore the issues as if it's invisible. They talk about car emission and other pollutants as if they are concerned yet look the other way, KNOWINGLY, on the biggest carcinogen in the county and that is without a doubt the Port Townsend Paper Mill.

The Port Townsend Leader even gave Roger Hagan some sort of column to, a PLATFORM to lull the community into falsehoods. The Port Townsend Leader should be charged with aiding and abetting a crime I say.  The City of Port Townsend is always stroking the Port Townsend Paper Mill, some give away, a boardwalk or some other gimmick to say HEY Port Townsend Citizens, it's ok that we are poisoning YOU. We will donate this boardwalk or this whatcha ma jig and it will all be ok. Ya, we know you are in pain and discomfort, getting sick, being forced out of town. We know that your kids are sick and you experience massive discomfort, illness and pain due to TOXINS and Carcinogens we knowingly put into the Air, Soil and Water but Hey we are paying your local boards and politicians off and buying things for the town so it's all GOOD. Sit back breath deep and relax.
Well that's how I see the story anyway, but that's just me.

I say SUE  AMCOL, Port Townsend Paper Mill. 

AMCOL is an out of State Company. File a Civil suit in Federal Court in Olympia. You do not need an attorney, Go Pro Se.  You don't have to go through the State nor the County because the Defendant is in another state. It is easy to file a lawsuit yourself. You can also file a DOJ complaint, civil rights complaints. Research the Clean Air and Clean Water acts.

SUE them ALL for knowingly harming you and your children.

THEY make Big Money, GET Huge Subsidies and ALL to POISON YOU, Knowingly
