Can't believe what I'm reading on this forum, it is astonishing to say the least, today's news (well actually a few days old ) is also outstanding in the campaign of hate orchestrated from certain parties, many whom have been banished from here.
Firstly, what sort of government department threatens law action and go into detail of what the company does and how it has obtained a permit and promised its shareholders XYZ, it is bizarre to say the least. What is even more bizarre AEG have a storm water permit, what we are talking about is contaminated water from a sawmill, does that sound right? The previous tenant, a textile industry had a permit, pump and treat.
"Alamac American Knits, which sold the property to Active Energy, had entered into a brownfields agreement with the state; these agreements allow contaminated properties to be redeveloped for certain industrial or commercial uses. The agreement, which transferred to Active Energy, requires the groundwater to run through a pump-and-treat system to removes some of the contaminants."
A textile industry uses chemicals, I'm not aware of cutting wood has same treatment, however should that be the case..
"Alamac American Knits had a permit to then discharge that treated wastewater into the Jacob Branch and Lumber River. However, Active Energy does not have such a permit, said SELC Heather Hillaker.
“We’re not saying they can’t pump and treat, but they can’t discharge into the river,” Hillaker said."
So they can pump and treat, removing sawdust should be fairly straightforward !!
We wait and see what happens it does sound a tad over played and in real terms not exactly a mountain to climb in order to comply.
Additionally they state 'potential lawsuit for discharging polluted wastewater for nearly 500 days" does that sound right? Or have lumber activities only started this year? All sounds like someone, a tad bitter and twisted, has reported for whatever reason and maximised publicity for what is nothing more than confusion, not none compliance.
Last point, if you read this it is laughable, of course a sawmill business does not use chemicals , if chopping wood contains zinc, copper and phenol can someone please let me know!
"Monitoring reports cited in the legal filings show that Active Energy is not testing its wastewater for all the potential contaminants associated with those solvents. The wastewater does contain sulfide, zinc, copper and phenol, among other pollutants. (Phenol is used primarily in the manufacture of nylon and other synthetic fibers, indicating its presence is a remnant of a previous textile company.)Monitoring reports cited in the legal filings show that Active Energy is not testing its wastewater for all the potential contaminants associated with those solvents.
