Public officials, raft guides, concerned citizens and advocacy organizations, tell DWQ that the Blue Ridge Paper Company waste water disposal permit is too weak, and it CANNOT be allowed to stand and essentually end the cleanup to the Pigeon. Even Tennessee agencies indicated they would stand with us for a strong permit! Even if you can't come to the hearing January 26th, you can send in a comment through February 24th!
