Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} The Luke paper mill will be closed by June 30

The mill had a long history of air and discharge violations. I wouldn't say they've done a good job of keeping the river clean. I also wouldn't go as far as saying the mill feeds healthy nutrients into the river either unless you consider healthy nutrients as high nitrogen and phosphorus levels, coliform bacteria, spilled latex, and wastewater that meets legal limits in extremely diluted form but at undiluted levels would kill everything in the river.

I feel for the 700 jobs going away in an already depressed area of Garrett County, MD. If I was a member of the union up there I have no idea what I would think about doing next.
