Ministry says

But he said that, through negotiations, the mill and
ministry are making sufficient progress towards resolving
nitrogen oxide and particulate issues at the plant.

“Therefore, we didn’t feel prosecution would provide
any benefit to the situation,” he said.

Nitrogen oxide undergoes reactions in the atmosphere
to produce nitrogen dioxide, a pungent reddish-brown gas
that’s been implicated in respiratory disease and the ere-
ation of acid rain.

Robb said that air monitoring shows there is not a sig-
nificant impact from the mill’s sulphur dioxide emissions
even though the permit has been exceeded. And, he added,
the mill does better than all other B.C. mills for sulphur
emissions.

“It’s tough to justify the
court given that het, and gi
mills have a sulphur dio: limit,” said Rob!

But Jacks said the mill’s one air monitoring station
doesn’t tell the whole story. The pollutants go into the air
and water somewhere, he added.

Jacks said Howe Sound should be the best mill by far
because it’s so close to the third-most-populated urban
area in Canada.

Jacks is being supported in his efforts against the Canfor
and New Oji Paper Company-owned mill by the West
Coast Environmental Law Association.

A Howe Sound spokesman said he could not comment
on Jacks’ legal action because the company has no infor-
mation on it. “We are the cleanest mill in B.C. and one of
the cleanest in the world,” said environment superinten-
dent Al Strang.

House Sound Pulp and Paper has applied for a
in its permit for nitrogen oxide and sulphur dios
sions. But the company adds it does not intend to
emissions if the amendment is approved.

Robb expects a decision on the application to be made
in May.

West Vancouver-Garibaldi Liberal MLA Ted Nebbeling
said he supports a 600-signature petition asking the envi-
ronment minister not to approve the permit application.

the creek improvements were
