Stephanie Ogle and the Washington Department of Ecology, Jefferson County Washington and the City of Port Townsend are NOT doing ENOUGH to Protect YOUR Rights to Breathe Clean NON-Toxic Air.

The Washington Department of Ecology is NOT doing their JOB of protecting the Ecology of Port Townsend Washington. In fact the Washington Department of Ecology is allowing the Port Townsend Paper Mill to pollute our air and water and to continue to use 14 MILLION Gallons of Water a day in a time of EMERGENCY drought.

Stephanie Ogle of the Washington Department of Ecology is assigned to regulate the Port Townsend Paper Mill and claims to follow up on all odor complaints. However, all this seems to be is to contact the mill and see if everything was normal and okey dokey on that day. The Mill says Ya all is well and well that is that. So it would seem that the Washington Department of Ecology is really out to protect the mill and not the water, air, soil, and people in Washington.

Kind of like asking a criminal if they committed the crime, of course they say NOPE sure didn't.

Stephanie Ogle and the Washington  Department of Ecology is not really a People BEFORE Profit sort of group. Yet they are paid by public dollars. 


The Bottom Line is the mill is, in my understanding of the laws, breaking the clean air, clean water and clean soil laws. They are harassing us constantly and ruining our legal right to quiet enjoyment of property. The Port Townsend Paper Mill, I allege, is breaking the Clean Air Act, and yes are committing crimes on the residents of Port Townsend.

The Washington Department of Ecology allegedly logs odor complaints, SO WHAT. They are supposed to protect the water, soil, air and people of Washington. Instead they protect the profits of the Crown Paper Group, not even based out of Washington.

Complaining about Odor is Futile. They don't do anything but pay us lip service.

The DOE and EPA does NOT address the poisons we are clearly breathing nor the massive clean water that is poisoned by the mill. And for WHAT? The alleged smell of MONEY.

That money smell is for the lung doctors, the mill owners, the investors and not for Port Townsend. There are clean jobs that could come in and there is tons of clean up jobs. The PT Mill gets grants and lot's of hand outs, plus they use 14 Million Gallons of water a day. SURELY there can be a way to create 400 jobs in PT without poisoning us and ruining our quality of life.

Stephanie Ogle of the Washington  Department of Ecology gets her deep investigative results from the mill itself. 

And she says "Generally speaking, the operations at the mill were normal and the air pollution control equipment was operating within their normal ranges. They did not have any leaks/spills/abnormal releases during that period."

What does "generally" MEAN? This is our precious air. We have a right to clean air. The harassing smell that the PT mill puts out is toxic and annoying. There is no such thing as generally speaking. WE WANT FACTS, and the Clean Air and Water Laws OBEYED. The Washington Department of Ecology is SUPPOSED to make sure the laws are followed and not CODDLE corporations.



What does "normal" and "normal ranges" MEAN? 

Normal Ranges is the PROBLEM. The Mill's NORMAL toxic spewing is poisoning us, harassing us, and is in violation of the Clean Air Act. It is wrong, immoral and I believe flat out against the law to put these toxins in our air and water daily. The NORMAL RANGES need to be stopped as they are unconstitutional, unlawful and a complete violation of citizen rights and property rights.

Stephanie Ogle also says;

"While the emissions from the mill are within their normal operations, the weather can have an amplifying affect on the odors that are generated at the facility. It has been hotter and more humid recently and it looks like there are have been some periods of low to no winds, which can also increase the intensity of the odors. This may be why the odors have been worse during the past week.
I will continue to request that they investigate the odor complaints and I will let you know if they do find anything outside of their normal operating ranges."

ENOUGH with the blaming the Weather. JUST Stop the source of the toxins and DO YOUR JOB. Stop mumbling about weather, generally and normally and get STRICT about what is really going on. Protect the people paying your wage. The mill is SERIOUS bad every single day it is operating REGARDLESS of humidity, wind, weather or other mumbo jumbo.

STOP LETTING THE Bad Guys Regulate themselves. STOP calling the perpetrator and asking them if they are committing the alleged crime. INVESTIGATE yourself. Monitor the Air, Obey the Law.

Washington Environmental Law - Dale Stahl and the Port Townsend Paper Mill Are NOT above the Law. Amcol International Corp. ACO is NOT above the Law.


Washington Environmental Law Resource Links









AMCOL International Corporation, Amcol International Corp., William Henry Schumann, 
Clarence O. Redman, Paul C. Weaver,Daniel P. Casey, Audrey L. Weaver, Donald J. Gallagher, Cliffs Natural Resources Inc., Frederick J. Palensky, Jay D. Proops, Arthur Brown
Maxim Resources Inc., Ryan F. McKendrick, John Hughes, Temple-Inland Inc., Inland Paperboard and Packaging, Inc. ARE not above the Law.

Sustainability Bill of Rights; What other areas are doing that Port Townsend Washington Residents Could Do. "corporations and their leadership do not have special privileges or powers under the law that supersede the community’s rights"


If Port Townsend City can enact a LAW to not use Plastic Bags, then surely the City of Port Townsend would care more about ammonia and other toxins in the air and water. And therefore Enact Laws in order to Protect the Citizens of Port Townsend. And NOT simply let the Port Townsend Paper Mill run amok and possibly poison Port Townsend Washington Residents, Water, Soil, Sea Life, Plants and Animals.

Here is a GREAT Example of what  Port Townsend Washington Residents can do to FIGHT BACK. This is not about hippies, environmentalists, loggers, or jobs, this is a matter of are  Port Townsend Washington Residents being poisoned or not. If so then no job or profit of any kind is worth it.

I am a online marketing expert. I make a living online. However I have also owned my own real estate brokerage for over 12 years, and I say there is NO WAY that shutting down the Mill or making the mill obey the law, will affect the economy here. I say the ECONOMY will be stronger, will be more based in Organic Farms, Artists, Writers,  higher learning and many others ways in which will be a truly "Clean Community".

It is a MYTH that Port Townsend Washington will collapse if the Port Townsend Washington Residents FORCE the Port Townsend Paper Mill to obey the law and YOUR Constitutional Rights. 

Based on the Clean Water Act, a 1972, the City of Port Townsend, Jefferson County, could actually enact law to STOP the pollution of the Port Townsend Bay, Port Townsend Air, Water and Soil, BY LAW and constitutional rights.


Below is part of an article from March 14th 2013

"The ordinance, known as the Sustainability Bill of Rights, asserts that corporations and their leadership do not have special privileges or powers under the law that supersede the community’s rights."

"It also requires that the Office of Sustainability and the Environment prepare a report every two years documenting progress on the Sustainable City Plan, an effort begun in the mid-1990s to create benchmarks and goals to make Santa Monica more environmentally friendly, and that City Hall hold a public hearing.

Finally, and perhaps most controversially, some believe that the law gives residents the ability to sue a polluter themselves when one of those rights are violated, without waiting for City Hall or other agencies to get the ball rolling.

The ordinance was, in Council member Kevin McKeown’s words, a fundamental power shift away from business interests and toward the community that has not yet happened in the environmental movement.

“Unrestrained capitalism has extracted the good out of our environment in many, many cases. Here, for the first time, we as a city are taking a stand and saying we’re not going to let that happen anymore,” McKeown said.

The Sustainability Bill of Rights emerged from the Task Force on the Environment — consisting of a group of residents — after the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission, which further cemented the rights of corporations as individuals in American law. The court’s decision opened the doors to unlimited campaign spending on behalf of companies.

The law was also a reaction to the spread of fracking, a process of extracting fossil fuels from the ground that many environmentalists say is extremely damaging to the environment, poisoning groundwater and even causing earthquakes.

The City Council approved a resolution in January 2012 backing the concept of the Sustainability Bill of Rights, but the resolution had no teeth. Those in support of the law passed Tuesday feel the City Council’s vote changed that.

“The fact that it establishes individual environmental rights is very important,” said Mark Gold, former president of nonprofit Heal the Bay and associate director of the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability.

Gold has spent much of his career fighting to save the environment from the negative impacts of human habitation on the Santa Monica Bay and other water ecosystems.

His primary tool was the Clean Water Act, a 1972 federal law that regulates quality standards for surface water, but the law lost effectiveness and involved arcane measurements that were difficult for members of the public to understand.

This ordinance finds strength in its return to basic environmental roots, Gold said.

Supporters of the Sustainability Bill of Rights believe that the law gives them the ability to sue polluters in court if City Hall does not do so. That could include what some call  Santa Monica’s “groundwater wars,” with over a decade spent in court to get companies to clean up dangerous chemicals that had leached into the groundwater through buried gasoline storage tanks.

“That legal standing did not exist before,” said Cris Gutierrez, a member of the Task Force on the Environment.

It was carefully-crafted to prevent abuse, and cannot be used to protect every street tree or stop every development in the city, Gold said.

“The ability of an individual to sue the city because they don’t like a development approval, that’s not in there,” Gold said."

The Rights of Port Townsend Paper Mill and their investors, DO NOT exceed the rights of the Port Townsend Residents to clean air and clean water.

Could Jefferson County Washington Vote in their own Environmental Bill of Rights and DEMAND that, by LAW they have a right to clean air and clean water?


This Town Did,

"The measure would amend the township's home rule charter to state that residents have rights to clean air and water, self-government and a sustainable energy future. "

Port Townsend Paper Mill Blog by Investigative Blogger Crystal Cox



This Blog is NOT intended to reach out for Public Support. 

This BLOG is to collect data, information and resources in order to investigate by BLOG, as to  the Port Townsend Paper Mill obeying the Law, the Constitutional rights of Port Townsend Residents, the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. §1251), Federal Water Pollution Control Act, WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL (33 U.S.C. § 125), Forest Service Laws, Watershed Laws, Marine Life Laws, SEC Laws, Environmental Laws, Marine Sanitation Laws (33 U.S.C. 1322), Washington State Laws, the Washington Constitution, the U.S. Constitution,
and all the laws, codes and rights that apply to the alleged toxic water and air coming out of the Port Townsend Paper Mill.


If you want to apply to be a blog author on this blog or any of the blogs of Investigative Blogger Crystal Cox, email me at Crystal@CrystalCox.com 

This 
Port Townsend Paper Mill Blog by Investigative Blogger Crystal Cox is not a Public Brawl, and not to simply vent an opinion or rant. This blog is intended to dig deep into the issue and discover if ANY laws or Federal codes are being broke by the Port Townsend Paper Mill, knowingly or unknowingly, in ANY way whatsoever.

Investigative Blogger Crystal L. Cox is not investigating this topic by blog to gain friends. It is about the TRUTH, and finding it to the best of my ability. No matter what that TRUTH may be.

This Port Townsend Paper Mill Blog is about exposing those violating the LAW. No One is above the law. Not even  the Port Townsend Paper Corporation.


It is not a matter of, if Port Townsend needs the jobs or not, that is not the issue. 

Port Townsend Washington may need the jobs to "survive" according to some, however, in order to thrive and truly survive one needs clean air and clean water FIRST.

In 2013 there are lots of OTHER ways to make a living besides knowingly, daily working at a job that is poisoning those you love, and the community you live in, if this is the case. This blog is about finding that information out, by digging into decades of data, reports, comments, stories, tips and information.

Is the Port Townsend Paper Mill dumping toxic water into the Port Townsend Bay?



Is the Port Townsend Paper Mill BELLOWING toxins daily into the air that Port Townsend Washington resident breath or not? It should be something that is factual or not factual.


Is it True or is it False, this Blog is to FIND Out.




Is the Port Townsend Paper Mill putting out toxins, and if so is this acceptable at any level? If there are Toxins, what laws apply, what cause of action can one take to stop the toxins from being put into the air and the water?

If the Port Townsend Paper Mill is violating any laws, then all past and present CEO's, Managers, Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Executive Chairman are certainly liable professionally and personally right, by law? And if they knew they were violating laws then this is an issue for the federal criminal authorities right?

Is the Port Townsend Paper Mill putting toxic sludge into the ground water, the soil, and are the fumes that are rising from this sludge toxic?  Is the water poisonous, toxic? Are any KNOWN carcinogens put into the water by the Port Townsend Paper Mill sludge, and if so is any level really acceptable? lawful?





Where does the Sludge Go? Whose liability does it Become? 
Whose Health Does it Affect.

Is it TRUE that the Port Townsend Paper Mill does not have to report the toxin levels of the SLUDGE they create from their kraft process, and that the "END USER" has to report this? If so then the SLUDGE that is used for fill soil or other purposes is liable to be reported on the end that uses it. This SLUDGE could end up in Organic Farms, Playgrounds or who knows where and it is alleged that the Port Townsend Paper Mill has no liability and no duty to disclose the toxin levels that they produced, simply because they shipped it elsewhere. Is this TRUE or some sort of  Port Townsend Paper Mill urban myth.


Is the Port Townsend Paper Mill a candidate for a super fund site? Why would residents of Port Townsend Washington knowingly allow this industry to keep putting out toxins into the soil, water and air knowing that one day it could be a super fund site?




















Is the Port Townsend Paper Mill putting out 500 lbs of oil and grease daily?
 IS this Acceptable levels by law?

Is the Port Townsend Paper Mill putting out 1,000 lbs. ammonia daily? IS this Acceptable levels by law?

Is the Port Townsend Paper Mill putting out 53,337 lbs. sulphates daily ? IS this Acceptable levels by law?

Is the Port Townsend Paper Mill putting out 10,314 lbs magnesium daily ? IS this Acceptable levels by law?

Is the Port Townsend Paper Mill putting an unlawful amount of toxins into the Air?

Is the Port Townsend Paper Mill putting an unlawful amount of toxins into the Soil?

Is the Port Townsend Paper Mill putting an unlawful amount of toxins into the Water?

Is the Port Townsend Paper Mill in Federal and State Compliance for REAL, or is someone paid off somewhere?






Is the Port Townsend Paper Mill reporting accurately on any aquifer testing ?

Is the Port Townsend Paper Mill Environmental Director acting withing the law on all issues?


Was there EVER falsified reports of Toxicity in the history of the Port Townsend Paper Mill ?


This Port Townsend Paper Mill Blog is intended to uncover information, to find out the FACTS, and from those facts investigated, determine if it is believed that any Federal Laws, Constitutional Laws, or Washington Laws are being violated. And if the laws are being violated, then the next step is complaints to the U.S. Attorney General, the EPA, the Washington Attorney General, the Department of Ecology, the U.S Forest Service Qulicene Watershed, and the Department of Justice.

If the Port Townsend Paper Corporation has violated any state, federal or constitutional laws, then as a resident of Port Townsend Washington, Investigative Blogger Crystal Cox will file legal action with the cause of actions thought to be violated and proceed to a trial to prove those findings, and DEMAND financial relief in regard to all allowed by law. 

This is NOT a matter of public opinion, the PUBLIC has already spoken in the enactment of the laws that apply to the Port Townsend Paper Corporation, the Quilcene River, the Port Townsend Bay, Clean Water Laws, Clean Air Laws, Constitutional Rights, Federal Laws, Washington State Laws.

Those laws must be enforced by authorities and if they are not known to be in violation then Investigative Blogger Crystal Cox will let those authorities know of these violations. 

It is the lawful and constitutional right of every citizen to have clean air, clean water, clean soil and if there is a violation of law, U.S Codes, Constitutional Rights by the Port Townsend Paper Corporation, then each citizen has a right BY LAW, to financial relief for the damages caused to them, their rights, property, business and quality of life by the knowing or unknowing action of  the Port Townsend Paper Mill and it's executives, personally and professionally.

If the PUBLIC wants the laws changed, then they must petition governing bodies and change the laws. It is not ethical, moral nor lawful to simply attack, berate, and retaliate against those asking that the laws that voters voted to be law are actually enforced, as a matter of LAW.

This is not an issue of environmentalist or not, it is a matter of law, constitutional rights, and it is NOT a matter of a public brawl on a debate of which good ol' boy industry should be allowed to poison us and which should not, based on the status quo. Nor is it about attacking or defaming the Port Townsend Paper Corporation, or their executives. If the Port Townsend Paper Corporation has been give a false, bad and defaming rap, well the facts will turn this up too.

Either the Port Townsend Paper Corporation is poisoning the citizens of Port Townsend Washington or Not. Plain and Simple.

Either the Port Townsend Paper Corporation is in violation of state, constitutional and federal LAW or not.

This blog is not about gaining support to shut down the mill nor to gain support to negotiate with the Port Townsend Paper Corporation - Port Townsend Paper Mill, this Port Townsend Paper Mill Blog is intended to figure out what laws apply, what permits were given by who, what laws and codes apply, what toxins, if any, are really going into the Port Townsend Bay, Port Townsend Drinking Water, and the Port Townsend Air, and to take action or not from that point of discovery.


This Port Townsend Paper Mill Blog is written upon the knowledge and belief 
of Investigative Blogger Crystal Cox.

I, Crystal L. Cox, personally do not care if I gain support or not, in this matter. I am about the health and welfare of Goddess Mother Earth and the residents upon her. I am for Clean Air, Clean Water, and the public's right, my right to breath non-toxic air and drink non-toxic water and I am prepared to SUE anyone interfering with that as a matter of law, US Codes and constitutional rights, whether I stand alone or with an army.

It only takes ONE Person to File Legal Action, and Well, I, for one, am Not Afraid of a Court Room Scuffle / a Legal Battle to Fight for the Right to NOT breath ammonia in my air, or to NOT have violations of law and political favoritism that in any way endanger the community I have come to love.

This blog is not about creating some fight, or public debate with the locals, the mill workers or their families, or the community at large. Once the truth is actually found it is not up for debate, if the facts are found, then they are facts and the action will move from those facts. AND not from a public brawl to protect a 30 year way of life that is toxic to those who live in it. 

AGAIN, it is not about being an Environmentalist or a Logger, or any dividing lines, it is about us all needing and deserving clean air, clean soil and clean water.

Those who can use their VOICE boldly, fearlessly, must speak for those who cannot and for the sea life, wild life, the children and critters that also need this, and cannot speak for themselves in this system of how the world works. 

Those of us who can stand up and say Not on our Watch, MUST do so, as a matter of moral, ethical and spiritual duty to Mother Earth, her people and animals. It is simply what a Spiritual Warrior must do as a calling, and not to simply create scandal and chaos, but to actually incite change and expose TRUTH, in effort to make the world a better place for each of us and raise the consciousness as a whole.  

I was raised on the proverbial timber dollars. I have a degree in Forestry and had my own Forest Technician business at one point in my life, I Get It. 

I am not a liberal, not a conservative. I am not on the left or the right. I am about the Truth, NOT the LIE, and investigations that turn up the truth as a matter of fact and law; No matter who it offends, right or left, rich or poor. Clean Air, Soil and Water is a resident of Earth issue that every citizen has a right to and is not a political issue nor a big corporation right to infringe upon.

If there have been violations of law then all who violated this law are liable to all whose lives, property, constitutional rights, and business they affected.

If it turns out the Port Townsend Paper Corporation's President's dog knew that a crime was being committing and people were put in danger well then I will name that dog in criminal complaints and legal action too, KIDDING of course, but you get the point. NO one is above the LAW.

It only takes ONE to Take Action and Expose the Wrong 

Love Me, Hate Me, NEITHER makes a difference to what is right and what is WRONG and I will continue to post information to attempt to undercover the TRUE Facts. Should I find those facts, I will personally file legal action ALONE or with anyone who stands with me in this action.

I shall hold no public meetings, seek no support, and I will post the facts I find or that are sent to me the best I can to the best of my ability. Once I have enough information on this issue, I will file complaints and legal action alone or with other supporters should they turn up.

Should anyone reading my blog posts regarding the Port Townsend Paper Mill

want to sue me, I will accept service via email, PROUDLY !!

Just Remember I BITE Back, so .. If you have ANY Skeletons in your Closet, You May want to run them off BEFORE you SUE the infamous Unhinged Blogger, Crazy Crystal Cox.


Sincerely,
in Love and Light

It is the lawful and constitutional right of every citizen to have clean air, clean water, clean soil and if there is a violation of law, U.S Codes, Constitutional Rights by the Port Townsend Paper Corporation, then each citizen has a right BY LAW, to financial relief for the damages caused to them, their rights, property, business and quality of life by the knowing or unknowing action of  the Port Townsend Paper Mill and it's executives, personally and professionally.

If the PUBLIC wants the laws changed, then they must petition governing bodies and change the laws. It is not ethical, moral nor lawful to simply attack, berate, and retaliate against those asking that the laws that voters voted to be law are actually enforced, as a matter of LAW.

This is not an issue of environmentalist or not, it is a matter of law, constitutional rights, and it is NOT a matter of a public brawl on a debate of which good ol' boy industry should be allowed to poison us and which should not, based on the status quo. Nor is it about attacking or defaming the Port Townsend Paper Corporation, or their executives. If the Port Townsend Paper Corporation has been give a false, bad and defaming rap, well the facts will turn this up too.

Either the Port Townsend Paper Corporation is poisoning the citizens of Port Townsend Washington or Not. Plain and Simple.

Either the Port Townsend Paper Corporation is in violation of state, constitutional and federal LAW or not.

This blog is not about gaining support to shut down the mill nor to gain support to negotiate with the Port Townsend Paper Corporation - Port Townsend Paper Mill, this Port Townsend Paper Mill Blog is intended to figure out what laws apply, what permits were given by who, what laws and codes apply, what toxins, if any, are really going into the Port Townsend Bay, Port Townsend Drinking Water, and the Port Townsend Air, and to take action or not from that point of discovery.

This Port Townsend Paper Mill Blog is written upon the knowledge and belief 
of Investigative Blogger Crystal Cox.

I, Crystal L. Cox, personally do not care if I gain support or not, in this matter. I am about the health and welfare of Goddess Mother Earth and the residents upon her. I am for Clean Air, Clean Water, and the public's right, my right to breath non-toxic air and drink non-toxic water and I am prepared to SUE anyone interfering with that as a matter of law, US Codes and constitutional rights, whether I stand alone or with an army.

It only takes ONE Person to File Legal Action, and Well, I, for one, am Not Afraid of a Court Room Scuffle / a Legal Battle to Fight for the Right to NOT breath ammonia in my air, or to NOT have violations of law and political favoritism that in any way endanger the community I have come to love.

This blog is not about creating some fight, or public debate with the locals, the mill workers or their families, or the community at large. Once the truth is actually found it is not up for debate, if the facts are found, then they are facts and the action will move from those facts. AND not from a public brawl to protect a 30 year way of life that is toxic to those who live in it. 

AGAIN, it is not about being an Environmentalist or a Logger, or any dividing lines, it is about us all needing and deserving clean air, clean soil and clean water.

Those who can use their VOICE boldly, fearlessly, must speak for those who cannot and for the sea life, wild life, the children and critters that also need this, and cannot speak for themselves in this system of how the world works.

Those of us who can stand up and say Not on our Watch, MUST do so, as a matter of moral, ethical and spiritual duty to Mother Earth, her people and animals. It is simply what a Spiritual Warrior must do as a calling, and not to simply create scandal and chaos, but to actually incite change and expose TRUTH, in effort to make the world a better place for each of us and raise the consciousness as a whole.  

I was raised on the proverbial timber dollars. I have a degree in Forestry and had my own Forest Technician business at one point in my life, I Get It. 

I am not a liberal, not a conservative. I am not on the left or the right. I am about the Truth, NOT the LIE, and investigations that turn up the truth as a matter of fact and law; No matter who it offends, right or left, rich or poor. Clean Air, Soil and Water is a resident of Earth issue that every citizen has a right to and is not a political issue nor a big corporation right to infringe upon.

If there have been violations of law then all who violated this law are liable to all whose lives, property, constitutional rights, and business they affected.

If it turns out the Port Townsend Paper Corporation's President's dog knew that a crime was being committing and people were put in danger well then I will name that dog in criminal complaints and legal action too, KIDDING of course, but you get the point. NO one is above the LAW.

It only takes ONE to Take Action and Expose the Wrong 

Love Me, Hate Me, Still I will continue to post information to attempt to undercover the TRUE Facts. Should I find those facts, I will personally file legal action ALONE or with anyone who stands with me in this action.

I shall hold no public meetings, seek no support, and I will post the facts I find or that are sent to me the best I can to the best of my ability. Once I have enough information on this issue, I will file complaints and legal action alone or with other supporters should they turn up.

Should anyone reading my blog posts regarding the Port Townsend Paper Mill and want to sue me, I will accept service via email, PROUDLY !!



Sincerely,
in Love and Light
