We do consider this to be a permanent closure. So, at some point, that mill has got to be dismantled. We don't think that there would be anybody who would be interested in acquiring it.

It scares me a bit that we dismantled the CIA to the point that it now takes five years to rebuild it.

I want to emphasize one point — we are not trying to deny the mill a permit to operate. We are asking that the permit provide adequate protection for the recreational and economic value of Sam Rayburn. At the last ANRA Steering Committee meeting I requested consideration for a solution that would call for adequate monitoring of water quality downstream of Paper Mill Creek and enforcement of any standards violations made evident by the proposed monitoring. The recommendations did not receive real consideration.

I would consider myself a rather staunch libertarian.

It's all grist to the mill

There is a chance that the transmitter is malfunctioning ... but we consider that unlikely at this point.
