Florida Governor Rick Scott: Stop GP from building a wastewater pipeline into the St. Johns River.
The Issue
If Georgia-Pacific paper mill is allowed to build this wastewater pipeline into the St. Johns River it will be a major blow to the thousands of people who use and enjoy the river each day. Currently, GP is unable to meet water quality standards in Rice Creek where its wastewater goes now. So, it believes that its waste will be better "diluted" with the proposed pipeline into the St. Johns. "Dilution is not a solution to pollution" is a saying that has never been more appropriate then in this situation. There are environmentally friendly alternatives out there that could feasibly substitute for the proposed pipeline, and all options need to be explored. Visit CleanerGP.com for all the facts and information.
