Abstract

The review and analysis presented here indicate that it is both economically desirable and technically feasible for the pulp and paper industry to use the best known and available controls and treatments to safeguard the nation's waters. Government environmental authorities have overestimated the negative economic impact of mills adopting the technologies necessary to control effluents; they have overestimated the degree to which Canadians benefit from what are intended as temporary concessions on discharge controls to protect employment and income. Perhaps even more important, environmental authorities have failed to take into account adequately the enormous costs they may be imposing on present and future generations of Canadians as a result of concessions to pulp and paper manufacturers.
