Louisiana agency seeking major improvements at Temple-Inland mill in Bogalusa after fish kill [From the web]

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 7, 2011 (Times-Picayune) - Major improvements to the Bogalusa paper mill responsible for a massive August fish kill in the Pearl River will begin at the end of the year and are likely to cost much more than first estimated, adding tens of millions of dollars to the total cost of the spill, officials said. The mill must pay for the infrastructure upgrades as a condition of reopening. It will also face a fine once the investigation into the spill is finished, according to state officials.

The state Department of Environmental Quality released a timeline last week that details when the paper mill, Temple-Inland, must commence and complete construction on the new infrastructure, which is designed to prevent another fish kill. The timeline also requires that a third-party audit team inspect the mill's entire infrastructure and systems by the end of the year.
