Honey Island Conservation Program

Dear Louisiana Lawmakers,
The massive fish kill on the Pearl River is a disaster to our local ecosystem and to the residents who rely on it for their livelihoods and recreation. We urge you to hold Temple-Inlan, Inc. fully accountable for their actions, including fines for the loss of endangered species and loss of recreational and commercial use of the river. Please direct the state to conduct a thorough natural resources damage assessment, enforce stiff penalties for this incident, and work to make sure that all paper mills in Louisiana are held to the maximum achievable control technology available.
We also believe that the best use of any future fines against Temple-Inland, Inc. would be to establish a formal conservation program for the Pearl River basin. This program could include componets that would focus on environmental education and stewerdship, ecological recovery and maintenance, enhancement of recreational and commercial access, and citizen engagement and oversight over the process. Thank you for your concern.

This disaster has the potential to devastate a substantial amount of public property. Please make the private company responsible for the damage also responsible for the clean up of the damage. Don't allow the innocent citizens pay for the private company

The results of such pollution of the environment is inexcusable and the Temple-Inlan should be held responsible for cleaning up the Pearl River!
