Quadra Islanders will soon know more about what effect the Catalyst paper mill is having on air quality.
The mill is paying to install an air quality monitoring station in the
Cape Mudge Band's village on Quadra Island. The station will be
installed by April 15, said James Lethbridge, the mill's environmental
officer, at a Feb. 22 meeting of the Elk Falls Community Advisory Forum.

In an unusual move, B.C. Ministry of Environment has imposed tighter
controls on the Crofton pulp mill's operating permit based on
recommendations by a local environmental lobby.
Bernard Bintner, the ministry officer drafting the permit, said the
Crofton Airshed Citizens Group successfully argued that some updated
pollutant limits were, in fact, not improvements over the old limits.

Crofton couple part of high-tech project to identify odours coming from the
Catalyst pulp and paper mill.

After 40 years of fighting for tighter pollution controls on the Crofton
pulp mill, Bill Bonsall is helping the mill on a year-long project to sniff
out errant fumes.
The cool breeze blowing across the Bonsall family farm north of the Crofton
pulp mill is free of any foul smells today, but all too often that isn't the
case.
Last year Bill and Maxine Bonsall recorded more than 100 days of stink
leaching into their house, sometimes causing headaches and sleepless nights.
With neat handwriting, Maxine logged the details of every odorous encounter
- from "rotten" to "horrific" to "very putrid."

Members of the Crofton Airshed Citizens Groups (CACG) were shocked to
learn the provincial government has no intention of extending public
consultation before renewing Catalyst Paper’s Crofton mill emissions
permit.
According to the CACG’s Patti Bauer, the current application is an
ideal opportunity to seek public input on dated emissions standards.

To monitor or to model, that is Crofton's air quality question.
Central Vancouver Island's top doctor weighed in on the dilemma vexing
the Catalyst pulp mill community advisory forum, recommending air
pollution be monitored, rather than committing to another scientific
study.
Dr. Fred Rockwell, VIHA's mid-Island chief health officer, said
modelling the spread of contaminants through the community, and then
using those results to determine health hazards, is fraught with error.
