As North Carolina plans how it will address air quality over the next decade, it s not taking into account the worst polluters or even all the pollutants, conservation groups say, hampering the state s pristine natural areas and leaving its people breathing dirtier air. 
North Carolina, along with every other state, is currently putting together implementation plans for the Clean Air Act’s Regional Haze Rule, which requires federal and state authorities to work together to identify and address sources of air pollution in national parks and other areas, a release from the National Parks Conservation Association says. ....

Like the proverbial bad penny, Pigeon River pollution keeps turning up. Or, in this case, bubbling up. 
The state of North Carolina wants to loosen regulations, including removal of a color variance, on effluent entering the Pigeon River from the Blue Ridge Paper Products plant in Canton, N.C. 
If you’re confused by the Blue Ridge name and its eco-sounding nom de plume, Evergreen Packaging, let me lay two words on you. 
Champion Paper.
Yep, this is the same mill that sent dark, foul-smelling, foamy wastewater into the Pigeon for much of the 20th century.

Regulations on paper company might change Pigeon River discharges


An online public hearing is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Jan. 20, 2021.
According to the nonprofit based in nearby Hartford, “Over the next month, CWEET will be working to bring awareness to the impact of the industrial waste management, as well as relevant information to the short- and long-term effects to the water, ecosystem and public health due to the processes allowed/disallowed by the permits.”
At issue is a request from Blue Ridge Paper Products that a previous color variance be removed.
The change is part of the company’s renewal of its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit No. NC0000272. ....
