Introduction

mae_jc_park.jpg (32803 bytes)When I was a kid, my parents took me and my sister on camping trips. On one of these trips, we went to upstate New York- Lake Champlain and Fort Ticonderoga.

At the southern end of Lake Champlain there was a paper mill. The wastewater discharge from the mill had turned the southern end of the lake yellow with sulphur.

This was about 1967 or 1968.

In 1987, I was an inspecting engineer for New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in region 5, upstate NY. I inspected the same paper mill and I visited Lake Champlain. The south end of the lake was no longer yellow.

I am very glad to be part of the dedicated community of people who have done things like cleaning up this beautiful lake.
