Scope and content
Pollution control set-up at St. Regis Paper Co. St. Regis, the largest employer in Pierce County, launched a vigorous attack against pollution in 1971. The company already had a fully operational water clarifier that pumped daily 28 million gallons of treated water into Puget Sound. They announced plans in May of 1971 to spend $22 million to clean up the air, including plans to build a precipitator furnace to cut down non-condensable gasses from the plant's stacks.
