Unregognised hazard of Gunns Tamar Pulp Mill - Part 2

This is Part 2 of a 3 part documentary that shows that in 1990, water vapour from the Bowater Paper Mill near Chatanooga was an 'overwhelming contributing factor' in causing white-out conditions on Interstate 75 that led to the worst traffic accident in US history with 16 people killed and dozens seriously injured. The Bowater Mill is 4.8 km from I-75 in a valley similar to the Tamar Valley. The proposed Tamar Pulp mill is less than 1 km from the East Tamar Highway and proposed to be much larger and emit more water vapour (and particulates) than the Bowater Mill. Nowhere in Gunns IIS is the risk of 'artificial fog' addressed. It was never considered by the RPDC, or by Sweco Pic, or by Lennons' Fast Track Approval. Unfortunately such considerations are outside the jurisdiction of the Australian Federal Government. Now view Part 3 (and Part 1 if you have not already done so) and write to your State MHA and MLC now and stop this madness!

This is Part 2 of a 3 part documentary. The worst traffic accident in US history with 16 people killed and dozens seriously injured was caused by 'industrial fog'. The proposed Tamar Pulp mill is less than 1 km from the East Tamar Highway and proposed to be much larger and emit more water vapour (and particulates) than the Bowater Mill. Nowhere in Gunns IIS is the risk of 'industrial fog' addressed. It was never considered by the RPDC, or by Sweco Pic, or by Lennons' Fast Track Approval.

Had they done the more detailed study, this probably wouldn't have happened
