Well, thanks for sharing that info. Two sides to every story!
the plant was built many years ago and the laws were different. the ground beneath the plant has literally been legally changed so many times and ways as the laws have changed. they will be held to task for old practices that weren't against the law at the time and the damage had already been done by the time the laws came into being.
I had heard that the company cannot afford the cleanup that would be demanded is the only reason they actually retain the property. and the place used to provide a couple hundred jobs. not anymore, but like i said, they can't close it for that reason.
Thank you for providing that other viewpoint--honestly I never thought of it that way. I think regardless of how long a plant has been there, they should have to abide by laws and regulations regarding pollution--but that being said, if they are abiding by the laws and you move right next to the plant.... Then the smell is the smell. I get that.
I was just looking at the newsletter that i got this week in the mail and seen the creating cleaner air in bethel section.
Having lived around in lane county since 1970 i thought the complaint was a bit backwards as the j h baxter plant was there long before all the apartments, etc.. that are across the street from it now.
People build houses next to a industrial plant and then complain about the smell? Perhaps one should have took note of it when the houses were thought of being built instead of building them and then complaining about the smell.
My father worked at jh baxter for over 30 years and i've worked there myself in the past.
It does a needed job and has a purpose. it's not there just for fun. it was there first so if someone was thinking of "action" OF SOME SORT.. perhaps they should complain at the contractors or developers who built your houses where they did instead of at the plant that was there first. Now that makes alot more sense to me to get at the ones responsible for your "inconvenience" of moving in next to a industrial plant.
