ALL EFFORTS CONTINUE
TO KEEP SUPERIOR
FISHING HERE
A Georgia water resources
official says that no effort
will be spared to maintain the
superior fishing attraction
of interstate Lake Seminole.
Robert H. Byers, the State
Health department’s director
of service for water resources,
reported that the Great
Southern Land and Paper Co.
is cooperating fully to pre
vent its big plant at Cedar
Springs from depositing
wastes that are harmful to
fish in the Chattahoochee
River above the lake.
Also, said Myers, the cause
of a fish kill in the river be
fore the pulp plant opened
has been pinpointed. This da-
The home of Mr. J. R.
(Red) Odom in the lower part

ed by neighbors until too late

tents.

mage to the fish population,
he explained, resulted from
the filling of the Columbia
Lock and Dam upstream and
from river channel dredging,
both of which tended to speed
up decay of organic matter
and lower the oxygen content
of the water below fish life
requirements.
Soon after the $57 million
dollar paper mill began oper
ating in September, Byers
related, a break occurred in
its waste settling system.
The huge mill promptly shut
down until repairs were made.
Byers emphasized that no
fish injury has resulted
from -the mill’s wastes.
He said a close watch is
being kept over all possible
sources of fish injury, be
cause of the popularity and
recreational value of the
Georgia - Florida - Alabama
Lake and the streams feed
ing it.
