I'm wracking my brain trying to recall what industry uses cooling ponds of that configuration, together with the layout of facilities shown here, I know I've seen it before. And I can't tell if that pile of white stuff is raw material for the process, or is slag or other waste product resulting from the process....RATS! I must qualify for promotion to Intermediate sooner or later! :tb-ooh:
We've had another contest near one just like this one...same type of water filtration/pumping system. But not in the same state Yeah I found it......can't tell where though
Yes, I did- I also lived wast of the Weyerhaeuser mill at Valliant, OK. I was in Hugo, OK, 25 miles west, and could always tell when we had an east wind. Folks there called it the smell of money for the jobs it created.
Plenty of woodchips east of the Mississippi, and not all the celulose is used for paper. I'm thinking TN, AL ish. Bob in IDaho
Found it! Well, Scott, I'm not surprised you found it- it's only a short trip down I-5 from Salem. It's the mill in Springfield, OR, east of Eugene, OR. I've been down in Eugene, but never east of there.
Okay... the eye doctor said I had become mildly presbyopic (i.e., far-sighted), but I didn't realize how bad it really is. That latest photo clearly shows, to me, now that this is over, most of Springfield and the eastern part of Eugene. I spent a couple of years LIVING within the SCOPE of this photo, and I still blew it. :tb-wacky::tb-cute::tb-ooh::tb-shocked: This is not the first time I have missed a nearby GEC subject. One of the only ones I have ever solved was Windhoek, Namibia. I haven't even BEEN to Africa, much less Windhoek. I don't even know how to properly pronounce that city's name!
When I had to switch to so-called "progressive" lenses (seamless bifocals) in my mid-40s, the optician said I was presbyopic. I told him no, I'm Southern Baptist. OK, OK, I'll shut up & go away now................:tb-wink:
That's funny. When my doctor told me that I said that I can't be presbyopic or my Episcopalian wife will throw me out on my ear.
