Chip Hilarides, Georgia-Pacific's Senior Environmental Consultant in Bellingham, said that when G-P began to application of mind the possibility of giving the Port of Bellingham the two possession of the company's waterfront industrial land as well as the responsibility for its environmental clean up it made a hazard of sense from the pulp-and-paper company's point of view.

"With a estate like this, especially in a high-value area, it would be highly difficult for us to as well-as; not only-but also; not only-but; not alone-but manage the environmental clean up and evolve it, especially in a way that is acceptable to the community," Hilarides said.
