我的心聲, 我的悲哀


作詞:鄭國江 作曲:陳百強

等 寂寞到夜深 夜已漸荒涼 夜已漸昏暗
莫道你在選擇人 人亦能選擇你 公平原沒半點偏心

苦澀 慢慢向著心裡滲 何必抱怨 曾令醉心是誰人
自願吻別心上人 糊塗換來一生淚印 何故明是痛苦傷心

還含著笑裝開心 今宵的你可憐還可憫
目睹她遠去 她的腳印心中會永印
糊塗是你的一顆心 他朝你將無窮的後悔 這一生你的心裡滿哀困

Oregon's Northwestern Pulp and Paper Assn. sues DEQ over new water temperature rules; claims DEQ broke state laws

LOS ANGELES, April 2, 2007 (Forestweb) — The Northwest Pulp and Paper Assn., which represents five Oregon mills affected by new temperature regulations for wastewater, filed suit Mar. 16 over the regulations, against the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), the Albany Democrat-Herald reported Mar. 30.

The nonprofit association's member mills in Oregon affected by the new regulations include Weyerhaeuser Co. in Millersburg, Newberg and Springfield; Georgia-Pacific Corp. in Halsey; and Pope & Talbot Inc. in Halsey. Weyerhaeuser has its headquarters in Federal Way, Wash., Georgia-Pacific in Atlanta, and Pope & Talbot in Portland.

The DEQ is attempting to control the temperature of the Willamette River to protect salmon habitat and issued the new regulations in September. The mills are all subject to wastewater regulations because they discharge into the Willamette or its tributaries.

The pulp association’s claim alleges that DEQ's new regulations broke state laws in several ways. They claim the rules forced the mills to manage the temperature of water for which they are not responsible and required temperature monitoring to a hundredth of a degree Celsius.

The claim also alleges that the new regulations ignore the effect of dams on the river’s temperature and do not account for natural temperature changes in river water during the spring and fall.

Gene Foster, DEQ's watershed management official, defended the regulations, and said the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved the new regulations after DEQ signed them in September 2006.

The state of Oregon, Metropolitan Wastewater Management and the Eugene Water and Electric Board have also filed claims in Lane County Circuit Court.

Foster said the new Willamette River regulations affect the whole watershed and are the largest and most complex regulation process his division has undertaken.
