Environmental group, timber firm Weyerhaeuser to settle over pollution claims at Longview timber...

The Longview mill and its neighbors have been hit multiple times with allegations of pollution in recent years.
Less than two months after it sued over alleged river pollution in Cowlitz County, a group of environmental activists inked a settlement with one of the world’s largest timber firms.

Columbia Riverkeeper and Weyerhaeuser will settle on a deal to end the former’s lawsuit in exchange for upgrades at a mill in Longview, Washington, that is at the heart of the activists’ concerns.
