Federal Government Taking Action With Cosmo Specialty Fibers Mill

The EPA says the mill's owner must begin removing hundreds of thousands of gallons of hazardous chemicals this month or the agency will do it instead.

The federal government is taking action to clean up the abandoned Cosmo Specialty Fibers mill in Cosmopolis. The EPA says the mill's owner must begin removing hundreds of thousands of gallons of hazardous chemicals this month or the agency will do it instead. The site has been leaking chemicals for years and has drawn renewed attention following the fatal Nippon Dynawave disaster in Longview. Officials warn the deteriorating mill poses an ongoing threat to the Chehalis River and nearby neighborhoods.
