  * Georgia-Pacific's paper mill dumps between 24 million and 27 million gallons of water mixed with chlorine into the creek daily. * It will be injected into the river through a pipeline. * The chlorine creates dioxin -- a carcinogenic compound -- in the creek. * The mill has dumped wastewater into Rice Creek since 1947. * An industrial area in Jacksonville and Rice Creek are considered the most polluted parts of the St. Johns River. -- Information from St. Augustine Record file stories http://staugustine.com/stories/073008/news_073008_006.shtml
