Paper Excellence says it remains focused on the “safe and environmentally sound” hibernation of the mill located in Abercrombie Point, N.S.
The company shut down production at the mill last month, after its plan for a new treatment system that would see it pump treated effluent into the Northumberland Strait was rejected by the province in December.
