The province’s environment minister last month rejected the company’s latest attempt to get approval for a plan to pump treated waste water into the Northumberland Strait
A Sunday statement from Paper Excellence says that as of next week, only the facility’s wood waste boiler will be operating to provide heat while equipment is cleaned.
Paper Excellence says the operation will involve removing chemicals, pulp and wood fibre from storage tanks, piping and yards. Premier Stephen McNeil said last month that the company would have to comply with the legislated Jan. 31 deadline to close its effluent facility in Boat Harbour, N.S., near the Pictou Landing First Nation.
The company says it doesn’t know how long the closure will last but reiterated Sunday that it intends to continue with the province’s environmental assessment process.
