Environment (April 2008 - Feb. 2021)

Today, April 28, the province released final terms of reference for the Northern Pulp environmental assessment report.

“This document provides a roadmap for the company to follow as it works to submit an environmental assessment report,” said Environment Minister Gordon Wilson. “Once that report has been submitted, I am open to considering whether an environmental assessment panel should be appointed.”

Northern Pulp now has up to two years to submit the report on its proposed new effluent treatment plant.
