Northern Pulp can meet conditions, report to province says

CBC News has obtained a report from CBCL Limited — an environmental engineering firm hired by the province — that states Northern Pulp should be able to meet stricter environmental conditions.
The CBCL report, obtained through freedom of information and protection of privacy legislation, says it’s doable for those pertaining to water and wastewater.
Paper Excellence, the company that owns the mill, asked the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia for a review of water and a total of 20 conditions on the grounds that some are “impossible to meet” and would require “building a new mill” to do so. The Nova Scotia Environment Department has yet to make a final decision on conditions that — for the first time — regulate how much water the mill can use and how much effluent it can discharge for treatment at Boat Harbour.
