Nova Scotians now have access to the details of Northern Pulp’s controversial plan to build a new effluent treatment plant and discharge pipeline that will empty into the Northumberland Strait.
The Pictou County pulp mill’s 614-page document, including 18 appendices, was filed with Nova Scotia’s Environment Department a week ago and was posted Thursday on the department’s website.
The plan put forward to the Environment Department is to build a “biological activated sludge” treatment facility purchased from a Paris-based multinational corporation called Veolia Water Technologies.
