Paper Excellence"s Prince Albert Pulp submits environmental impact statement to Saskatchewan government

Paper Excellence announced that the company’s Prince Albert Pulp Inc mill restart project has submitted its environmental impact statement (EIS) to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment in Canada. The EIS is a critical part of the environmental permitting process and marks another significant step in the process towards restarting the dormant pulp mill, which has been down since 2006.

“Submitting our environmental impact statement is a critical step forward for the project,” said Carlo Dal Monte, Project Operations Director for the Prince Albert Pulp Inc. restart. “We look forward to the Ministry of Environment’s thorough and timely review of our EIS.” 

Paper Excellence recently commissioned public opinion polling that showed 93%of Saskatchewan residents support the restart of the pulp mill.

The Prince Albert pulp restart project remains subject to market conditions and permitting approvals. 

Paper Excellence, headquartered in British Columbia, is a diversified manufacturer of pulp and specialty, printing, writing, and packaging papers.
