The air quality approval for the Arauco Canada mill in St. Stephen has been renewed.
Provincial officials announced the approval of the five-year renewal on Thursday.
It will officially take effect on July 1, when the company’s current air quality approval expires.
“The approval follows a public consultation process that included a public review, which ran from Dec. 14, 2021, to April 18, 2022,” the Department of Environment and Local Government said in a news release.
Arauco Canada operates a wood composite products manufacturing mill on Old Church Street in Milltown.
The mill produces fibreboard and particleboard from hardwood chips, softwood shavings, and other sources of residual wood fibre.
