Clean Up Completed At Middle Falls Paper Mill

Clean Up Completed At Middle Falls Paper Mill
A clean up at a former paper mill in Middle Falls has been completed by the Environmental Protection Agency this week. The former Stevens and Thompson Paper Company in Middle Falls contained asbestos insulation as well as other types of chemical waste and debris.
The Environmental Protection Agency worked to clear gallons of chemical waste as well as the asbestos insulation as part of the clean up. The local and state government asked agency officials to start a clean up at the site last September, and work commenced immediately. The work was completed earlier this week.
Liquid and solid chemicals were returned to suppliers, recycled, or disposed of as part of the clean up. The regional administrator for the EPA stated that immediate action was taken upon request to deal with the clean up at the abandoned site.
It is estimated that the total cost of the clean up at the paper mill came to almost three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The paper company had been in operation since the late 1800s and ceased trading in 2001.
