If you are unable to make it, please stop by our open house from 5 to 7 p.m. at the same location.

Background

This walking tour takes place during a comment period for documents about this cleanup. Operations from a pulp and tissue mill caused soil and groundwater contamination. Much of the site has been cleaned up, and the rest of the chlor-alkali area will be cleaned up next. The cleanup action plan includes treating, removing, and capping contaminated soil; treating and monitoring groundwater; and restricting future activities in certain areas.
