W29: The Mill has decreased the amount of loading to its wastewater treatment system by raising awareness and capital projects. This will reduce the amount of wastewater treatment plant residuals. W58: Dioxins are present in our wastewater treatment system. The Mill recently increased its wastewater treatment system's retention time in its ponds by dredging. |

W58: In February of 2015, the Mill began burning the wastewater treatment plant residuals in its boiler rather than applying to its landfill. This will result in a reduction of this pollutant. Other Environmental Practices: Waste Treatment - The Mill has decreased the amount of loading to its wastewater treatment system by raising awareness and capital projects. This will reduce the amount of wastewater treatment plant residuals. |

The Waste Management Hierarchy |
The waste management hierarchy established by the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) guides waste generators toward the best options for managing wastes.
The preferred option is to prevent pollution at its source, but for waste that is generated, the preferred management methods are recycling, followed
by burning for energy recovery, treatment and, as a last resort, disposing of the waste.
