Pownal Paper Mill to Open Under New Environment Law
First environment law hearing in Bennington Windham district reviewed the proposed Spruce Paper plant at Route 346 North Pownal. Henry J. Troline testified the 600 by 100 foot facility would employ 100 to 120 people, produce tissue products, and use a primarily mechanical process with treated effluent returning water to the Hoosic River. Eric R. Smith of Alvin H. Jones Co. said river water use would be 1 percent of a second and no adverse river flow would result, with plant size expected to stay constant for two years. The hearing concluded as a success per Robert Babcock.
