State Environment Board Bases Restrictions on Pownal Paper Mill
The State Environmental Board unanimously amended three restrictions from the Bennington District Commission for a $7.2 million tissue mill on the Hoosic River in Pownal. It struck the mill’s limits on effluent quality for swimming suitability No. 2 fuel oil use and burying power lines, finding the local rules too restrictive and unenforceable. The action followed a BCIC appeal supported by Gov. Davis and agency secretary. The case continues.
