The B.C. government has hit a Kootenay pulp and paper mill with a third wave of environmental penalties this year following a series of permit violations. In an October 15 decision released to the public this week, director of the Environmental Management Act Jennifer Mayberry penalized Domtar’s Skookumchuck mill a combined $62,950 for failing to comply with air pollution limits, monitor the release of contaminants and maintain critical equipment. “Skookumchuck was aware of the requirements and had some degree of control,” she wrote. …In the province’s latest decision, Mayberry noted the ministry had issued the mill seven warnings in the past five years, and eight penalties over the past decade. …Domtar has an opportunity to appeal within 30 days of the decision.
