Irving Pulp and Paper has its day in court

Irving Pulp & Paper will pay $71,250 to the Atlantic Coastal Action Program and pay a fine of $3,750 under a court order handed down yesterday in provincial court.

This after the mill released green liquor (a by-product of the chemical recovery process) into the Saint John River on October 31 of 2007 during the start-up of a new lime kiln.

The company says human error is the reason for the incident.
