The work week has closed with a hefty fine for the Irving Pulp and Paper mill on the west-side.
The company will pay $71,250 to the Atlantic Coastal Action Program and pay a fine of $3,750.
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.
