- Distance from U.S./Canada border:
-
60 miles and 96 km.
- Type and size of Facility:
-
Major source modification of sulfite process pulp and paper mill.
Physical changes include rebuilding Great Northern Paper's (GNP's)
#11 paper machine for greater speed and heavier basis weight "supercalendar"
paper; replacing a roll wrapping line with one to take a larger roll;
improving drainage on #7 and #8 paper machines for 6% greater speed;
and increasing pulp bleaching capacity from 278 to 380 ADT/Day.
- Source of Emissions:

-
Because emission increases would not occur at new/modified units,
no new emission controls or other restrictions will apply to the plant.

a complete permit application, but Region 1 received a draft permit
from Maine on 6/28/2000.
