RUMFORD FALLS TIMES • March 10, 2025
Water tests from the release of black liquor into the air by ND Paper mill in December show no dangerous contamination, Sen. Joseph Martin of Rumford told the Board of Selectpersons on Thursday. On Dec. 10, ND Paper said its mill experienced an operational issue that resulted in black liquor, a byproduct of the papermaking process, being released into the air and into a section of town. It turned falling snow brown in areas close to the mill.
