Domtar updates regulation requirements

Domtar is making the public aware that it uses one of some 260 specific hazardous substances in its manufacturing process in Espanola.

Company spokesperson, Bonnie Skene says the federal E2 regulation was recently updated and now requires any operation using or storing specific hazardous substances to proactively inform the public about possible risks.

She explains this includes chlorine dioxide, a chemical produced and stored at Domtar for use in the pulp-making process.

Skene emphasizes the Espanola pulp and paper mill has safely managed chlorine dioxide for decades and they are working diligently to stay that way.
She adds if there was ever a leak, which is unlikely, the public will be notified by the Town of Espanola emergency services, working closely with Domtar and given instructions-such as stay inside with the windows closed.

She says the notification is part of the requirements the federal government requires and to ensure the public is kept up-to-date in regards to operations.
