Mill plan: forges.

TERRACE — A forest com-
pany which now exports logs
will submit an application in the
next few weeks to build a pulp
mill at Stewart.

Orenda Forest Products,
once called Asitka Resources,
wants to construct a $144
million pulp mill producing
105,000 tonnes of pulp a year at
Stewart.

Plans also include the con-
struction of a fine paper mill br-
inging total project cost to ap-
proximately $300 million, said
Orenda’s president, Hugh
Cooper last week.

Orenda announced earlier
this year it wanted to build the
mill when it applied for a
pulpwood guarantee but its con-
struction application now
begins a major governmental
environmental and economic
review and analysis.

Although that fibre guarantee

ment 17°has now. been cancell-
ed; Cooper says it won't affect
Orenda’ Ss plans.

“We'd like to start construc-

tion inthe spring. That’s the

target. It (Pulpwood Agreement
17) doesn’t affect our plans,”
said Cooper in adding the com-
pany has sufficient existing
fibre supplies-of its own and
through purchases. ;

Cooper had earlier said the
pulpwood guarantee was need-
ed io demonstrate security of
supply as a way of obtaining
financing but now says that
isn’t necessary.

Orenda will finance the pro-
ject through a joint venture with
an Asian company but those
details haven't been announced.

‘“‘We want to wait until. the
approval process is finished,”
said Cooper.

had not invested a great deai of .

money in its expansion plans
because it had first wanted to
secure a fibre supply under the
pulpwood agreement.

Skeena Cellulose was con-
sidered the lead applicant in the
Pulpwood Agreement I7 pro-
cess. [t asked for the wood more
than a year before the province
announced the start of the ap-
plication process and had also
applied for pulp fibre west of
Williams Lake as part of its
Port Edward expansion plans.

The company was not suc-
cessful in the latter bid but of-

ficiats said they remained confi- .

dent the expansion could go
ahead with existing supplies and
guarantees under the pulpwood
agreement.

Skeena Cellulose’s plans call- ”

ed for a third pulp line at Port
Edward requiring two million
cubic metres of pulp a year to
increase production capacicy to
820,000 metric tonnes a year.

Pulpwood Agreement t7 was
first advertised early this year.
Planned public hearings into the
applications had been scheduled
for this spring but were
postponed when the govern-
ment said it wanted more infor-
mation,

“t's a matter of security and
to protect your investment,””
Cooper added,

He said discussions this fall
revolved around. the. idea that
no one company would
unilaterally withdraw’.but that
all would if all agreed to do so.

Although Orenda. had also
wanted the guarantee to obtain
security for financing, Cooper
said it could get’the money

The pulp process won't use
chips but -will use whole logs
now left behind as residue, add-
ed Cooper. It’s also more effi-
cient because it requires less
fibre than others to praduce
pulp.

Orenda was one of three com-
panies to receive cutting licences
in the area around Stewart in
the 1980s. ,

The companies had said they
would build procesding

were not required by law, but
instead received permission to
export their cut.
