Yesterday Orenda Forest Pro-
ducts filed a prospectus with the
provincial government's Major
Project Review committee detail-
ing plans to build a combination
pulp mill and paper plant north of
Terrace. Orenda president Hugh
Cooper said last week the final
feasibility and | environmental
Studies for the project are finished,
and with govemment approval
Orenda is ready to break ground in
the spring of next year.

Orenda first unveiled the concept
for the plant earlier this year in an
application for Pulpwood Agree-
ment 17, an offering from the
Ministry of Forests for 625,000
cubic metres of pulp timber out-

side the Prince Rupert Forest

Region’s annual allowable cut.
Orenda applied only for 100,000
cubic metres in the North Kalum
area, and the offer was withdrawn
by the government last week, but
Cooper said it made little differ-
ence to Orenda.

“We only applied for the North
Kalum pulp because it was in our
chart area," he explained. . "We
built the roads, so why should we
let somebody else come in and
take the timber?" .

Orenda’s existing forest licence in
the North Kalum which allows the
company fo cut 280,000. cubic
metres per year. During the six

ating the licence, sawlogs have
primarily been sold on the export
market and pulp has been sold on
domestic and foreign pulp markets.
Although world pulp and paper
markets are currently declining,
Cooper says the Orenda plant will’
manufacture a specialty product —

plant, including a tidewater loca-
tion in Stewart, but decided it
would be most economical to build
closer to their forest licence in an
area known as Van Dyke, a few
kilometres north of Cranberry
Junction. The project is expected
to cost about $300 million. —_

Cooper noted that the mill will
be a zero-effluent design, using a
Scandinavian process for pulping
that involves hydrogen peroxide
rather than chlorine.

Pulp offer

Pulpwood Agreement 17 has
been cancelled due to lack of

The Ministry of Forests
announced last week that it was

cubic metres of pulp timber in
the Prince Rupert Forest Region.
The offer was originally made to
