The Halsey Oregon pulp mill is a modern highly efficient facility utilizing advanced pollution control devices and systems to prevent and minimize environmental effects.

We conduct thousands of tests annually to ensure our complete compliance with all of our discharge permit levels. Our on-site highly trained technicians use state of the art testing equipment and advanced scientific methods in our modern laboratory.

We collaborate with industry research organizations to ensure we maintain peak environmental performance and integrate continuous improvement opportunities into our environmental controls.

We have invested heavily in environmental controls and process modifications to improve our environmental performance. These investments include $30 million for oxygen delignification in 1993, $35 million for bleaching modifications in 2000, and $1.5 million for hazardous air pollutant control systems in 2006. We continue to research other opportunities to improve our environmental performance.

Our environmental performance is outstanding, and we continue to cooperate and collaborate with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. If you have questions or concerns about our environmental performance please click here.
