Preserving the Fenholloway

The 2014 Florida DEP Administrative Order, that included a Finding of Facts section and the process water permit, required Foley Cellulose to begin construction of the pipeline by March 6, 2019, after completing significant improvements to the mill’s effluent treatment system. With more than $300 million in mill process improvements already made by our company, improved water quality in the river is apparent and we will continue to further efforts. The Finding of Facts section which begins on page 5 of the Administrative Order clearly demonstrates that without relocating the discharge, there were no process technology alternatives beyond the ones we have made that would meet Class III water quality standards in the river.
