ROTTNEROS TO APPEAL ENVIRONMENTAL RULING IN VALLVIK

2007-03-20, 08:42
 - Non regulatory

Rottneros’ motive for appealing the ruling is that biopurification would not result in environmental improvement. Continuous measurements show that Ljusnefjärden, a bay in the southern part of the Gulf of Bothnia that receives waste water from Vallvik Mill, is in very good condition and has not to any appreciable extent been affected by the discharge.

As an alternative to biopurification, Vallvik Mill has invested heavily in recent years in measures to improve internal processes, with good results.
