GUNNS LTD 9 June 2009
Gunns has released its draft Pulp Mill Design Report for the proposed Tasmanian pulp mill. This report has been submitted to the Director, EPA for consideration; a decision on its appropriateness with regard to the requirements of the permit is pending.
Modern pulp mills provide many opportunities in many countries to sustain communities into the future with a neutral impact on our natural environment
The release of the draft Pulp Mill Design Report this week is the culmination of the extensive work undertaken in the last 2 years by Gunns and its specialist consultants to meet the requirements of the Tasmanian Pulp Mill Permit
The report contains a detailed outline of the technology, first introduced in the Integrated Impact Statement 2006. It upgrades the environmental outcomes and confirms the mill will have a neutral impact on the environment
The pulp mill will have its own plant to produce chemicals such as sodium chlorate and gases such as oxygen, essential in the pulp making process. The production of these chemicals and gases provides outsourcing opportunities and additional employment opportunities for people in Tasmania
