Tembec continues demolition

TEMISCAMING, Que. — Demolition of the former Marathon, Ont., Tembec mill continues and is expected to be complete in the fall of 2016, the Thunder Bay Chronicle-Journal reports. Ontario’s ministry of the environment cleared the project, originally due by the end of this year, for an extension but turned down Tembec’s request to leave an evaporator building standing until 2017 while it sought a buyer. Tembec attempted to abandon the mill after its 2009 bankruptcy, but was ordered to retain control while environmental hazards were eliminated.
