This article reports that massive pollution is escaping from an abandoned paper mill in Smooth Rock Falls, ON.
Maybe it can interests someone. Av's translation tool will be useful for this one.
Des citoyens de Smooth Rock Falls s'inquiètent du démantèlement de l'ancienne usine de pâtes et papiers de Tembec. Des plaintes ont été déposées au ministère de l'Environnement concernant la présence d'amiante et de produits chimiques qui se trouvent dans l'usine.
faq // Mise à jour technique
Radio-Canada s'est rendu sur le terrain situé derrière l'usine de Tembec et y a découvert une accumulation de liquide vert, parfois rougeâtre, qui dégage une très forte odeur. Des flaques sont présentes un peu partout sur le terrain.
L'origine et la composition de ce liquide sont inconnues. Un ancien employé de l'usine, Léo-Paul Alie, affirme qu'il s'agit de liqueur verte, un produit corrosif que les employés manipulaient avec des vêtements de protection.
Sans analyse, il est impossible de déterminer si ce liquide est dommageable pour l'environnement. Les citoyens de Smooth Rock Falls demandent une étude de tout le site par des agents du ministère de l'Environnement.
Ni Tembec, ni le ministère de l'Environnement n'étaient au courant de cette situation avant d'en être informé par les appels de notre journaliste. Le représentant de Tembec affirme que des tests sont menés régulièrement pour répondre aux normes provinciales.
L'ancienne usine de pâtes et papiers de Smooth Rock Falls est fermée depuis le 31 juillet 2006. Cette fermeture, devenue définitive quelques mois plus tard, a durement touché la communauté de 1300 personnes, puisque 200 personnes travaillaient chez Tembec. En septembre 2008, Tembec a annoncé son intention de démolir plusieurs des immeubles situés sur le site.

Citizens of Smooth Rock Falls worry about the dismantling of buildings at the Tembec pulp and paper mill. Complaints were made to the ministry of Environment concerning the presence of asbestos and of chemicals in and around the mill.
A Radio-Canada (CBC) journalist visited the Tembec mill and discovered there is an accumulation of green liquid, sometimes reddish, which releases a very strong odor. Pools of it are present a little everywhere on the ground. The origin and the composition of this liquid is unknown. A former employee of the mill ,Léo-Paul Alie, affirms it is green liquor, a corrosive substance that the employees handled with protective clothing. Without analysis, it is impossible to determine if this liquid is detrimental for the environment. The citizens of Smooth Rock Falls have asked for a study of the site by the ministry of the Environment. Neither Tembec, nor the ministry of Environment were aware of the situation before in being informed by the calls of the RC (CBC) journalist. The representative of Tembec affirms that tests are carried out regularly to meet the provincial standards. The Smooth Rock Falls factory was closed since July 31, 2006. This closing, become final blow to the community of 1300 people since 200 people worked at Tembec. In September 2008, Tembec announced its intention to demolish several of the buildings located on the site.
