Chemicals have congealed at Marathon Pulp

The clean-up at Marathon Pulp in Ontario will now have to wait until the spring.

1.4 million litres have been trucked to AbitibiBowater's mill in Fort Frances, and to the Clean Harbour Hazardous Waste facility in Sarnia.

However, 270,000 litres of chemicals that were scheduled to be transfered next week, have congealed because of the cold weather. They will not be able to be transported until the spring.

Chemical effluent is still being pumped from a pipeline and into trucks to be dumped into a nearby spill basin. The process is expected to take another 2 weeks.
