Response teams are working with local, state and federal agencies to provide information for those impacted.  The incident released a mixture of wood fiber, water and pulping liquor into the surrounding community.  IP has engaged contractors to develop and implement plans to clean up and dispose of the discharged material as quickly as possible.  They are providing necessary support and resources to our local community and residents as we work through the clean-up.

The primary focus is on ensuring the health and safety of employees, contractors and neighbors and on the clean-up of the affected areas and property. 

Currently, the mill is not operating.  IP is assessing the extent of the damage to the mill, evaluating supply options and will be working closely with customers to meet their needs.
