Description

Proctor and Gamble Cellulose Ltd. Operates a bleached kraft pulp mill near Grande Prairie, which discharges effluent to the Wapiti River. In the late 1970’s water quality impacts and public complaints began to arise with respect to the Smoky River, into which the Wapiti drains. Since little data were available for the Smoky, a water quality study was carried out in 1983 to assess the impact of the pulp mill and to augment the data base and understanding of the Smoky River system.
