BERLIN — White Mountain Paper Company is asking Berlin and Gorham to support a request for federal stimulus funding to look at removing its wastewater lagoons in Cascade. Under the concept being explored, mill effluent would be treated by the Berlin and Gorham wastewater treatment plants and returned to the mill as process water.
Representing the owners of the Gorham mill, consultant Alexandra Richie said the idea is to create a closed-loop waste treatment system between Gorham, Berlin and the mill. After a presentation Monday night, the council agreed to support a joint application for funds to undertake needed engineering analysis to look at the feasibility of the concept. Both city officials and Richie acknowledged there are too many unknowns at this point for any commitment beyond agreeing to a study.
