A study of the former Lincoln Paper and Tissue Mill and surrounding property pegs the cost of removing asbestos at the closed mill at $12.4 million.
The Bangor Daily News reported that Sevee & Maher Engineers Inc. of Cumberland, which was hired by the state to do the study, said an additional 30% should be budgeted for contingencies and undiscovered issues, plus for the design of the asbestos removal process. That would bring total cleanup costs up to $16 million.
The mill, which manufactured commodity and specialty tissue products for customers in the United States and internationally, went out of business last December.
“We are looking to find out where can we find resources to help us with cleanup and that we have to look at money, all the different players involved, and [craft a strategy],” Susanne Miller, regional director of Maine Department of Environmental Protection’s eastern Maine regional office, told the BDN.
Last April, a restart effort by a group of mill workers was abandoned after critical equipment was sold at auction, the BDN said at the time.
