SFPC TRANSFERS OWNERSHIP OF BIOREACTOR TO THE CITY OF PRINCE ALBERT

Released on November 23, 1998

Eldon Lautermilch, Chairperson for the Saskatchewan Forest Products

Corporation (SFPC), joined with Mayor Don Cody of Prince Albert today

to announce the transfer of the SFPC Bioreactor and its 15th Street

East Property to the City of Prince Albert. The City will assume the

operating costs of the bioreactor as well as responsibility for

treating contaminated soil at the bioreactor site.



"This transaction demonstrates the positive working relationship the

Provincial government has with the City of Prince Albert," Lautermilch

said. "SFPC and the City will benefit because the property will soon

be cleaned up and the City will be able to use the bioreactor at its

sewage treatment plant for years to come."



The bioreactor was constructed in 1994 by SFPC to treat creosote

contaminated soil removed from SFPC's wood treatment site located in

Prince Albert on 15th Street East. The City will finish treating the

remaining contaminated soil from the 15th Street property and clean up

the bioreactor site, then use the bioreactor to compost sewage sludge

from its new secondary sewage treatment plant which will be operating

by 1999.



"This is a good example of how two levels of government can work

in partnership to use resources efficiently," Cody said. "SFPC

will save money by turning over its clean-up obligations to us,

and we will save money on an important piece of equipment for our

sewage treatment plant. It makes sense from both sides."



Lautermilch added that there could be other broader economic

benefits of the transaction. The remediated property at the

bioreactor site is expected to be used for industrial purposes.

As well, the bioreactor could be used to compost other materials

in the city.
