Fibre Recovery/Incremental Haul – Adams Lake

Project Number: #FR0000428

This project facilitated the recovery and utilization of residual fibre. This fibre was otherwise uneconomic to transport from logged areas and would have been left on site and burned. This funding facilitated the transportation of the fibre to the Domtar Pulp Mill in Kamloops and contributed to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions as on-site burning releases carbon and methane into the atmosphere. The residual fibre was obtained through business to business agreements with other forest companies and in most cases was concurrently delivered to River City. River City is a facility operated by Arrow which is adjacent to Domtar's pulp mill in Kamloops. Wood was chipped for use in the Domtar mill.
