Additional Property Attributes

The approximately 215-acre site, identified by the Town of East Millinocket as Parcel Number 0001-2-00000-010, was developed as the Great Northern Paper Mill in 1907, producing paper products as one of the region's largest employers until its closure in 2014. The Town of East Millinocket acquired the former GNP Site on July 16, 2020. During its operation, the GNP mill complex comprised numerous buildings, a wood yard, a storm water retention pond, aboveground oil storage tanks, storage sheds, parking areas, a vehicle maintenance garage, several pulp storage silos, and a wastewater treatment plant. Although the site is largely vacant at this time, numerous buildings and structures associated with the former mill operations remain present. To assist in the evaluation of the former mill site, previous environmental investigations performed by others have divided the site into seven "Study Areas."

Study Area 1 (Western Mill Area), which is located in the south-central portion of the former mill site. The northern portion of Study Area 1 includes the biomass boiler building, the steam plant, the old petroleum boiler buildings, the old water treatment building, the precipitator building, the electrical maintenance area, the fire safety building, and a biomass storage building. The southern portion of Study Area 1 includes the former grinder room, which has been largely demolished.
