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 2 (Eastern Mill Area) includes the Nos. 5 & 6 Finishing Room, the No. 2 Train Shed, the Paper Warehouse, the Former Drum Storage Area, and the Former Hazardous Waste Storage Area on its northern portion, and the remaining old train shed, mill offices, Nos. 1-4 Paper Machine Finishing Building, and the former Nos. 1-4 Paper Machine Building, former Nos. 5 & 6 Paper Machine Building, the former wood-stock tanks, the hydro-pulper building, old finishing room, old train shed, pulp storage building, the roll grinder and machine shop, the screen room, and a former train shed and receiving area on its southern portion.
