4 TOXIC REDUCTION PLAN OVERVIEW Statement of Intent Resolute FP Canada Inc, Thunder Bay Operations, is committed to playing a leadership role in protecting the environment. Whenever technically and economically feasible, Resolute Thunder Bay is committed to reduce the use and/or creation of toxic substances identified in this Toxic Substance Reduction Plan (TSRP) Summary in compliance with all Federal and Provincial Regulations. This plan summary accurately reflects the content of the TSRP for Toluene, Benzene and Alpha - Pinene Objectives of Plan The Thunder Bay Operation is committed to reviewing the use, creation and options for reduction of all toxic substances identified in this TSRP; consequently, this plan will determine the technical and economic feasibility of each option to determine which, if any, are viable for implementation at this time. Plan Overview Information specific to each toxic substance is found in the following appendices: Appendix A Toluene, Benzene and Alpha Pinene Information for each toxic substance includes: Descriptions of processes that use or create the toxic substance Annual costs associated with the toxic substance Reduction Options and associated reduction estimates Technical and Economic Feasibility of each option List of options to be implemented Toxic Substance Accounting Information Toxic Substance Accounting information, including records of methods used to track and quantify, quantifications and input and output analysis of all toxic substances identified in this TSRP can be found in the facilities toxic substance accounting file.

6 Description of Processes That Use or Create Speciated VOCs Speciated VOCs are primarily generated during the combustion process to create steam and electricity for the kraft and newsprint process or during the chemical recovery process in the kraft mill. Speciated VOCs include: VOC Toluene VOC - Benzene VOC Alpha-Pinene The facility uses woody biomass, spent pulping liquor and a small amount of natural gas in one of 4 boilers at the facility to generate high pressure steam which is used to create electricity and residual heat for production purposes. The fuels are combusted using advanced process controls, creating the criteria air contaminants. All emissions from the equipment are treated in highly efficient state of the art pollution control equipment. Additional criteria air contaminants are created in the recaustizing process. During the recaust process lime is regenerated through caustizing. Toluene, benzene and alpha-pinene are created in the lime kiln which uses natural gas as fuel. All emissions from the recaust process are treated with state of the art pollution control equipment. Options to be Implemented The Thunder Bay Operation is committed to minimizing the creation of toluene, benzene and alpha-pinene from the manufacturing process. However, based on the facility s review, there are no technically or economically feasible options identified for the reduction of the creation of toluene, benzene and alpha-pinene.
