Irving Pulp and Paper Ltd. is facing 15 counts of illegal dumping into the St. John River. The company is alleged to have violated the Fisheries Act between June 2014 and August 2016 at its Reversing Falls mill in Saint John.

Matt Abbott, the Conservation Council’s Fundy Baykeeper, told CBC on Dec. 1st that, “It raises a lot of questions… Did someone know something was going on and then did it keep occurring, or was it stopped the minute it was found out about?”
