- August 2021: The site was acquired by Domtar in 1999 and has since been the source of contaminated leachate spreading into the local environment. A 2013 closure plan for the facility was found to be non-functional and ineffective during a 2019 inspection by Michipicoten First Nation. The facility is located near the Chapleau Game Preserve and has reportedly failed to provide adequate protection for local wildlife and vegetation.[1]
