Georgia Pacific Lumber Mill in Rome Set to Boost Production
Wednesday, September 16th, 2015
The Georgia-Pacific Wood Products South lumber plant on Mays Bridge Road is making plans to increase its production by more than 60 percent — although to do that, they’ll need state approval to increase its emissions.
The Georgia Environmental Protection Division’s Air Protection branch is seeking comment on the proposal, but it’s already given preliminary approval.
“They’re doing what I think every other lumber kiln in the state is doing,” said Eric Cornwell, EPD program manager for stationary source permitting.
