In 1988 when KC owned the Coosa Pines Plant, It was primarily a mill that made virgin newsprint (a groundwood sheet) and a small amount of pulp for sale.

They made newsprint from pine trees.

Now the Coosa Pines Mill is owned by Bowater and is a recycled newsprint mill and a pulp mill.

The old holding ponds were settlement ponds. They contained water with effluents from the bleaching process. Bowater does very little of this type of bleaching. They mostly do deinking. The recycled process does not require the same polution controls that the virgin process required.

On a good day the mill produces greater tonage than it use to in 88.
There are fewer employees because they no longer have or need a woodyard and because Bowater has emasculated the unions.
