The New Indy Containerboard paper mill in Catawba, South Carolina.
South Carolina s Department of Health and Environmental Control has ordered a paper mill in Catawba, South Carolina, to take immediate steps to reduce the amount of air contaminants produced by the mill.
The development comes amid the state s ongoing investigation into the source of a foul, rotting smell that s been permeating homes in York and Lancaster counties and the surrounding area. The stench has been the subject of more than 17,135 complaints filed with South Carolina from February through May 7, 2021.
The order, issued Friday, May 7, says the New Indy Containerboard Paper Mill on Cureton Ferry Road has been producing undesirable levels of air contaminants. The facility had recently switched from making white paper to brown paper and noted in its permit application that doing so could result in an increase in hydrogen sulfide emissions.
