The Domtar mill in Dryden, Ont., will undertake soil sampling over the next few months, to reassure no mercury could find its way from the mill property to the Wabigoon River.
The company will do the sampling along the riverbank, after a 2018 study suggested the company do more sampling to ensure no contamination is taking place.
The Dryden mill discharged mercury into the Wabigoon River in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The effects of mercury poisoning were found in First Nations downstream of the mill, particularly at Grassy Narrows.
