Abitibi-Consolidated announced that it is shutting
down its groundwood paper mill in Trois Rivieres, Que., for between 5-10 days due
to problems with its wastewater treatment equipment. The announcement was made earlier

The mill produces telephone directory paper,
among other types of paper at the site.
