Reed project benefit for peOple report TORONTO CP An envi ronmental assessment report prepared for Reed Paper Ltd on its proposed forest products de velopment in northwestern On tario says the project would have substantial economic benefits for the people of the area with relatively minor im pact on the environment The $400000 report prepared by Acres Consulting Service Ltd Toronto was released to the government Monday and discussed at company news conferences at Toronto and Red Lake Ont The report recommends that the pulp mill and saw mill de velopment costing $400 million be situated on the Wensaga River about four miles north east of the community of Ear Falls 75 miles northeast of Ke nora and 40 miles southeast of Red Lake The report fulfils com mitment made by Reed in memorandum of

proposed development of the al most 19000 square miles of land Billingsley president and chief executive officer of Reed said at the Toronto con ference he is enthusiastic about the report which he called major step but only the first in the development He praised the appointment of Mr Justice Hartt saying it would assure thorough public hearing under an impartial chairman The hearing is scheduled to begin in the latter half of next year Atkinson manager of the engineering and environ mental division of Acres said the study proved the project would be environmentally fea sible He said eff luence discharged into the river would make the water somewhat more brown than it is now but added he would make tea from the wa ter and eat the fish from the river after the mill is built Mr Billingsley said his com pany would make every effort to hire native people in any new project There are three Indian reserves in the area Iikangi kum Cat Lake and Os naburghwith total popu lation of
