Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has reached two settlement agreements with the current and past owners of a paper mill in White Pigeon, Michigan. The Attorney General filed a lawsuit against St. Joseph County paper companies Ox Paperboard WP, LLC and White Pigeon Mills, LLC (collectively Ox Paperboard) in October 2024 following repeated violations of environmental laws. Additionally, Ox Paperboard will pay $95,200.00 in civil penalties to address its past violations and will pay EGLE’s past costs and attorney fees. That settlement included a nearly $1.2 million payment, with almost all of that amount dedicated to the cleanup of contamination at the White Pigeon site.
