Notes

4/2013: one oil boiler converting to Natural Gas "In 1964, the original Great Northern Paper Company generated two-thirds of its energy from the six hydropower dams it owned on the river. The mill eventually lost control of its dams in the years of mergers, ownership changes and financial instability that followed"
