in York and Lancaster counties described the smell as “pa- per mill, rotten egg, chemical, sewage, etc.” State investi- gators began digging into those complaints in March 2021. Now, New-Indy says new requirements by the state will fix many of the concerns. Residents disagree. Dozens of lawsuits have been filed against the plant. New-Indy has released the following statement: “New-Indy Catawba is pleased to have reached an agree- ment with the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control to resolve issues of concern. New-Indy Catawba personnel have worked diligently with state regulators over the past year to develop a plan that will both benefit and protect the community surrounding the facility. The mill’s ongoing investment in cutting edge technologies has successfully kept hydrogen sulfide emis- sions negligible or zero for many months. This agreement will help ensure that future emissions continue to follow this trend.” New-Indy Containerboard is joint venture between The Kraft Group and Schwarz Partners LP. The company name was derived from being the Newest Independent manufacturer and supplier of recycled containerboard in the corrugated box industry. With nearly 2,000 employ- ees from Southern California to Carolinas, New-Indy plays an integral role in the everyday lives of people across the country with its innovative packaging solutions.
