After the first natural gas boiler started up in late 2015, the mill's emissions of sulfur dioxide dropped by nearly 80 percent and nitrous oxide dropped by 67 percent compared to 2013 levels. Over the next two years, GP also is scheduled to spend more than $14 million to take down and remove coal-handling systems, coal boilers and other obsolete equipment and buildings. The most visible change was the 2019 removal of one of the mill's two 400-foot-tall stacks, which has changed the silhouette of the property. The second stack is scheduled to be removed this year.
