The Vernonia City Council usually meets
on the first and third Monday of each month. A
regular meeting was held on February 7, 2011, after
Vernonia’s Voice had gone to press. Look for a
report from that meeting in our February 22 issue.
The next Vernonia City Council meeting will be held
on Tuesday, February 22, due to the President’s Day
holiday.

short presentation by Mill Manager
Tompkins, who explained the
history of the Wauna Mill and their
current production. According to
Tompkins, the Wauna Mill employs
approximately 950 employees
with an annual payroll of over $94
million. Wauna employees have
an average of seventeen years of
service and earn an average wage
of $20.97/hour.
Located
in
Clatsop
County, the Wauna Mill has been in
operation since 1965 and produces
nationally-branded
consumer
products like Quilted Northern and
Angel Soft bath tissue, Brawny
and Sparkle towels, Vanity Fair
and Dixie napkins and other
commercial brands.
The luncheon also included
an explanation and discussion
about the operation of the biomass
Fluidized Bed Boiler that the Wauna
Mill operates, using 70,000 dry tons
of production waste to generate
heat and energy for the plant and
surrounding utilities. This was
significant, because the Vernonia
School Project is expected to
install a biomass boiler to provide
heat for the building. The Wauna
boiler was manufactured in 1995
and put into operation in 1997.
Its use saves 1.2 billion BTU’s of
natural gas energy, annually. The
explanation of the Wauna biomass
boiler operation concluded with a
tour of the plant control room, and
the boiler and generator plant.
