The shutdown came on Tuesday when staff discovered the mill exceeded its biochemical oxygen demand limits. It is a problem company officials said at the time was probably caused by cold weather.

Company spokesperson Jean Philippe Cote said they now believe they have found a solution that will allow them to resume production.

The mill employs about 560 workers.
