Aug. 6, 2010 - Appleton said that its paper mill in West Carrollton, Ohio has returned to full production following repair work and the installation of temporary boilers to address damage caused by the collapse of some internal structures of a coal silo at the mill.

The incident occurred on July 10 and caused no injuries, Appleton said.

Portions of the mill returned to production on July 12 and continued to operate while repairs were underway, the company added.
