DAAQUAM MAINE COSTIGAN STUD MILL is a pulp and paper facility located at 41 Champion Road in Milford, Penobscot County, Maine, United States. The plant is operational and falls under the pulp and paper sector, a key industrial segment in the region. As a pulp and paper mill, the facility is subject to comprehensive US EPA regulations including the Clean Air Act (CAA), Clean Water Act (CWA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Section 313 reporting. The NAICS code 321113 indicates sawmill and wood preservation activities, suggesting the plant processes raw timber into lumber or wood products, which involves significant energy and water use. The facility's location in Maine places it within a historically important forestry and paper-producing region. Its operational status and scale contribute to local employment and the regional economy, while its environmental footprint is managed through federal and state permits. The plant's proximity to the Penobscot River may influence its water discharge and intake practices.

The facility operates in Maine's Penobscot County, a region with extensive forest resources and a long history of pulp and paper production. The local environment includes the Penobscot River watershed, which supports diverse aquatic life and is subject to water quality standards under the Clean Water Act. Pulp and paper mills can generate air emissions (e.g., particulate matter, volatile organic compounds) and wastewater containing organic pollutants, requiring treatment and monitoring. Community proximity to industrial operations may raise concerns about odor, noise, and potential health impacts, though regulatory oversight aims to mitigate these risks.
