International Paper Riegelwood Mill: FAQ
- Where is International Paper Riegelwood Mill?
- In Columbus County, North Carolina (NC). The map on this page is placed at the coordinates EIA files for the plant, which locate the site rather than any individual unit.

- Who owns International Paper Riegelwood Mill?

- Is this the same as International Paper Riegelwood Mill LLC?
- Probably, but EIA-860M does not say. The survey records a plant name and a reporting entity — International Paper Co-Riegelwood here — not the project company that holds the asset.

This page shows only what EIA files, and does not assert a corporate structure it cannot see.
