if insects are scared of superwood how toxic is it? What is it
off-gassing? There already was a Super-wood plant made by
Georgia-Pacific in Cloquet, MN. My dad did legal work for them at one
time. I went there as a kid - probably 10 years old. Yeah we went to the
Bemidji mn plant because we got a small airplane ride also. A flying
lesson! Now it's a Superfund site! SUPERWOOD CORPORATION NUPLY DIVISION (EPA ID: MND057604563)

problems from 1954 to 1975. In 1975, the cylinder on the hot plate press
failed and could not be repaired. The federal court granted summary

to the press and lost profits.Outcome: The
Minnesota Supreme Court answered the certified questions in the
