Primary Wood Processing Plants in Québec

Québec's list of active factories with permits for consuming over 2000 cubic meters of unprocessed woody material. The dataset includes pulp and paper mills exempt from wood processing permits. File formats include HTML, GEOJSON, SHP, CSV, XLS, KML, and PDF.

Use Cases

• Map plant locations and permit status using the GEOJSON or SHP spatial data formats.
• Analyze the inclusion of pulp and paper mills (category 8) exempt from wood processing permits.
• Identify facilities based on their consumption threshold of over 2000 cubic meters of roundwood, shavings, or sawdust.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple formats including spatial files (GEOJSON, SHP, KML) for mapping.
• Includes a specific consumption threshold defining inclusion: over 2000 cubic meters of unworked woody material.
• Explicitly covers pulp and paper mills exempt from standard wood processing permits.

Limitations

• No row count, column names, or sample data are provided to assess dataset scale and structure.
• The description is machine-translated, which may introduce ambiguity in data categorization.
