"Wood WASTE"? Wouldn't that require an EIS then, for the Adage SEPA permit?! It seems that the only ones NOT calling it "WASTE" is the Adage legal team.
ReplyDeleteWould this be the very SAME wood WASTE that the ADAGE & Simpson incinerators would burn???
ReplyDeleteThere is not enough "slash" (wood waste?) to keep Adage operating for more than 9-1/2 days; what is this wood waste that we have in sufficient quantity to start making and selling jet fuel????
