BILL · 2009–10 SESSION
SB 5182: Sawmills using forest waste
Requiring offset credits in air operating permits for sawmills using forest waste products as feedstock in cogeneration facilities.
Summary
- Air quality permitting authorities must grant an offset credit in an air operating permit to a sawmill using forest waste products as biomass fuel in a cogeneration facility producing electrical energy. The credit will reflect the emissions benefit that occurs because the forest waste products will not be disposed of by open field or forest land burning.
