Notes
Anticipated to close on 4/1/2012.
With encouragement by the PA Department of Environmental Protection, they tried to burn tires for fuel twice in the 1990s and were defeated. The second time, they also tried to burn plastics. Their PA DEP permits have allowed them to take wood contaminated with chlorine-containing plastics (PVC), which they did for a time when they accepted wood with vinyl laminate from Milford Enterprises in Quakertown, PA - plastic that couldn't easily be separated. They now claim to only burn sustainably harvested clean wood.
