Regarding Palmer Paving's proposed biomass plant.....just found out that the DEP issues a draft permit FIRST and THEN has an Air Quality hearing...still trying to find out the date of that hearing. The fellow I did speak to, expressing concern about the CO2 levels the plant will emit (seeing as we banned incinerator burning nearly twenty years ago) said it's a societal issue, a trade-off for our need for electricity...and I was glad to be able to counter the the combined five plants will only provide one percent of Massachusett's needs!
