After speaking with the Olympia Regional Clean Air Agency (ORCAA), here is what I understand the process will be.
o ORCAA received ADAGE application on April 1, 2010
o ORCAA will review the application and submitted data. That will take about 30 to 45 days. At the end of this period ORCAA will provide their findings.
o Public notice of the application will be advertised in the Olympian and Shelton Mason County Journal.
o The public will have a 30 day comment period to view the application and the data.
o After the 30 day period a public hearing will be held. The public will be able to submit comments on the application and ORCAA findings. Look for this to happen around the end of June or first of July 2010.
o After the public hearing is held and ORCAA has made a decision, the public can then appeal the findings.
I hope this helps with understanding what is happening regarding concerns of air degradation and the possible construction of the ADAGE facility.
I've heard that this facility will burn one ton of woody bio mass per minute. If this is true then we want strong verifiable proof that our air is not going to be polluted.

There is no way that our air is not going to be polluted.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing the "proof" that our air will not be polluted as it doesn't exist with current technology.
The ORCAA process is streamlined and simple compared to the county's. The approval process within the county is fragmented with DCD Planning, DCD Building Permitting, Public Works, and Public Health all have a piece of the approval. This will be really tough to keep on top of.
