We are trying to work with the Forest Service and get the forest cleaned up, but we have enough fiber to run the plant,” he told the court. In order to maintain consistency, no industrial waste will be used, Bitton said. Apparently, PES has signed a one-year option to buy the plant from the Port for $1 million.

The turbine was completely rebuilt. The control system and electrical were upgrad- ed and the complete plant was started up and put into operation.
