OUCH!!! 2002 third party info on Barrow Facility.

Six years ago the North Slope Borough of Alaska submitted an air permit application to build a 30 ton
per day starved-air gasification system for solid waste in Barrow. We have obtained documents from
the State of Alaska which reveal that Global Waste International’s solid waste gasification facility in
Barrow continues to have problems and that the plant is still not functioning. State records show that
repairs of control systems continue to plague the gasification system.
Operating Reports submitted to the state of Alaska show that during the second quarter of 2002 the
incinerator operated for only 10 days. During this time it burned a total of 62 tons of waste, just 2% of
its permitted capacity. Monthly operation logs for April, May, and June reveal intermittent operation
over the entire quarter. Table A contains information from the most recent Quarterly Operational
Report for the Barrow Thermal Oxidation System, Permit No. 9771-AC012, submitted to ADEC on
July 29, 2002.
