You seem to be stuck on the pollution bit, what part of 'the process does not create any air pollution' was not clear to you? That is why the DEC has indicated JBI only needs a simple air permit. If there was air pollution they would need far more than a simple air permit. The rest of your post is in my opinion speculation. JBI has and will continue to work closely with the DEC, they will only move forward when the DEC says they can. I'm sorry you feel the DEC will go after JBI for doing what the DEC say they can. I think you are reaching for something that isn't there. You are welcome to your opinion, I suggest you contact the DEC and explain it all to them as you don't seem to have any faith in them. I'm sure they will appreciate your expertise in correcting how they do their job.

Here's the PR regarding the stack test results, please read it and feel free to ask questions:
"JBI, Inc. Receives Emissions Statistics for Plastic2Oil Processor

THOROLD, Ontario, Sep 17, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- JBI, Inc. (the "Company") (Pink Sheets:JBII) announces the receipt of its P2O Stack Test Report performed by Conestoga-Rovers and Associates ("CRA") on the Company's Plastic2Oil ("P2O") 20 metric ton commercial processor. The stack test, which is a measure of emissions from the processor vent, was set up by CRA on August 16th and monitored by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation ("DEC"), and completed on August 17th.

The Company will file the stack test report with the DEC as part of its application to obtain a simple air permit which will allow commercial operation of the P2O processor.

The Company is pleased with these results, as they reaffirm Islechem's previous findings that the operation of the P2O processor is a clean "green" process. CRA's results indicate that the processor is emitting 14.87% oxygen to the stack, while only emitting 3.16 ppm (parts per million) of carbon monoxide, 0.81 lb/hr (86.4 ppm) of NOx, SO2 and THC were below 1 ppm, particulates tested below 0.02 lb/hr. In other words, the process puts a high percentage of oxygen back into the air while emitting very little, if any, toxic substances during the conversion of waste plastic into usable hydrocarbon fuels.

The stack test confirmed that the P2O processor emissions are below maximum emissions allowed under a NYDEC simple air permit. Because of these results, the Company believes it will not need to construct any filters, oxidizers or scrubbers for the stack, which is directly connected to the processor through a condenser to cool the air.

After the stack test, the P2O processor was shutdown to gather residue samples from within the reactor for testing. The residue was tested and found to be well below the TCLP thresholds for disposal in landfill. The residue from a P2O processor can be shipped to landfill and is not considered a hazardous waste."
