Brungy, I'm confused on why LLEG would need to conduct and pay for an independent study on the wood supply. Haven't they already done a 3rd party independent study as apart of their application to the NHSEC (conducted by Landvest)?

Why would this independent study be unacceptable? Is it fraudulent or missing certain data/criteria required for the NHSEC application? If it was missing criteria, I would think the SEC would have rejected the application for being incomplete? I could be wrong, but I believe the study will stand as is, unless a second 3rd party study contradicts it.

It appears that Clean Power has a study as TAP mentioned, but they may be taking into account different distances from the plant for the wood basket. (I.E. 30 miles compared to 120 miles is quite a difference as BigBucksFI mentioned) Here in Wisconsin, where I live, they ship 'tree trunks' hundreds of miles by train and it doesn't appear to be a problem.

Anyhow, you could be right, but I would think it would be NH who would need to order & pay for a study if they felt the Landvest study was inaccurate. Maybe they would charge this to LLEG, I don't know? Seems odd to me that LLEG would have a 3rd party conduct a wood basket study as part of the SEC application, and then require them to have another 3rd party conduct a second study - just to be safe.

In my opinion the state will issue the permit,no state in the union will reject a permit when it will bring 200-300 jobs and potential revenue into the state coffers. This is clean renewable energy,what could be better.

If Laidlaw pays for the wood study it is NOT independent. All NH tax payers need to pay for it.
