I was just in Oroville, one of the four sites listed, and a resident told me that in the past, waste wood that had been cleared or cut down but not used was piled up in the forests, making them hard to pass through, and then burned in the winter if possible. Now the wood could be used in the generator, and tree trimmers tended to park their trucks in the generator's yard, as that's where they would bring their waste at the end of the day anyway. This person told me that in the past they'd have to pay to dispose of such waste, but now they'd get paid for it. Don't know how accurate this was. One example we discussed was a type of pine that wasn't much good for building or burning (BTU too low). ------------------------ Yahoo!
