Subject: RPS Class I and RPS Class II Regulations
To whom it may concern
This email is in reference to the RPS Class I and RPS Class
II Regulations. I wanted to express my support & Peterson’s support for
changes to the regulations
Peterson Pacific Corp., a subsidiary of Astec Industries,
Inc., is an industry leading manufacturer of Grinders, Disc and Drum Chippers,
Flails, Screens, Stackers and Blower Trucks. Our superior innovation and
manufacturing allows us to produce superior equipment that provides high
production and low operating costs. Designed, engineered, and manufactured in
Eugene, Oregon, Peterson maintains a worldwide system of dealers and
representatives to ensure our customers get the best service possible
regardless of location Peterson employs the latest technology available to us
and our engines and powertrain are tested and audited extensively to
insure compliance with all regulations domestically and internationally.
Peterson makes every effort to be good corporate and environmental stewards by
focusing heavily on safety and environmental compliance.
We have always encouraged best practices in both site prep
& permitted land use changes by promoting responsible use of fiber in all
circumstances. Peterson has built our success on taking waste material and
processing it into a product of value. Recycling and reducing landfill waste is
a large part of what we do. In a recent sample report from the
Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filings for 2016 for industrial size grinding
& chipping equipment, approximately 75%-85% of the machinery are utilized
in non-logging practices. However, the wood-based materials our customers
process can end up being in landfills, green waste facilities & some
landscape centers. These materials are a non-forest derived fuel that,
unfortunately, are not used to their fullest potential. The UCC filings are
legal forms that a creditor files to give notice that it has an interest in the
personal or business property of a debtor and reflect approximately 50%-60%
accuracy of the equipment sold into a particular industry.
To ensure complete utilization of these materials, Peterson
supports changes to the RPS regulations to accommodate non-forest derived fuels.
