Subject:                                     Comment opposing the proposed rule changes to 2012 RPS bioenergy rules

 

I am writing to request that DOER’s proposed changes to the 2012 RPS bioenergy rules be withdrawn.  Burning wood releases stored CO2, and it contributes to air pollution.  The existing rules assure that there is at least a minimum level of efficiency required when wood is burned, and that particulate matter and other emissions are at least somewhat controlled.  I would like to see the existing rules strengthened to require higher efficiency and less emissions.  Please do not approve DOER’s proposed changes to the 2012 RPS bioenergy rules.

 

Thank you,

Gary Martin
