EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
To brief the Board on various company activities, that may include, but are not limited to:
1. Communications with customers.
2. The Company is considering an investment into a Bio-gasification plant for CFL, which would use woody organics as a fuel to create electricity and biochar. If financially feasible ($7 million), the plant would support Climate Action plan goals, SB 1383 purchasing requirements, and would be an efficient way to dispose of woody debris. Barriers include permits, financing, and guaranteeing adequate feedstock to "feed" the plant.
3. Other happenings of interest to the Board.
4. Update on recycling markets and relevant legislation.
No Board action is anticipated.
