New Facilities to Join NH Wood Ash Progarm

September 18, 2013 By Eryka Reid

Shelagh Connelly, RMI President, has been actively involved with the NH DES Waste Management Division’s efforts to update regulations governing the state’s wood ash beneficial use program.

Wood ash generated by biomass facilities using only clean wood for fuel has long been a source of potassium for farmers throughout New England. With the changes in the economy and pricing structure for purchasing electricity, several institutions have turned to wood fuel to meet all or part of their internal needs. Predominant among this group are schools and hospitals—organizations with significant infrastructure and the ability to manage a wood fired boiler on-site.

While the benefits to these facilities are large enough to warrant the investment, the current program does not provide a management structure for the relatively small quantities of wood ash that will be generated. A focus on the revisions to Env-Wm 1700 is to enable small quantity generators to have confidence in the quality of the ash produced and to participate in the existing beneficial use program.

Rulemaking is ongoing and is anticipated to be completed early in 2014.

Holderness Fire Chief,

IMPROVING EFFICIENCIES – RMI’S EARLY DELIVERY PROGRAM

August 28, 2011 By Eryka Reid

August 28, 2011 was a memorable day for many in New England as Tropical Storm Irene passed through causing widespread flooding damage. Long after the storm passed, the significant rainfall, over 10” in some areas, left fields inaccessible for many farmers. Although efficiency suffered from weather-related delays, RMI worked closely with its customers making every effort to ensure biosolids deliveries were made for fall land application—if conditions made delivery impossible, farmers didn’t receive the nitrogen they needed for their crops.

To circumvent weather-related delays in 2012, which has already seen a higher-than-average number of hurricanes, RMI has worked with several of its Class B biosolids farm customers and developed an early delivery program that ensures each farmer will receive the nutrients they need for their crops while access is optimal. RMI’s customers traded a nominal amount of field space for stockpiles in exchange for the certainty that the fertilizer they need for a successful crop yield will be available. RMI intends to continue and expand its early delivery program for Class B biosolids customers into the future.
