Cement kilns could be another consumer but there are no such <br />facilities within 50 miles of Orange County. <br />Using databases generated by the U.S. Energy Information Administration11 and the North Carolina <br />Department of Environmental Quality12. the potential off -take customers within approximately 50 miles <br />to Orange County were identified. There are three power production facilities in the area and zero cement <br />kilns, as shown in Table 2. The three plants process coal, tire derived fuel, and biomass to generate power <br />as electricity and /or steam. <br />Table 2 - Potential RDF Off -take Customers <br />Name <br />Operator <br />Fuel <br />Tons Per Year Fuel <br />Product <br />Mayo <br />Duke Energy <br />Coal <br />31592,716 <br />Power <br />Progress - (NC) <br />Capital Power USA <br />CPI USA NC <br />Coal /Tire /Wood <br />670,670 <br />Power <br />NC Roxboro <br />Roxboro U-C <br />Roxboro <br />Duke Energy <br />Coal <br />51306,503 <br />Power <br />Progress - (NC) <br />University of NC <br />University of North <br />Coal <br />87,437 <br />Power, Steam,, <br />Chapel Hill Cogen <br />Carolina <br />Chilled Water <br />Facility <br />The location of these facilities relative to Orange County is provided in Figure 2. <br />Duke Energy is the local investor owned electrical utility ( "IOU ").

Any capital investment required to burn SRF would likely require PSC <br />approval which could be time intensive and costly.
