Minutes - Regular Meeting <br /> Solid Waste Advisory Board <br /> June 5 , 2008 <br /> Approved August 7, 2008 <br /> Watts states that they can. How much time should they allow for the presentation at <br /> your next meeting? This will be the only opportunity for you all to really ask <br /> questions . There will be a lot of information at your August 7 meeting so you will <br /> want to set aside some time for that. <br /> Norwood states that considering what I ' ve been able to grasp thus far I don' t see me <br /> having much to say because I don ' t have enough of an idea of what you are talking <br /> about. <br /> Bowerman states that if we got more information sooner we might know more . Are <br /> there some web sites where we can go to learn more about these technologies ? <br /> Watts states that I would suggest that you set aside an hour to an-hour - and- a-half for <br /> the presentation. <br /> Pollock suggests a review of the NAWTEC web page where their last conference also <br /> covered pyrolysis and bioconversion . <br /> Watts reiterates waste to energy ( direct combustion) where there are 20-30 plants in <br /> the US . Plasma arc technology is the current buzz technology, there is a project in <br /> Florida and GBB is working on that. Pyrolysis or gasification is another and biological <br /> fuel production is the fourth one . The presentation will be geared to give you an <br /> understanding of the technologies so you will have a good opportunity to discuss it. <br /> There may be a preliminary meeting of staff, consultants, and board chair prior to the <br /> SWAB meeting . <br /> Other None <br /> 7 . Other Business - None <br /> Bowerman moves to adjourn . <br /> Adjourn : 9 : 10pm <br /> Next meeting August 7, 2008 <br /> Government Services Center, Hillsborough <br /> 12 <br />
