What?

No incinerator thread over here? Did I miss it? I went back 6 pages... Nobody got any opinions about it, or is Pinecam filling that spot with their level of snarkiness and rudeness about it?

I'm baffled!

I looked for one also. Surprised about a lot of local issues not being discussed.

As for the incinerator, I don't live near the proposed site, but am very concerned for everyone in the area. While there aren't any stats for fires associated with it, just knowing that embers can escape and cause a fire should be a concern, especially with Staunton Park and Black Mountain so very close. That looks like a disaster in the making.

Can't imagine Elk Creek Fire District being in favor of it being near one of the biggest potential disasters - KV, Conifer Mtn and Black Mtn, per their concerns about the fire danger in those areas.

I know nothing about it and it sounds close to me....info please.

And the smog? Supposedly no worse than chimney start ups. But the incinerator has a lot more fuel to burn.

No offense to TJ Wood Products in Bailey but their smoke makes it hard sometimes to distinguish from an uncontrolled smoke. They have always been very good though when a friend calls them to ask if they are burning that day.

Good topic LH, glad to see you back!

I don't know much about it, but wouldn't it be better to use chippers instead of burning? WTF?

And there is a need for a good slash collecting site somewhere along 285, away from residential areas. Why not just grind it up and throw dirt on top? In 100 million years it will turn into Oil!

Ok, I am confused. Didn't they just turn down the slash site at Shaffer's crossing? Is this a different one? Is this for public slash? Have they ever heard of chipping and composting? $98,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! holy F*&k!!!

Don't really want to get into this.....I'm not sure how I feel about the issue. But what I do know is I do NOT want a chipper/composting site up here......It seems to me that chipping and/or composting of slash that contains beetles only spreads the infestation. Unless someone wants to stand by the chipper and inspect everything that is brought in.....same with the spruce beetle, all chipping should be done on-site. Maybe I'm wrong in this concern.....does anyone else have info on this aspect? At least burning gets rid of whatever might be riding along on the slash.

Slash Site on Pleasant Park and Incinerator at Shaffer's Crossing are two completely different proposals.
