Response to Infrastructure Requirements <br /> ✓ ELECTRICITY NEEDS FROM INTERNAL AND/OR EXTERNAL SOURCES (FOR THIS TYPE <br /> OF FACILITY) <br /> Florida Power and Light currently provides power to the site and has existing power lines that can accommodate <br /> additional rapacity. <br /> ✓ BIOMASS FEEDSTOCKS - UP TO 100, 000 DRY TONS/YEAR (14 TONS/H) OF <br /> CELLULOSIC BIOMASS (TO PRODUCE UP TO 10 MILLION GALLONS OF FUEL ETHANOL <br /> AND CO-PRODUCTS ANNUALLY), AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, 24 HOURS PER <br /> DAY, 7 DAYS PER WEEK. <br /> The county landfill currently processes 40,000 to 80 ,000 tons per year of wood waste and forest waste, which is <br /> readily available for use. Because this wood and forest waste is presently stored and processed adjacent to the <br /> proposed ethanol plant site, there will be no transportation costs associated with providing biomass to the plant. <br /> Besides the wood and forest waste, citrus pulp and other citrus byproducts are potential sources of additional <br /> biomass on a more immediate basis. Through the cooperation of the Indian River Citrus league and area <br /> property owners, additional agricultural land can be made available to grow various types of traditional and <br /> nontraditional agriculture products. <br /> ✓ A BOILER TO ACCEPT FIBROUS WASTE AS A FUEL SOURCE. <br /> The proposed site has the characteristics to accommodate a boiler that can accept fibrous waste as a fuel <br /> source. Depending on the specifications, a boiler can be constructed either on the plant site or on property <br /> adjacent to the site. <br /> ✓ PROCESS WATER (WELL OR PURIFIED) - UP TO 250,000 GAL/DAY, AVAILABLE <br /> THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, 24 HOURS PER DAY, SEVEN DAYS PER WEEK. <br /> Water is provided to the site from the south county reverse osmosis plant that has sufficient capacity to serve <br /> the ethanol plant. Currently, water lines extend to the site: so no off-site distribution line construction is needed. <br /> Depending on the quality of water needed for operation of the plant, water needs could potentially be <br /> accommodated by treated wastewater from the county's reuse water system or non - potable water from wells on <br /> the landfill site. <br /> 7 <br />
