Does Carolinas Cement plan to submit permits at a later date to burn other fuels? With the price of coal on the rise, will you be requesting to burn tires and hazardous waste at a later date?
• Carolinas Cement has no current or future plans for burning hazardous waste. • Coal is the primary fuel source considered at this time. Petcoke, a common fuel that is a coal-like residual from the petroleum refining process, could also be used. • Carolinas Cement is investigating use of biomass and recycled tires at our existing facilities, but these options are not included in the initial permit for this facility. If a decision is ever made to burn something else, a public process would be followed. How does Carolinas Cement plan to store the kiln dust? Buried or in containment bins? Will any be spread on crops and if so, will you be testing the dust to assure the high-mercury dust is not applied for land use? • One of the benefits of modern cement plant designs and operations is that waste kiln dust is not generated, and for the Castle Hayne facility we will be able to recycle all kiln dust back into the process and the final product.
