16 We have learned many lessons from the school of hard knocks :

17 We have learned many lessons from the school of hard knocks : * Equipment layout and budget shortcuts created increased capital investment to make the plant effective.

18 We have learned many lessons from the school of hard knocks : * Equipment layout and budget shortcuts created increased capital investment to make the plant effective. * Original build was taken back by the bank in the financial collapse of 2008.

19 We have learned many lessons from the school of hard knocks : * Equipment layout and budget shortcuts created increased capital investment to make the plant effective. * Original build was taken back by the bank in the financial collapse of * Dealing with baghouses on a biomass plant is expensive and problematic.

25 The Four Forest Restoration Initiative (4FRI) is The largest restoration project in the American West. It includes four of our National Forests in Arizona. The goal is to plan and implement restoration across 2.4 million acres of Ponderosa Pine Forest. The problem we have a Biomass Bottleneck!

26 Arizona must mitigate its woody biomass in order to return the National Forests to a healthy vegetative state. How can this be done?

27 Arizona must mitigate its woody biomass in order to return the National Forests to a healthy vegetative state. How can this be done? Additional PPA s * Local Utilities * WAPA * California

28 Arizona must mitigate its woody biomass in order to return the National Forests to a healthy vegetative state. How can this be done? Additional PPA s * Local Utilities * WAPA * California Subsidy * USFS Biomass Mitigation * USDA BCAP * Forest to Faucet or Forest to Outlet Surcharge * State/County level
