RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) The North Carolina General Assembly began moving its annual farm bill Tuesday with a Senate committee voting for legislation that in part would create a more streamlined permit for turning hog waste into energy.
Like previous years, the measure contains a hodgepodge of changes, such as exempting fires for cooking and warmth from certain open-burn bans, increasing punishments for stealing timber and clarifying compensation rules for state Forest Service firefighters.
But the measure that cleared the Senate agriculture panel also would create “general permits” for animal farm operations that allow the owner to operate a farm digester system that collects methane gas.
The natural gas storage report from the EIA for the week ending April 23rd indicated that the amount of natural gas held in underground storage in the US rose by 15 billion cubic feet to 1,898 billion cubic feet by the end of the week, which left our gas supplies 302 billion cubic feet, or 13.7% below the 2,200 billion cubic feet that were in storage on April 23rd of last year, and 40 billion cubic feet, or 2.1% below the five-year average of 1,938 billion cubic feet of natural gas that have been in storage as of the 23rd of April in recent years..the 15 billion cubic feet that were added to US natural gas storage this week was more than the average forecast of a 9 billion cubic foot addition from an S&P Global Platts survey of analysts, but measured well below the average addition of 67 billion cubic feet of natural gas that have typically been injected into natural gas storage during the same week over the past 5 years, as well as well below the 66 billion cubic feet added to natur
In an eleventh-hour bid to protect stands of old growth trees in sensitive natural areas deep in the Nantahala National Forest, conservationists on April 30 called on the U.S. Forest Service to scrap what they call a bad plan based on outdated science that does not consider climate change.
The group, led by Chattooga Conservancy Executive Director Nicole Hayler, gathered at the Forest Service headquarters in Asheville to present a petition more than 1,300 names strong to reconsider the Southside Project, which they say is rife with issues and which they ve been fighting for years.
The project calls for commercial logging dispersed throughout an analysis of more than 29,000 acres in southeastern Macon County and southern Jackson County, just east of Highlands.
