Wolverine Land Fill Permit Approved

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DRNE) approved the land fill permit for the Wolverine Clean Energy Venture (WCEV).  This is a major milestone and achievement for the WCEV, Rogers City, and Presque Isle County.  Way to go DNRE!

Now, we need the Permit to Install (PTI).  Check out today's issue of the Detroit News for a full page add requesting action on the WCEV PTI.  Thank you to the citizens who contributed to make this add possible.

Rogers City needs the WCEV and so does Michigan.  I believe the WCEV is a win-win project for us all: clean energy, environmental protection, best available technology, high technology jobs, carbon capture, biomass, jobs, and more benefits besides.

Department of Natural Resources and Environment (DNRE)

Rebecca A. Humphries  has been named as the new Director of the combined former DNR and DEQ.  Becky is a friend to Rogers City, and I urge you to contact her to congratulate her on her appointment by Governor Granholm.  The Governor combined DNR and DEQ into a single department (DNRE) as a cost saving measure and to better serve the State of Michigan.  Here is a link to learn more
