DOE issued final DOE/EA-1767, which analyzed the potential environmental impacts of allowing Virginia to use federal grants to assist Cephas Industries in the construction of an open-loop manufacturing facility to create biomass fuels from recycled wood construction and demolition (C&D) debris in Richmond, Virginia. The proposal included the installation of conveyors, a shredder/grinder, a picking station, a magnetic separator, excavators and loaders to separate the C&D debris for processing and to load end products for distribution.
