St. Thomas Project:
The Project:
- Construction and operation of a Refuse Derived Fuel (“RDF”) processing and recycling facility
- 200 tons-per-day of Municipal Solid Waste (“MSW”) will be converted into approximately 150 tons-per-day of RDF
- Commercially proven RDF processing equipment will be supplied by WastAway
- Recyclable materials such as metals and glass will be returned to the VI Waste Management Authority for sales to third parties
- Pelletized RDF will be transported via barge to St. Croix for use in Alpine’s 16.5MW power generation facility
- Development
- Alpine's role is to build, own and operate the St. Thomas RDF facility
- Jobs will include 75 during construction, and at least 30 permanent jobs during operations
- Alpine expects to begin construction by the spring of 2012
Proposed Project Site:
St. Thomas Bovoni landfill, adjacent to the Mangrove Lagoon Wastewater Treatment Plant
Regulatory Information:
Alpine Energy Group submitted an air permit application for the construction of the RDF facility to the USVI Department of Planning and Natural Resources in August 2010. Although future correspondence with DPNR and the USVI community will shape the final permit, this application provides a comprehensive overview of the project at this stage of the design. This page will be updated with subsequent correspondence between Alpine and the regulatory authority.
