arry Kahn here. I'm the closest residence to this project. I am on the eastern side of the property. I object to this project on a number of levels. The first and foremost is it is closer than the required 1,000 foot distance away from my residence. Although I was told there will be no appreciable noise issues, the proposal neglects to evaluate the prevailing wind patterns which generally flow from the West to the East, right to my house. Another issue I have deals with the engineers explanation of how the process works. As I understand from him if 2,000 lbs of wood starts the process the end result would be 500 lbs of biochar and 1,500 lbs of hydrogen gas that would be used as an energy source to perpetuate the process and run generators to sell energy to PG&E. This does not make sense to me. They say that nothing, pollutants will be released into the environment. I don't understand how this is possible. If 2,000 lbs goes into the process then 2,000 lbs has to come out. Some of this could be in the form of heat like an automobile engine. However it wasn't explained as a process that creates its own heat. Therefore some of the 1,500 lbs could be hydrogen gas that would perpetuate the process. It couldn't be a perfect process. There must be other gases or waste products. Where are these waste products going? In the air in the ground? I have lived next to this property for eighteen years. It was a beautiful vineyard when I moved in. Now it is a giant weed field that was improperly cleaned up when it was acquired by the county. I tried to lease the field to expand my hay business. All my inquires were ignored. I believe this was a case reverse discrimination. I would have cleaned up the property and continued with an agricultural business. Instead through grants and Pomo Indian clout I was passed over in favor of the Pomo tribe who want to create a non agricultural business. And the tribe only has to pay $100 per year for the lease. The county doesn't need another tent building that is not in accordance with the original plan of returning this property to a riparian watershed. The people who make decisions regarding this property have made blunder after blunder. When they first acquired the property they allowed all the grapes to rot on the vine. By my calculations they lost $250,000. Now they are giving a preferential lease to the Pomo's rather then getting a fair market value for the land. What idiot makes these decisions?
