M. FACILITY DESCRIPTION: North Carolina Renewable Power—Elizabethtown,LLC is the current
name of a facility that has a long list of previous owners,with the current owners purchasing the facility
in August 2014. Previously known as Elizabethtown Energy,LLC,the facility is an old coal burning
power plant,which houses two boilers and is permitted to combust myriad fuels.The facility will likely
undergo modification similar to that performed at its sister plant in Lumberton,Robeson County(Facility
ID 7800166),to allow the boilers to burn primarily non-CISWI wood fuel,with some percentage of j
poultry litter to produce steam for energy production.
IV. INSPECTION SUMMARY: On 21 February 2018,1, Stephen Allen of DAQ FRO,arrived at North
Carolina Renewable Power—Elizabethtown,LLC in Elizabethtown,Bladen County.Upon arrival,I
found the gate to be chained and locked, and there was no apparent activity at the facility. The facility
has been shutdown since 2009. Mark Fowler;the technical/permit contact for the Lumberton facility,
returned my voicemail on 3/26/2018. Mr.Fowler stated there are currently no plans to resume operations
at the Elizabethtown facility and they may get rid of the air permit because they do not plan to reopen the
facility.
