Reading David Halme’s Nov. 8 letter, “Opposition to biomass misinformed,” I find it interesting that someone in Battle Ground feels it’s his place to tell folks in Vancouver what to do. We are not misinformed.
Perhaps Halme has a vested interest in getting the biomass plant completed as vice president of HFI Consultants. According to the HFI website, “HFI Consultants is a Forestry and Land Use Consulting Firm serving the Pacific Northwest. We serve landowners seeking to evaluate and enhance the use of their lands and forests. Providing consulting services to timber companies, tree farms, trusts, estates, conservation groups, land use and real estate attorneys, appraisers and any other group or individual interested in the management and use of forested lands and real estate.”
If you check out the Clark County Board of Commissioners meeting notes for July 12, Halme is noted as one of the speakers.
He commented on “consolidation of equipment/operating costs” for the biomass plant, and encouraged approval of the agreement.
