City administration, with Electric Advisory Committee (EAC) assistance, gathered information on biomass availability and cost estimates from experts in the forestry industry. These experts all felt that the most likely fuel source for the Escanaba Generating Station would be timber harvesting residuals such as tree tops, branches, and sub- merchantable timber. These timber harvesting residuals would be delivered as wood chips or ground wood to the Escanaba Generating Station.
