Abstract

This is a research report on a two-phase analysis of the economics of nonmetropolitan solid waste resource recovery in the North Central Region. The research was supported in part by a $26,500 grant from the North Central Regional Center for Rural Development at Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa. Part I includes an inventory of the 372 steam-electric plants in the 12 North Central states with emphasis on the 242 plants with coal burning capacity. Eighty-six of these coal burning plants are located in nonmetropolitan counties of the region. Plant capacity to burn refuse, conformation to emission standards, coal sources, and coal prices are included.
