DEC told JBI that there were certain things about the design that DEC didn't like.

Permit requirements are a matter of law authored by the Legislature; the DEC doesn't make up rules as they go. If "the DEC didn't like" something about JBI's permit application then that means JB was once again caught unprepared and inadequate for the position (he had two years to fill out the 10-page application correctly).

Then DEC provided guidance on ways to redesign that would satisfy DEC's concerns.

Perhaps in the same way the IRS "provides guidance" to me when I do my taxes each year. They supply an instruction booklet and FAQ's on their web site; however, IRS agents are not available to rewrite incorrect or exaggerated Form 1040s, and they surely aren't building bleachers in my driveway right now to witness mathematical greatness.

"Islechem is handling JBI's permitting. I was advised by Mark Hans that Hal Pierce is managing permits for JBI. Hal Pierce is an executive of the Air and Waste Management Association of Niagara, and a former Occidental Chemical Environmental Manager. His experience proves he knows permits."

By the way, do remember the original reason given for JBI "engaging" Islechem in Dec. 2009?

"IsleChem was engaged by the Company on December 9, 2009 to verify the Company’s Plastic2Oil process. During 40 runs of tests, IsleChem was able to isolate the conditions that allowed the process to run optimally and provide engineering support to gather data to apply for a NYDEC air permit. IsleChem verified our Plastic2Oil process is scalable and repeatable."

Any idea how much Islechem was paid for the next 8-12 months if the DEC consulted with JB for free? Why did the draft permits require detailed plans submitted by a Professional Engineer on JBII's behalf if they were providing that service?

At best your theory only exposes Islechem and JBII's PE-for-hire as two more entities paid with your money to perform services that were seemingly not adequately performed. Kidd, Vazquez, Weber, Shoemaker, Kaplanis, Seneca, Colin Robbins, Steve Zervas, the Pak-It infomercial firm, the professional film crew working the 2011 AGM - and probably a dozen more I'm forgetting - have all cheated Honest John and his loyal shareholders out of MILLIONS of dollars, yet he won't even do anything about that!

It is common sense that a business understand it's permitting requirements before they start operations....It appears as if JBI dis not understand and plan for full permitting.

Islechem is handling JBI's permitting. I was advised by Mark Hans that Hal Pierce is managing permits for JBI. Hal Pierce is an executive of the Air and Waste Management Association of Niagara, and a former Occidental Chemical Environmental Manager. His experience proves he knows permits.
