Processing at MMR recovery yards and at the Genesee Power Station is performed under strict wood handling and processing procedures. Processing varies depending on material type and end use. MMR personnel are trained to identify and handle different material types consistent with proper procedures. In order to minimize environmental risk these procedures are in conformity with and are authorized by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.
