Presentation of information by MSU faculty/staff personnel regarding proposal to study feasibility of solid waste recovery and energy generation system Dennis Blackketter of the Montana State University appeared before the Commission to present a proposal for a feasibility study for a solid waste energy utilization plant. Mr. Blackketter said the purpose of this presentation is to provide information to the Commission concerning a refuse disposal system and to start the development of a cooperative I agreement between the City and the University for a solid waste energy plant to determine whether a city of the size of Bozeman could support such a system. Mr. Blackketter estimated that 35,000 people would produce 100,000 pounds of solid waste a day.
