In November 2023, Rayonier Advanced Materials (RYAM) applied for Permits to produce 7.5 MILLION gallons of Ethanol on the edge of a densely populated part of the City of Fernandina Beach.
Ethanol is highly flammable and carries substantial risk of accidental fires and explosions.
The City of Fernandina Beach (COFB) Comprehensive Plan prohibits chemical or petroleum manufacturing and refining.
No Ethanol Fernandina believes RYAM's permit data is inaccurate and incomplete. In Spring of 2024, we supported a local resident in challenging the draft permit FDEP intended to issue. That challenge ended in Oct 2024 when the Petitioner, facing severe sanctions for legal fees so onerous that neither he nor we could risk, withdrew the Petition.
​
The fight to keep bioethanol production off our Island moves to the City and its defense of our Comprehensive Plan and LDC. More soon.
"Ethanol is highly flammable and carries substantial risk of accidental fires and explosions by producing it within a manufacturing site that already processes large quantities of other hazardous and highly reactive chemicals."
Local resident Medardo Monzon, Chemist
