Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts says the closed ethanol plant in Mead is working to reach compliance.
“We are continuing to work with the EPA and the plant and so forth on getting them into compliance,” he said.
The AltEn plant was ordered to shut down by the state earlier this month after a site visit showed the plant’s pesticide levels in lagoons was beyond EPA standards. The plant was notified last October that it was not in compliance with the EPA.
