'A dump for seed corn companies' — Mead residents worry what comes next for troubled ethanol plant

1 of 12

AltEn Ethanol, 2.4

Unlike other ethanol plants, AltEn used treated seed instead of harvested grain for its fuel production. The byproduct from that process and wastewater near the plant have been found to carry levels of pesticides and fungicides above limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency.

AltEn Ethanol

Seed treated with pesticide, which is colored to distinguish it, is piled inside a three-story building at the AltEn ethanol plant near Mead in this photo taken in April 2019 during a Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy inspection. The seed was used in the plant's ethanol process and the byproduct of that process created soil conditioner that was sold to area farmers.

AltEn was ordered on Feb. 4 to shut down its ethanol production after the state found three lagoons on the site were badly damaged and holding more wastewater than permitted. It completed the shutdown on Feb. 8, according to the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy. This aerial photo was taken in mid-January.

AltEn shut down its operations on Feb. 8 after an order by the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy. The state found three lagoons on the site were contaminated, badly damaged and holding more wastewater than permitted.

Emptied treated seed bags are stacked at the AltEn company in this photo taken in April 2019 during a Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy inspection. The ethanol plant near Mead used the seed to produce ethanol and the byproduct from the process to create soil conditioner sold to area farmers.

The Department of Environment and Energy ordered AltEn Ethanol near Mead to shut down in early February, dispose of millions of gallons of contaminated wastewater on the site and repair lagoons in violation of state regulations.

AltEn Ethanol has been the subject of dozens of complaints since it reopened near Mead in 2015 related to an odor coming from the byproduct of its ethanol process, seen here at the beginning of the month. The byproduct has been found to carry levels of pesticides and fungicides above limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The company used the seeds to produce ethanol and the byproduct from the process to create soil conditioner sold to area farmers.

AltEn, an ethanol company in Mead, uses treated seed as feedstock. The seed is colored to indicate it’s been treated with insecticide or fungicide.

Mead has changed its zoning rules so that if AltEn closes, the facility can never reopen as an ethanol plant.

AltEn is unique among ethanol plants in that it uses seeds pre-treated with pesticides to produce ethanol instead of harvested grain. It ceased operation on Feb. 8 after a state order.

A year after state regulators ordered AltEn Ethanol to stop selling its pesticide-contaminated soil conditioner to local farmers, the Mead ethanol plant remained the final destination for millions of pounds of treated seed in North America.

Jody Weible, a former member of Mead’s Village Planning Board, said when AltEn was given a conditional use permit to run its plant, the board wasn't told the plant would use seed corn, rather than the more common field corn, to produce ethanol.

AltEn Ethanol, 2.4

Unlike other ethanol plants, AltEn used treated seed instead of harvested grain for its fuel production. The byproduct from that process and wastewater near the plant have been found to carry levels of pesticides and fungicides above limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Seed treated with pesticide, which is colored to distinguish it, is piled inside a three-story building at the AltEn ethanol plant near Mead in this photo taken in April 2019 during a Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy inspection. The seed was used in the plant's ethanol process and the byproduct of that process created soil conditioner that was sold to area farmers.

AltEn was ordered on Feb. 4 to shut down its ethanol production after the state found three lagoons on the site were badly damaged and holding more wastewater than permitted. It completed the shutdown on Feb. 8, according to the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy. This aerial photo was taken in mid-January.

AltEn shut down its operations on Feb. 8 after an order by the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy. The state found three lagoons on the site were contaminated, badly damaged and holding more wastewater than permitted.

Emptied treated seed bags are stacked at the AltEn company in this photo taken in April 2019 during a Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy inspection. The ethanol plant near Mead used the seed to produce ethanol and the byproduct from the process to create soil conditioner sold to area farmers.

Jody Weible, a former member of Mead’s Village Planning Board, said when AltEn was given a conditional use permit to run its plant, the board wasn't told the plant would use seed corn, rather than the more common field corn, to produce ethanol.

The Department of Environment and Energy ordered AltEn Ethanol near Mead to shut down in early February, dispose of millions of gallons of contaminated wastewater on the site and repair lagoons in violation of state regulations.

AltEn Ethanol has been the subject of dozens of complaints since it reopened near Mead in 2015 related to an odor coming from the byproduct of its ethanol process, seen here at the beginning of the month. The byproduct has been found to carry levels of pesticides and fungicides above limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The company used the seeds to produce ethanol and the byproduct from the process to create soil conditioner sold to area farmers.

AltEn, an ethanol company in Mead, uses treated seed as feedstock. The seed is colored to indicate it’s been treated with insecticide or fungicide.

Mead has changed its zoning rules so that if AltEn closes, the facility can never reopen as an ethanol plant.

AltEn is unique among ethanol plants in that it uses seeds pre-treated with pesticides to produce ethanol instead of harvested grain. It ceased operation on Feb. 8 after a state order.

Paula Dyas' dogs (from left), Scout, Buddy and Athena, became violently ill after eating soil conditioner spread in the field behind her home. The conditioner is created with a byproduct produced by AltEn Ethanol's unusual manufacturing process, which uses seeds treated with pesticides instead of harvested grains.
