'I am terrified' — AltEn study finds pesticides in Mead woman's home

AltEn Ethanol, 2.4

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, 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, 2.4

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.

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.

Stan and Evelyn Keiser, 6.30

Evelyn and Stan Keiser had hoped to build a cabin on their property near a pond created by Stan Keiser's grandfather. The pond, once teeming with wildlife, is now a dead zone after pesticide-contaminated wastewater from the AltEn ethanol plant near Mead flowed downstream. The Keisers were also recently notified that their private well, which provides their drinking water, contains contaminants.

Mead, Neb.

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.

Jody Weible lives less than a mile north of AltEn and has worked stubbornly for years to organize the community to push state lawmakers and government officials to address the environmental and health issues originating at the plant.
