John Schalles, a Creighton University emeritus biology professor, took this drone photo of the wet cake pile and surroundings near the former AltEn ethanol plant near Mead on Feb. 27. He believes the cap, placed over the wet cake pile in February 2022 and expected to last several years, is deteriorating and the dark water on top is extruding through fissures due to the cap’s weight on the consolidated pile underneath.
