Dairies Plan Methane Project with Public Comment Phase
The project allows public comment and a hearing request to determine if significant public interest exists. If held, Secretary Ryan Flynn will decide on the discharge permit within 30 days after a final recommendation. If no comments are received the permit is approved. The venture links several dairies with AG Power and aims to convert manure into methane gas and then natural gas for buses and trucks. Underground pipelines connect dairies to the AG Power plant with receiving tanks, digesters, and evaporation tanks feeding irrigation land.
