Ag Processing Inc. agreed to pay a $500,000 fine after federal environmental inspectors found spill protection violations at eight large vegetable oil and biodiesel production facilities in Iowa, Nebraska and Minnesota.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says Omaha-based Ag Processing failed to have adequate protections in place at the processing facilities, which have oil storage capacities that are greater than 1 million gallons.
The facilities are located in Sheldon, Manning, Algona, Everly and Eagle Grove, all in Iowa> Hastings, Nebraska, and Dawson, Minnesota.
