Those involved in the
project want more time to interact with the community to discuss and improve
the project, said Daryl Maas, co-owner of Farm Power Northwest and an
independent consultant on the project.
Calgren Renewable Fuels
asked the Tulare County, Calif., planning commission to delay its
hearing on permitting the digester. The $10 million project would take manure
from two or three area dairies and convert it into methane to fire boilers at
its ethanol plant.
