Bion Environmental secures permit to develop waste treatment system at Pennsylvania farm

Bion Environmental secures permit to develop waste treatment system at Pennsylvania farm

Shareholders in Bion Environmental Technologies (OTC:BNET) received good news today after the company confirmed that it had received approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to develop the first phase of a waste treatment system at Kreider Farms’ 1,200 cow dairy.


The Kreider Farms project will see Bion develop one of its environmental waste treatment systems, which are designed to cut nitrogen and phosphorus from the effluent of dairy cows, while also reducing ammonia emissions in to the air.


Bion has sharpened its focus on Pennsylvania’s Susquehanna River Basin (part of the Chesapeake Bay watershed) where the state is being required to cut the amount of nitrogen discharges into the Bay. 

As part of the state’s drive to cut discharges, it has embarked on establishing a nutrient trading program, where credits can be earned for cutting discharges voluntarily, which can then be sold to businesses or municipal operations, notably wastewater treatment plants, to offset their discharge requirements.


 “We are very pleased to have resolution on the Kreider Farms permitting for Phase 1 and look forward to a timely installation for Phase 1. Now that Phase I is permitted, we will expedite the completion of our Phase II permit application related to the Kreider poultry operations and expect to file it shortly,” Jeremy Rowland, Bion’s Chief Operating Officer, stated.


Rowland’s reference to a Phase II application involves extending the facilities to include treating the waste from Kreider Farms’ approximately 4.2 million chickens and will include a facility to produce renewable energy from the waste.


Bion's Phase 1 project at Kreider Farms is expected to generate approximately 150,000 credits per year, rising to over 1 million per year upon the completion of Phase Two.
