Imperial County Pacific Ethanol Production Facility EIR

Imperial County Pacific Ethanol Production Facility EIR

The project proposes to develop a production facility for up to 60 million gallons of ethanol and distiller grains per year. The project would receive corn, grain, etc. (raw product) via rail, which in turn would be used to produce ethanol (processed product) for off-site use as an additive in motor vehicle fuel. The wet distiller grains would be utilized for use locally as cattle feed. Project structures would include a grain processing building, a fermentation building and holding tank, a distillation, serving and evaporation building, ethanol storage tanks, an evaportation pond, and a natural gas-fired steam production facility.
