Residents already complaining about potential impacts of proposed Kansas biogas project

In Kansas, VNA Corporation is looking to set up a biogas plant using wheat straw as feedstock near the town of Wellington but neighbors are already getting upset about the increased traffic the plant will generate during harvest season as well as air quality and competition for water. State tests are underway to determine if there is enough groundwater for the proposed facility in addition to needs for local residents. A public hearing for the project will be held next month.
