The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency is snowed under with air permit applications from ethanol plant projects.
According to a story from the Illinois Farm Bureau publication FarmWeek, there were 13 applications in September alone.
On average, an ethanol project receives a permit about six months after submitting an application. Permits for controversial projects or those that go through a public hearing can take nine months.
