Storm Lake, IA (KICD)– The new leader of Platinum Crush, the company responsible for the new soybean crush plant near Alta, went before the Buena County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday to talk plans of discharging water from the facility.

CEO Erik Lightner the current plans for water usage for the plant will involve using the deeper of two aquifers in the area.

The planned process will involve the discharge of some of that non-process water because of mineral build-up.

Besides water plans, work is underway to build the team that will run the crush facility when it begins operations about a year from now.
