Community Updates & Resources
Ever since AltEn ceased operations at its facility in Mead in 2021, the AltEn Facility Response Group (FRG) has been voluntarily working under the guidance of the Nebraska Department of Water, Energy and Environment (NDWEE). The AltEn Facility Response Group has stabilized the AltEn site, developed and implemented Remedial Action Plans (RAP) for water and wet cake stored at the site and developed a RAP for other onsite solids. This work is helping the FRG to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and environment. To date, there has been no evidence of impacts to local groundwater.

The FRG is working diligently with the NDWEE to identify the most effective and safest methods to address the current environmental conditions on the AltEn site. The remedial action plans (RAPs) are designed to recommend remediation for components remaining on-site, including wastewater, sludge, and wet cake. All wet cake was solidified and removed from the AltEn site by August 2025.
The NDWEE has two online information directories with information about the AltEn site situation:
• The NDWEE public information portal
• Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy public records portal. Enter “84069” in the “DEQ Facility Number” field to access AltEn records.
