Hi Theo...I'm sure others
will have more specific information to help you, but I'd like to direct at
least some of your attention along political lines with these questions:
1) Are there any monied interests that might be trying to do same as you
and want you out of the way? 2) Who hired the inspector and pays the inspector's
salary? 3) Is there help to be had from the Inspector's
employer? 4) Have you contacted local and state representation about
what you want to do and how they can help you? I'm sure the questions
could become even more plentiful and specific along these lines, but perhaps
this is at least a start in a direction that might open up some other ways of
thinking about how to deal with developing this project. Mike

Subject: [Biofuel] Permits and lots of
other problems
Hi everyone,
I am currently in the process of helping to start up a biodiesel production
faculty on the border of Wisconsin and Illinois. We were making good
progress to setting up to a capacity of 1000gallons a day. Unfortunately we
have had a recent run in with the cities inspector. They have automatically
assumed that biodiesel production it is a very dangerous affair and have
sealed our building off in addition to mentioning that we have lack of several
permits (which we actually have). What make the situation very difficult is
the fact that either the inspector or the town we are in has any knowledge of
biodiesel and its production. In addition the inspector himself is a very
unfriendly and difficult person to work with especially when I comes to the
site at which we are located. I was hoping that someone might have some
knowledge of where I can find information with regards guild lines or laws and
regulations on running a biodiesel production facility. By that I mean
information on a federal or state level that directly addresses things like
methanol storage (which we have only a very small amount of), biodiesel
storage, and any other information on things like the use of certain
processing equipment to fire safety. I have been looking the last two days
almost all day and have been very limited partially because it is the weekend
and the fact that I cant get a hold of anyone and because of the fact that
everything I find has no relation to biodiesel. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. THANKS!
