Litchfield AD1 Facility

We invite you to comment on the draft Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for the proposed Litchfield AD1 Facility.

Vanguard Organics, LLC (Vanguard) proposes construction and operation of the Litchfield AD1 Facility (Project) which would include two anaerobic digesters, storage buildings, and other necessary infrastructure within a lease area on the Wagner Dairy Farm, northeast of the intersection of 650th Avenue and 288th Street in Forest City Township, Minnesota. The goal of the Project is to take both manure from the Wagner Dairy Farm and food waste from other sources and convert these organic wastes into renewable natural gas, organic fertilizer, and bio-solids for animal bedding.

The Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) is not a decision and does not determine whether the project moves forward. It is an information-gathering document used to inform decision-makers including those issuing land use and environmental permits that are required for the project. The environmental review process provides an opportunity for public input during the public comment period.
