storage tanks and a dual state-of -the-art
truck rack enable fast loading of up to 50
trucks per day.

marketers can now see greater product
availability through Seaview.

NAtIONAL BIOdIESEL BOARd
CALLS FOR EPA tO ACt ON RFS
The National Biodiesel Board has asked
the EPA to immediately establish biod-
iesel volumes under the Renewable Fuel
Standard as it highlighted fallout from
the Administration's ongoing failure to
establish functioning renewable fuels
policy for the second consecutive year.
Industry leaders said the EPA's recent
decision to allow streamlined imports of
biodiesel from Argentina under the RFS
has only added new urgency to the need
for stable policy.
In a letter to EPA Administrator Gina
McCarthy, former biodiesel producer
and NBB Governing Board Member Ben
Wootton challenged McCarthy's recent
comments suggesting that the RFS delays
haven't hurt renewable fuels industries.
Wootton lost his Pennsylvania biodiesel
plant, Keystone Biofuels, in bankruptcy
