On Tuesday, six seed corn companies that have been cleaning up the AtlEn ethanol plant site near Mead, Nebraska, filed two separate federal lawsuits seeking repayment for their work. One lawsuit alleges that AltEn, its owner Tanner Shaw, manager Scott Tingelhoff and other companies under Shaw’s control have mishandled the seed corn and contaminated byproducts in “violation of federal and state laws” and that AltEn did not meet its commitments to the seed corn companies to dispose of the chemically treated seed properly.
