- United
Wisconsin Grain Producers, L.L.C. From their initial prospectus:
-
- "We May be Subject to Nuisance Claims Due to the
Nature of Our Plant, Addressing the Costs of Which Will Deplete Our
Resources and Could Reduce Our Financial Performance - We intend to locate
the plant in Columbia County near the village of Friesland. Ethanol
production has been known to produce an odor to which surrounding residents
could object, and may also increase dust in the area due to its operations
and the transportation of grain to the plant and ethanol and Distillers
Dried Grains from the plant. Such activities could subject us to
nuisance, trespass or similar claims by employees or property owners or
residents in the vicinity of the plant. To help minimize the risk of
nuisance claims based on odors related to the production of ethanol and its
byproducts, we intend to install a thermal oxidizer in the Plant. See
"BUSINESS (:) Thermal Oxidizer." Nonetheless, the costs of
defending against any such claims, or increased costs to address complaints,
could harm may reduce our financial performance, and could reduce the amount
of cash available to distribute to investors or to enhance our
business."
