Summary

U.S. EPA plans to modify a permit for an injection well owned by the Archer Daniels Midland Company, 4666 Faries Parkway, Decatur, Illinois.

The existing permit is for one injection well, CCS#2, that ADM wants to use to inject and store carbon dioxide, or CO₂, underground. The CO₂ is created when ADM makes ethanol. ADM plans to inject 1.1 million metric tons of CO₂ per year into this well over five years. EPA first issued this permit in 2014.

The proposed modifications will update the permit and attachments because of new information obtained during well construction and pre-injection testing. Only the conditions proposed for modification are re-opened for comment. A detailed list of the proposed modifications is available on EPA’s website, at the Decatur Public Library, or by contacting EPA.
