South Dakota (1999 EWS)

The workshop that was held in August last year was located in Rapid City and included the forestry service of the Wyoming Black Hills as well. South Dakota used the opportunity to help bridge the differences between the east and west sides of their state, and Wyoming used it as a stepping-stone for an educational process on ethanol. A Black Hills pre-feasibility study was presented by NREL. Currently, there is a core group of people investigating the option of an ethanol plant in the Black Hills.
