Dry and cooler conditions are expected on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\"\"Jamestown, ND \u2013 Aug 30 \u2013 Spiritwood Energy Park Association (SEPA) today filed its response to the lawsuit filed earlier this month by North Dakota Soybean Processors (NDSP). In the 66-page memo, the association spells out in detail NDSP\u2019s track record of broken promises, missed deadlines and bad management decisions that have prevented the timely construction of a 125,000 Bu\/day integrated soybean crush facility and refinery to produce soybean meal, refined bleached and deodorized oil, and biodiesel.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s beyond outrageous that NDSP is using the legal system to obscure its epic fail in this project,\u201d said Connie Ova, SEPA\u2019s chief executive officer. \u201cMore than two years ago, NDSP undertook to secure $120 million in equity funding no later than March 31, 2018; just last month it still didn\u2019t have binding commitments for that funding. It failed to timely negotiate critical agreements with us, and it failed to meaningfully work with some strategic business partners at all. It missed deadlines and repeatedly changed direction on key provisions of our agreement. When it lost confidence in its own management team, NDSP and its parent sought to use those problems as an excuse for its own poor performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ova continued: \u201cMore than three years after we first started talking about this project, we have nothing to show for it but a filing cabinet full of NDSP\u2019s promises made and broken. Every day lost to NDSP\u2019s failures can be measured in jobs not created and economic development unrealized. North Dakota farmers deserve better. The residents of Jamestown and Stutsman County deserve better.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today\u2019s filing was made in anticipation of a hearing next month before Judge Stephannie Stiel in the East Central District Court in Fargo. The hearing will determine if a restraining order sought by NDSP to block SEPA\u2019s termination of the construction agreement will be continued. Since terminating its agreement with NDSP, SEPA has already entered into an exclusivity agreement with another soybean crushing plant developer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe that NDSP\u2019s lawsuit is a deliberate, blatant effort to disrupt our relationship with our new partner,\u201d Ova said. \u201cNDSP\u2019s sharp tactics convinced the Court to issue an ex parte temporary restraining order without giving us any prior notice or opportunity to correct the record. They created a misleading narrative, misapplied the law and have mounted a public relations campaign to cloud the facts. We\u2019re confident that, with the evidence now before the Court, the record will be set straight and the way cleared to move ahead with other options.\u201d<\/p>\n
