Bismarck, ND (KCSi-T.V. News Sept 12, 2012) — At a news conference Wednesday at the State Capital in Bismarck, a major announcement was made that involves Spiritwood Energy Park Association, industrial park, become the site of a $1.2 billion nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing plant.<\/p>\n

The plant will be operated by CHS, the Farmers Union member owned cooperative.<\/p>\n

The plant will take natural gas and produce anhydrous ammonia, urea, and liquid fertilizer.<\/p>\n

The materials will be distributed by CHS.<\/p>\n

The next step in the process is to obtain a preliminary engineering and design study.<\/p>\n

If all goes according to plans, the plant would be on line in 2016.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s expected the plant will employ 100-150 workers at the site at Spiritwood.<\/p>\n

Financing for the project is expected to come from multiple sources, including owner equity in CHS, and and hopefully other equity sources.<\/p>\n

The plant will be co-located with Great River Energy\u2019s power and coal plant, which produces steam.<\/p>\n

On hand from Jamestown at the major announcement were: Jamestown Mayor Katie Andersen,<\/p>\n

Jamestown\/Stutsman Development Corporation, CEO Connie Ova, along with Stutsman County Commissioners, Mark Klose, and Dennis Ova.<\/p>\n

\u3000<\/p>\n

Statement From JSDC:<\/p>\n

This is a momentous day for the Jamestown\/Stutsman Development Corporation Board of Directors, Stutsman County Commission, Jamestown City Council and especially for the 22,000 + taxpaying citizens of Stutsman County.<\/p>\n

We are overwhelmed with the magnitude of this project and excited about the economic impact to the area. Agriculture is and always will be the number 1 economic driver in Stutsman County and the benefits back to the farming community are substantial. The impact of the construction jobs and finally the full time excellent careers that these project providers will bring years of possibilities to the state, region, county and local communities.<\/p>\n

Thank you to Great River Energy for being the best partner a community could dream of. Thank you to Cenex Harvest States and North Dakota Farmers Union for choosing the Spiritwood Energy Park location. <\/a>Thank you to ND Department of Commerce and most of all to Governor Dalrymple for clearing the path for this opportunity to happen in North Dakota.<\/p>\n

Again, from the JSDC Board of Directors, thank you and we look forward to decades of opportunity and economic growth with this project.<\/p>\n

News Release From Gov. Dalrymple\u2019s Office<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (KCSi-T.V News Sept 12, 2012) — Gov. Jack Dalrymple and leaders of CHS Inc., the nation\u2019s largest farmer-owned cooperative, Wednesday announced that the company is taking steps toward constructing a nitrogen fertilizer plant in North Dakota at a cost of more than $1 billion.<\/p>\n

The plant would convert natural gas into fertilizers, providing the region\u2019s farmers with enhanced supplies of nutrients essential to raising corn and other crops.<\/p>\n

CHS has selected a 200-acre site for the fertilizer plant near Spiritwood, North Dakota.<\/p>\n

Following further due diligence, necessary approvals and a successful engineering study, CHS would move forward on construction.<\/p>\n

CHS is conducting a preliminary engineering and design study to determine the feasibility of construction plans for the project, which is expected to cost between $1.1 billion and $1.4 billion.<\/p>\n

CHS is investing $10 million in the first phase of the feasibility study.<\/p>\n

Governor Dalrymple said, “This project is great news for our farmers and for the entire state of North Dakota. The CHS fertilizer plant will provide our farmers with a reliable, long-term supply of locally produced fertilizers in place of imports from foreign countries. At the same time, the plant will create more North Dakota jobs and utilize locally produced natural gas. We will continue working to add value to our energy resources and to develop more agricultural inputs for North Dakota farmers.”<\/p>\n

Gov. Dalrymple and CHS President and CEO Carl Casale announced plans to build the fertilizer plant during a news conference held at the state capital in Bismarck.<\/p>\n

They were joined by Woody Barth, president of the North Dakota Farmers Union which has helped facilitate the project.<\/p>\n

Casale said, “By pursuing this project, CHS would be making a significant, strategic investment that ensures consistent, domestic nitrogen fertilizer supply for our farmer-owners. Today CHS imports fertilizer products from 19 countries. Developing additional domestic crop nutrients sources closer to our customers is critical to meeting demand, improving our logistical and distribution expertise, and adding value for the farmers who count on us.”<\/p>\n

Barth said, “The ability to deliver a reliable supply of fertilizer products in North Dakota and the region is a win-win for family farmers and our farmer-owned cooperative system. We are pleased that our organization\u2019s initial market analysis and feasibility study for building a plant of this scope has allowed us to work closely with CHS, leading to today\u2019s announcement.”<\/p>\n

Preliminary plans call for building a plant that will produce 2,200 tons of ammonia fertilizer daily.<\/p>\n

It will be distributed as anhydrous ammonia, urea and UAN liquid fertilizer to farm supply retailers and farmers in the Dakotas and parts of Minnesota, Montana and Canada.<\/p>\n

The proposed plant will take advantage of abundant regional natural gas feedstock. It will employ between 100 and 150 people, with a tentative start-up in the second half of 2016.<\/p>\n

Casale said CHS is in discussions with Great River Energy and the Jamestown Stutsman Development Corporation (JSDC), which together own the Spiritwood property, to formalize project agreements related to the land and services to be provided by Great River Energy and JSDC.<\/p>\n

CHS will continue working with Gov. Dalrymple\u2019s office, the North Dakota Department of Commerce, JSDC, Jamestown city officials, Stutsman County, North Dakota Farmers Union and Great River Energy to move the project forward.<\/p>\n

In addition, CHS has contracted with the engineering firms of CH2M Hill of Houston, Texas, and Kadmas, Lee and Jackson of Bismarck for on-site planning and related business and construction details.<\/p>\n

CHS Inc. (www.chsinc.com<\/a>) is a leading global agribusiness owned by farmers, ranchers and cooperatives across the United States.<\/p>\n

\ndefending a $25,000 raise to one of the city’s department heads.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Some city council members complained that the pay increase for

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Haga had been making $71,000 prior to the bump in pay. The raise
\nputs Haga on par with other department heads, most of whom earn

\nof balancing the interests of people along the route.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Commissioner Kevin Cramer voted no. He argues the power line
\nroute is too disruptive to communities south of Fargo.<\/p>\n

\u00a0WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Department of
\nTransportation is using a new technique to help roads in the
\nwestern oil patch withstand heavy truck traffic.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Clayton Schumaker with DOT says the technique known as white
\ntopping involves placing a 6-8-inch layer of concrete on an asphalt
\nroadway. It already has been used in other areas of the state,
\nincluding U.S. Highway 2 near Rugby.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Officials say the concrete overlay method is a cost-effective
\nway to improve the load-carrying capacity of roads and increase
\nsafety.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ACME Concrete Paving Vice President Robert Seghetti tells The
\nForum newspaper that white topping should eliminate the ruts that
\nhave been occurring on some oil patch roads. ACME is using the
\ntechnique on U.S. 2 near Williston.<\/p>\n
