JOHNSTON, IOWA – JOHNSTON, IA- In response to Governor Kim Reynold’s bipartisan letter to the EPA regarding summertime E15 sales, Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw released the following statement today:

“IRFA members thank Governor Kim Reynolds for her continued leadership to ensure consumers have access to year-round E15. Today, she led a bipartisan, multistate letter to the EPA urging them to issue an emergency E15 waiver for this summer. EPA needs to act quickly to ensure consumers don’t pay the price at the pump for the agency’s inaction.”

IRFA does not object to the provisions in the bill that clarify and expand landowner rights that apply to all projects that come before the IUB.
