The Iowa Department of Natural Resources published an administrative content order that avoids litigation with Golden Grain Energy, LLC, of Mason City. The order lists air quality violations by the plant dating back to 2012, in which it exceeded permitted emissions limits.

The order says Golden Grain must comply with air quality construction permits and a Title V operating permit; submit all necessary permit applications; develop and implement a maintenance plan to ensure compliance with permit requirements; and pay $10,000 penalty for the past violations.
