PIERRE, S.D. (WNAX) – South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem says she is reaching out to the White House following the release of the final ethanol rules from the Environmental Protection Agency.

The rules still allow waivers to oil refineries to not use as many gallons of ethanol as federal law mandates.

Noem says it is not what the President promised.

Noem says they continue to fight political pressure on ethanol.

The law calls for oil companies to use 15 billion gallons of ethanol a year.
