GREEN BAY, WI--(Marketwire - July 31, 2007) - ENCAP™, LLC, inventor of advanced soil technologies that fight erosion, establish seeds and hold fertilizers in place, today announced the honor of receiving an Agricultural Development & Diversification Grant from the Wisconsin Department of Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP). The substantial grant is part of a half-million dollar effort by Governor Doyle and the state of Wisconsin to assist local organizations with research and project implementation in fields such as ethanol production, organic farming and various other agricultural sectors.

Lieutenant Governor Barbara Lawton, along with DATCP Secretary, Rod Nilsestuen, met with ENCAP executives on Tuesday, July 31, to discuss how the company's Solid Separation Technology (SST™) can benefit the entire agricultural community. ENCAP's SST™ allows existing separation equipment (such as dewatering drums) to be more effective in separating the solids, nutrients and contaminates. The end result is cleaner water for field application, more solids and better recovery of minerals and nutrients within the solids. This technology can be especially useful for farmers when dealing with solid removal and nutrient isolation in manure management.

"Wisconsin is proud to be home to companies such as ENCAP, that develop new technologies to make farming more efficient and environmentally friendly, while creating new jobs in the process," said Lt. Governor Lawton.

"By awarding ENCAP this generous grant, the state of Wisconsin is making an investment in the entire farming community, both on a local and national level," said Chris Calawerts, Business Development Manager of ENCAP. "Our Solid Separation Technology is an environment-friendly way for all agricultural producers to manage manure and produce value-added products from manure solids."

Along with SST™ research, the grant will also be used to transform additional waste products into environment-friendly products for the turf, landscape and agricultural markets. Each of these new end products will utilize ENCAP's Advanced Soil Technology (AST™), which can currently be found on the shelves of the nation's largest retailers, including Lowe's and Home Depot, and distributed through landscape, golf and fire restoration professionals.
