Bion Announces Water Quality Permit Application for Phase 1 of Kreider Farms
Project

June 25, 2009. New York, New York.  Bion PA 1, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary
of Bion Environmental Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: BNET), announced that it has
filed a water quality permit application with the Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Protection pursuant to its development at the Kreider Dairy
Farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.  The water quality permit application
included the submittal of a Design Basis Report, which contains a large
collection of design details, technical descriptions and equipment
specifications.

Bion's comprehensive environmental waste treatment system will treat the
waste from Kreider's dairy operation to substantially reduce nitrogen and
phosphorus in the effluent, as well as ammonia emitted to the atmosphere.
Phase 1 of Bion's project at the Kreider Dairy Farm will initially treat the
waste from 1,200 dairy cows, with plans for expansion to treat the waste from
the remaining but separated portions of the dairy herd over time.

Jeremy Rowland, Bion's Chief Operations Officer, stated, "We are pleased with
the manner in which the detailed Design Basis Report came together,
leveraging not only the proprietary knowledge of Bion design engineers, but
also key engineering design support from our core consulting team members
from Primus Builders and RETTEW Associates"

Under Pennsylvania's nutrient trading program, credits will be earned for
nitrogen and phosphorus reductions at the Kreider Dairy Farm that can be sold
to offset the discharges of municipal wastewater treatment plants in the
region that are required to reduce their discharges under the Chesapeake Bay
Tributary Strategy.  Using credits in lieu of costly plant upgrades will
result in substantial cost savings to Pennsylvania taxpayers and municipal
ratepayers.
