ITEM 7.01  REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.


The Company has issued the Press Release related to Initial Certification of Kreider Farms Poultry Credits (attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1) and has placed the Press Release on its website: www.biontech.com .


ITEM 8.01  OTHER EVENTS.


The Company has received a credit certification from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) for the reduction of 559,457 lbs of Chesapeake Bay (CB or Bay) nitrogen (N) from the treatment of Kreider Farms (KF) poultry waste stream. See Exhibit 10.1.  The number of credits was derived from the application of PA DEPs current CB N credit calculation model and is subject to final verification.  The U.S. EPA has recently announced that it will be providing pollutant load results from a newly-developed watershed model in early summer 2011.  The Companys modeling experts have projected that the results from the new watershed model will increase our certified credits from its Kreider Farm poultry project from 559,457 lbs to in excess of 1.5 million lbs of N annually as a result of the expected increase in the delivery ratio associated with the sub-watershed in which this facility is located. Bion will amend its filing with the PA DEP to reflect the expected higher delivery ratio once the new model results are published.
