Title

PA-2300155 (C) Manure Digester

Description

A Conditional Use Permit to install a manure only anaerobic digester and natural gas clean-up and compression system on a 10-acre portion of a 218.19 acre parcel with an existing dairy. The project includes the installation of the components for solids separation, wastewater recycling, an anaerobic digester, and biogas collection system, including construction of a new lined and covered pond, an 800 square foot office building and a 1,404 square foot utility building to house the equipment. The facility will accept materials for the manure digester from 10 area dairies within a 4-mile radius with an estimated 17 daily truck supply trips from the offsite dairies. The renewable natural gas (RNG) will be trucked away an estimated 3 times per day. The resulting separated solids from the project will be returned to the dairies and the remainder sold as fertilizer. The facility proposes to operate year-round, 7 days per week, with an employee operator on site during working hours (7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.). The Property is zoned AG-40 (General Agriculture, 40-acre minimum) and the General Plan designation is A/G (General Agriculture).
