Document Description
The proposed project is the construction of 10 layer barns. The unwashed eggs from the new barns would be transported by truck to an existing processing plant on the 640-acre project area for washing and packing. The new laying houses would be constructed with a 20.4-acre area located along the eastern boundary of the 326-acre portion of the project area. With implementation of the project, the bird population on site would decrease because of increased cage size per bird.
