Document Description
Foster Farms, LLC of Livingston, CA proposes to demolish 12 existing 20,000 sq ft poultry grow houses at their currently unused Ewing Poultry Ranch and replace them with 8 new 36,000 sq ft grow houses, associated outbuildings and a single residence for use by ranch operators. The proposed project would increase the facility's capacity from 320,100 to 384,000 poultry. An 8.3 acre stormwater retention basin would be constructed in the northeast corner of the project site. Upon completion, the grow houses would be sued to facilitate approximately 6 brood cycles per year and require 2 onsite employees (up to four additional employees during the beginning of each brood cycle). Operations would result in approximately 3.31 average daily trips to the site. Two onsite wells and two septic systems would be installed onsite.
