Use Permit Application No. PLN2014-0108 - Isabel Machado Dairy

Request to expand an existing dairy facility, operating on a 59.39± acre parcel in the General Agriculture (A-2-40) zoning district, to allow for an increase to the herd size, from 1,260 mature cows to 2,860. This project requests to expand the number of combined milk and dry cows from 1,180 mature cows (1,100 milk cows and 80 dry) to 1,700 mature cows (1,500 milk cows and 200 dry); and to increase support stock numbers from 80 to 1,160. The total number of animals is to increase by 1,600. Consequently, additional waste will be generated. The dairy’s existing Waste Management Plan (WMP) and Nutrient Management Plan (NMP) were revised to account for the increase in waste and resulting storage and disposal needs associated with the increase in herd size. The updated WMP estimates that the expansion will increase the daily manure production by 1,900 cubic feet, for a total of 4,586 cubic feet per day, which equates to approximately 4,117,194 gallons and 550,389 cubic feet of manure per year (pre-separation). The estimated wastewater storage needs will be accommodated by the existing capacity of the on-site lagoons.
