Use Permit Application No. PLN2018-0054 - S & S Dairy, Inc.

Document Description: Request to expand an existing dairy operation located on a 106.93 acre parcel by increasing herd size from 1,380 combined milk and dry cows to 2,900 combined milk and dry cows (2,500 milk and 400 dry). The herd is also comprised of an additional 850 bred heifers (15-24 months), 400 heifers (7-14 months), and 300 calves (4-6 months). The project will involve the demolition of four existing structures and the construction of five new free-stall barns with flush lanes totaling 175.350 sf for animal housing. The existing dairy operation includes a hay barn, milking parlor, equipment storage, and commodity barn. All proposed structures will be constructed within the existing dairy production area boundary. The estimated wastewater storage needs will be accommodated by the existing capacity of the three on-site lagoons. The nutrients produced by the herd will be utilized to fertilize approx 32 parcels totaling 1,210+/- farmable acres. A waste management plan and nutrient management plan are attached. The project site has a private domestic well and two septic-leach systems. A 20 ft PG&E easement runs north-south and adjacent to the project site's eastern property line.
