Document Description
The proposed project will involve the construction and operation of a 7 .3-mile biogas pipeline and biogas upgrading facility. The purpose of the proposed project is to reduce methane emissions from livestock waste white generating renewable energy through a biogas recovery system. The project will connect anaerobic digesters at Cloverdale Dairy, Wreden Ranch Dairy, and Hollandia Dairy, to the proposed biogas upgrading facility. In the future, additional anaerobic digesters and pipeline projects may connect to the mainline and upgrading facility. The additional projects will be subject to County Site Plan Review, which are Ministerial projects that are exempt from environmental review under Section 15268 of the Guidelines for California Environmental Act (CEQA), implemented through Kings County Board of Supervisors Resolution No. 16-001, adopted January 5, 2016.
