Agromin-Limoneira Commercial Organics Processing Operation

Agromin-Limoneira Commercial Organics Processing Operation

The Applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and NCZO Text Amendment to permit the expansion of an existing 15-acre agricultural organics processing facility to a new 70-acre commercial organics processing operation that would process food and green material delivered to the site and package for sale mulch, compost, and wood chip materials. The proposed Project would utilize a combination of open windrows, Covered Aerated Static Piles (CASPs), and Anaerobic Digestion (AD) systems to process organic materials into saleable compost and mulch products. The NCZO Text Amendment proposes to amend Section 8107-36.4.1(a), Standards Relating to Organics Processing Operations (Includes Biosolids, Composting, Vermicomposting, and Chipping and Grinding).
