The office is for coordination of multiple off-site dairy digester and pipeline construction projects in Stanislaus County.

The request will also include staging of supplies and equipment for each project. The trailer is intended to be used for a period of no more than 24 months. Access to the site is via County-maintained Faith Home Road. Proposed hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.

The eastern portion of the property will be used to temporarily store liner material for the dairy digesters. Storm drainage will be handled via overland drainage. The site is served by a private well and septic system. The balance of the parcel has been developed with a storage shed used for supplies and tools and a previously approved communication facility.
