The Proposed Project includes daily public farm tours (four (4) to five (5) hours in length), bi-weekly outdoor education schools, and occasional special events and workshops. The bi-weekly outdoor education schools would include up to 50 guests per group. Up to 175 guests are anticipated on a daily basis, and up to 300 guests during special events. The Proposed Project would provide bottled water to guests during their visit, including during proposed special events. Water service for fire suppression activities and handwashing under the Proposed Project will be provided by existing on-site wells and water tanks. Water distribution includes water tanks, distribution lines, pumps, source development, and services to the bathrooms. The Proposed Project includes the construction of a container bathroom adjacent to the existing “big barn.” The proposed container bathrooms would include a minimum of three (3) restrooms, with one (1) restroom being ADA accessible. The Proposed Project includes the installation of public restroom facilities that would require the implementation of a septic system.
