Renewal of three use permits to allow digested municipal sewage to be spread upon and disked into the topsoil on approximately 3,000+ acres in the AG-20, AG-20(F), AG-80, and AG-80(F) zones as a use not otherwise provided for in the AG zone (pursuant to Zoning Code Section 110-30.5). NOTE: The following use permits are being renewed: Use Permits numbered: 92-UPB-0726, 96-UPB-XXB-0323, and 96-UPB-0576). I have many more documents, but this initial study report failed to mention the entire neighborhood across the street from this ranch. And we were here first, since 1900 - 1970's and currently. This use permit is due for renewal in 2010, this community wants this gone but I noticed it looks like Silva is taking stepps to expand the operations. A new large metal building on top of a hill and two huge chiller units just arrived a couple of days ago.
