Document Description
The proposed Project includes construction of an anaerobic digester on 1.28 acres of an 8.08-acre parcel owned by Pixley Ethanol, LLC. Manure and Wastewater will be transported to and from the anaerobic digester via pipelines from Four J Farms Dairy, located approximately one mile to the south. In addition, approximately three truckloads per day of organic/food waste will also be trucked to the facility, where it will be mixed with manure prior to digestion. Access to the digester site is from Road 120, a County maintained road. Transport of methane-rich biogas will be transported from the digester to the Calgren Renewable Fuels facility. Calgren will use the biogas to replace a portion of the natural gas currently being used for ethanol production.
