Driveways are proposed on both South El Dorado Street and South Harlan Road. The project is on the south side of East Hurd Street between South El Dorado Street and South Harlan Road, French Camp. (Supervisorial District: 3) Environmental Determination: A Mitigated Negative Declaration for this project has been prepared and is proposed for adoption. CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO. PA-2500075 OF FRANK BORGES (C/O FREDERICK TOMATORE) to establish a manure anaerobic digestion facility consisting of two above-ground cow manure "digesters". Located on a 2.9-acre portion of an existing 78.8-acre dairy parcel, the project includes installation of two containment structures measuring 40 feet wide by 180 feet long (7,200 square feet) and approximately 12.5 feet in height with a concrete base with a heavy-duty rubber bladder.

The biogas from the bladders will be converted into biomethane gas (RNG), compressed, and loaded onto gas trucks. Once fully operation it is estimated that the project will generate 12 trips a month.
