Appendix I - Project Description <br /> These documents evaluate the optimum cow herd population for the property with an <br /> improved dairy facility. <br /> The facility is designed for 3,000 lactating cows, 488 dry cows, 1,585 bred heifers, <br /> 2,112 heifers (3 months to breeding), and 528 baby calves. The total herd will be <br /> 7,714 head which represents 7,990 Animal Units (AUs). <br /> Facility design criteria and improvements have been analyzed and described in this <br /> report. <br /> Site property improvements and capital improvements will be implemented in phases <br /> over a period of five years (2005-2009). Each phase will be analyzed at the time and <br /> evaluated against current design criteria to insure optimum operational and environmental <br /> issues covering surface water controls, groundwater protection and air quality. <br /> The total property area i 813.13 acres on the following parcels with the Assessor Parcel <br /> Numbers (APNs): <br /> APN Acres <br /> 205-220-02 158.00 <br /> 205-230-02 200.00 <br /> 207-170-10 102.00 - under"Agreement for Manure Transfer& Acceptance" <br /> (see copy attached) <br /> 207-170-17 20.00 -under"Agreement for Manure Transfer & Acceptance" <br /> (see copy attached) <br /> 207-360-09 333.13 <br /> The existing dairy occupies 59.6 acres and is located on the 333.13-acre parcel with the <br /> APN 207-360-09.
