They are AGSCO Farm Repair, Suprema Cheese, and Aartman Trucking. AGSCO Farm Repair will not be modified. Several modifications are proposed for the Suprema Cheese processing facility. The 5-acre facility is located on a portion of a 19-acre parcel that also includes a vacant pasture and a pond. In addition to the 19-acre site, the cheese facility discharges to an off-site half-acre pond on a 40-acre parcel directly across Airport Way. This facility is operating at full capacity, processing 35,000 gallons of milk to produce 30,000 pounds of cheese and 31.500 gallons of whey waste. The facility operates 24 hours a day, Monday through Saturday, with a total of 64 employees, 30 on the maximum shift. Fifteen of the existing parking spaces are located on adjacent residential lots owned by the De Groot family. No change is proposed for those parking areas. The applicant proposes to eliminate the existing on-site pond, remove 9,000 square feet of an existing cheese processing facility, and construct a new 15,000-square-foot addition for a net 6,000-squ2re-foot expansion of the facility. A cheese waste water treatment facility is proposed. In addition, the applicant proposes to add two 30.000-gallon milk storage tanks and relocate two 30,000-gallon milk storage tanks and one 20.000-gallon milk storage tank. A 500-square-foot storage building and a loading dock are also proposed. A 3.650-square-foot shop is to be converted to storage. An additional 61 parking spaces are proposed for a total of 87 automobile parking spaces. The proposed facility is expected to operate at full capacity, processing 120,000 gallons of milk per day and producing 100,000 pounds of cheese and 108,000 gallons of whey waste. The new operation will require 85 employees, with 35 on the heaviest shift. Also included in the request is a trucking company (Aartman Trucking Company), which is currently on the site without the benefit of permits. The trucking facility currently operates with 20 tanker trucks. Each truck picks up and delivers milk in a loop within the south County area and then returns to this yard. Approximately six of the trucks return loaded with milk for the processing facility. The trucking operation `. San Joaquin County UP-94-4/De Groot Community Development Page 1
