Conditional Use Permit No. 25-06 (4-Creeks/De Groot Dairy North)

Conditional Use Permit No. 25-06 authorizes the establishment of a manure separation system at the 4-Creeks/De Groot Dairy North facility located at 2446 Grangeville Blvd. in Hanford, California. The project aims to improve manure handling by separating solids from wastewater through the construction of an 86,000 square foot weeping wall separation system. Key infrastructure includes a dirt ramp with a 10 percent slope, a 15 inch gravity wastewater line connecting to an existing retention pond, and another 15 inch wastewater line leading to a precast box with a lift pump. Additionally, the project features an above-ground manure collection system consisting of a concrete slab, concrete piers, and Hog Slat screens. The project was managed by the Kings County Community Development Agency and underwent environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, resulting in the adoption of a Negative Declaration with no significant environmental effects or required mitigation measures. The Kings County Planning Commission approved the project on October 6, 2025. Construction activities are scheduled to begin with site preparation on September 1, 2025, followed by grading and building construction, with the system expected to be fully operational by 2026. Administrative filing fees totaling 3,038.75 dollars were processed for the permit and environmental documentation.
