Conditional Use Permit No. CUP25-005- Nitricity Delhi, LLC

The project involves establishing a plant-based organic fertilizer production facility at the northeast corner of Pinewood Street and Collier Road in Delhi, California, within the existing structures of a former agricultural processing site. The facility will utilize a 12,000-square-foot processing and storage building, a 12,000-square-foot warehouse, a loading dock with covered canopy, and an office, with no expansion of the building footprint or parking demand. Interior upgrades include installation of almond shell storage, grinding and sieving stations, mechanical extraction tanks, and a dedicated mixing and packaging area, while exterior improvements encompass an air purification system, utility enhancements, and electrical upgrades coordinated with the Turlock Irrigation District to ensure 100% renewable energy through the BGreen program. Water consumption is expected to be significantly reduced compared to prior operations, and truck traffic is limited to fewer than two trips per day. The project has been granted categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Sections 15301 and 15303, classifying it as a ministerial action with no significant environmental impact, eliminating the need for discretionary review or environmental impact reports. The conditional use permit is issued under CUP25-005 by the County of Merced’s Community & Economic Development Department, with Yaniri Piza serving as the primary administrative contact. No federal procurement elements, including contract clauses, pricing data, line items, payment details, or solicitation numbers, are present in the documentation, as this is purely a local land-use and environmental permitting action rather than a competitive contract award. No formal inspections, acceptance criteria, labeling standards, packaging specifications, or federal representations have been defined, and all operations are governed by state environmental compliance and local regulatory oversight without reference to military, federal acquisition, or commercial contract standards.
