CUP #2020-013, Valley AG Processing, ATC project number C-1261169

Valley Pride AG Processing has submitted a proposal to significantly expand its operations at its facility in Madera, California, by increasing daily meat processing throughput from 65 tons to 180 tons, a rise of 115 tons per day. The project is identified under CUP #2020-013 and ATC project number C-1261169, and it is being reviewed under the jurisdiction of Madera County. The anticipated increase in capacity reflects a major scaling of production, which may trigger additional environmental and regulatory scrutiny due to heightened emissions, waste generation, and resource demands associated with expanded operations. The primary point of contact for the project is Annette Kephart, Madera County Planner, with additional coordination handled by Harout Sagherian of the Air Quality Management District and Logan Tomlinson, the Plant Manager. The project was posted for public notice on May 29, 2026, and further details can be accessed through the California Environmental Quality Act online portal.
