Initial Study Application No. 7608, Unclassified Conditional Use Permit Application Nos. 3642, 3643, 3644, 3645

Five Points Pipeline, LLC is seeking approval to modify existing permits at its facility near 93656, California, to enable two currently installed generators to operate using digester gas alongside their existing natural gas fuel source. This change aims to enhance operational flexibility and sustainability by incorporating renewable biogas derived from organic waste digestion, reducing reliance on fossil fuels without expanding the facility’s physical footprint or increasing overall emissions beyond permitted levels. The application falls under a series of unclassified conditional use permits, requiring review and approval by Fresno County authorities to ensure compliance with local land use, environmental, and air quality regulations. The project is being evaluated through an initial study process, and key stakeholders include Jeremy Shaw, the County Planner overseeing the permitting process, Jacob Torrez from the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District serving as the Air Quality Specialist, and Allison Michael of Maas Energy Works representing the applicant. The submission was posted on June 4, 2026, and all relevant documentation and updates can be accessed via the California Environmental Quality Act online portal. No additional funding or procurement opportunities are involved, as this is strictly a regulatory modification request to expand allowable fuel sources at an existing industrial site.
