Use Permit Application No. PLN2025-0011 – Couco Creek

Use Permit Application No. PLN2025-0011 authorizes Couco Creek Dairy Biogas, LLC to establish a biogas pipeline injection site on a 307-acre parcel located in the General Agriculture zoning district in Turlock, California. The project involves the injection of biogas from one on-site anaerobic dairy digester and two off-site digesters into a Pacific Gas and Electric natural gas pipeline. The Stanislaus County Planning Commission approved the project on August 21, 2025, with a Notice of Determination filed on August 26, 2025. The project was processed under the California Environmental Quality Act, resulting in a Negative Declaration which indicates that no significant environmental impacts were identified and no mitigation measures or monitoring plans are required. Administrative compliance included the payment of a 2,968.75 dollar environmental filing fee and a 57.00 dollar county documentary handling fee. As this is a state-level land use permit rather than a federal procurement contract, there are no applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses, contract values, or federal socioeconomic set-asides. Project oversight is managed by the Stanislaus County Department of Planning and Community Development.
