Summary
PFG Partners notified Cass County of an MPCA feedlot permit application that would add a 364'×102' barn and expand to 2,496 head of swine (908.4 animal units). The public meeting required by MPCA attracted no comments at the county session on May 11.
At the May 11 meeting PFG Partners presented a mandatory public meeting notice tied to a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency feedlot permit application for a proposed barn 364 feet by 102 feet in Byron Township. The application describes an increase of 2,496 head of swine on the site: 2,100 head in the 55–300 pound class (reported as 630 animal units) and 696 head over 300 pounds (reported as 278.4 animal units), for a stated total of 908.4 animal units.
County staff recorded that the applicants sent 'good neighbor' notices to all residents within 5,000 feet of the feedlot parcel. No comments were submitted at the county meeting. The notice means an MPCA feedlot permit application is active; any permitting decision and its environmental conditions will be made through the MPCA process and are not decided by the Cass County Planning Commission.
