O'Brien County received a construction permit application from MK Swine LLC for an existing swine finishing confinement in Section 34 of Center Township. The application proposes an increase that would raise the operation's capacity to 1,400 animal units, which the minutes equate to 3,500 head of swine finishers. The county record notes no written or oral comments had been submitted on the application at the time of the Jan. 2 meeting and states that the Iowa Department of Natural Resources will be notified.
The minutes do not record a Board decision on the permit application itself; they record receipt and the intended notification to the state agency. The County did not include public comment or a hearing record in these minutes; the transcript records only that the application was received and will be forwarded to the Dept. of Natural Resources for review under state permitting procedures.
