The permit
application is for the construction of two additional broiler houses to total
six houses at the site in order to manage 185,400 broilers. Approximately 2.5 acres would be disturbed

letters of concern were received by MDEQ staff regarding unpleasant odors in
the area, an increase in the rodent population and other health hazards. MDEQ’s tracking system has no record of prior
complaints regarding the facility, and the staff believes that all application
requirements have been met. The Board voted to approve the permit.
