ACRE STATION MEAT FARM WQ0010034
PERMIT RENEWAL ADDENDUM
Reference Attachment K, Form WWIS-R 02-21
The operation of an 11,840 gallon per day (GPD) wastewater treatment and irrigation facility, permit
number WQ0010034, directly supports the operation of a slaughter / further processing facility for
various proteins. The process begins with slaughtered and slightly processed received proteins, with
further processing such as cut-up and tray -pack taking place for retail sale. The facility does not utilize
any chemicals within this manufacturing process, however there are biological agents such as blood
that have the ability to be contained within the wastewater as a result of the slaughtering and further
processing. The only chemicals that are utilized in any processes are those used in the daily sanitation
process. These chemicals are chlorinated degreasing agents and Dawn Dish Detergent. These cleaning
agents are utilized to clean processing equipment, work areas, and surfaces before final wash -down.
