Permit Information
Permittee: Corey Cattle Company
Mailing Address: 2210 Jupiter View Way Park City, UT 84060
Facility Location:Millard County, Utah
The Corey Cattle Company has requested renewal of the ground water discharge permit to cover dairy operations at a facility located approximately 10 miles southeast of Delta in Millard County. The facility is currently not operating as a dairy and was converted to a cattle feedlot operation in 2018. Because the feedlot operation is not utilizing the lagoon designed to collect liquid wastewater from dairy operations, routine ground water monitoring requirements described in the ground water discharge permit have been temporarily suspended. The ground water discharge permit is being renewed to preserve the ability to resume dairy operations in the future. An annual sample from the lagoon is required to document it contains freshwater overflow from the feedlot watering troughs and not liquid waste resulting from dairy operations. The permittee is required to notify the Director at least 90 days before dairy operations are resumed so a facility inspection can be conducted and the ground water sampling requirements resumed.
