As a result of nuisance odors caused, Mr. Barthold agreed <br />to relocate the hog farm operation from the City of Ramsey by August 15, 1993. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />On August 17, two separate inspections of the hog farm site were conducted; one by City Attorney <br />Goodrich and one by myself and Building Official Glyn Huff. <br /> <br />We all observed that there were no hogs remaining on the property. We also observed that a <br />commercial cement mixer was in use preparing the recycled food, obviously for pig consumption. <br />Upon inquiry, Mr. Goodrich was informed that the recycled food preparation will continue at the <br />Ramsey site temporarily until the steam machine is relocated to the new Barthold pig farm site. <br />(The steam machine is located within a pole building on the site and provides the means to heat the <br />food scraps in the cement mixer to a non-contaminant point in preparation for consumption by the <br />pigs.) <br /> <br />There were some manure and food scrap deposits found on the property, but these materials will <br />dry up and decompose into the ground. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> Council Action: <br /> For information only. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />City Attorney <br /> <br /> <br />
