There will be no flies inside the harvest and processing room.” USDA will shut us down if we have any flies on the meat. “We don't anticipate any more flies from our indoor corral facility than are attracted to deer manure from wild deer or waste from domestic animals that are left unattended in your backyard. “Manure from the animals housed in the indoor corral will be cleaned out and hauled away,” according to Carson Valley Meats. During special events, when an increased number of animals may be on the property for up to 3 days maximum, manure must be taken out on a daily basis. However, in order to be able to operate, all manure must be taken off the property within 24 hours of harvest, and cannot be stored on the property. Verive stated they are concerned with the smell coming from both manure as well as the harvest itself, and that the manure as well as the animal carcasses will inundate the neighborhood with flies. “Enclosing them does sound like a good thing, but there’s not evidence to suggest it will make a difference,” said Verive. However, during the planning commission meeting, Carson Valley Meats agreed to creating an indoor holding pen so that there would be less of a potential for exposure to the community. “The facility will be kept clean, with fluid waste and fat stored in a refrigerated tank that is regularly pumped by the rendering company and all solid wastes will be treated with industry-standard denature and stored in refrigerated containers until they are also picked up by the rendering company,” said Carson Valley Meats.Īccording to Verive, the initial concern was over the animals being housed in outdoor corrals for the 24-hour holding period prior to slaughter.
The ranchers say ‘oh, the smell isn’t bad,’ but that’s only because they are used to it.”
I don’t want to hang out with animals, I don’t want to smell them. I didn’t move to Lyon County, to Dayton, to Douglas. In addition, the residents stated they have several concerns over the potential for odors to leave the property and reach nearby residences. However, Verive says that she, the other appellants, and the community need to know more about what the design techniques and operation protocols are exactly, and that much needs to be clarified within both the application and the staff report. In the staff report, staff stated that “the site has been designed and operation protocols will be in place to eliminate any problems relating to noise and odor that are associated with the proposed use.”

And then there’s the horrible sounds of the animals being slaughtered, as popularized in the movie ‘Silence of the Lambs.’ Animals make terrible noises as they’re going into slaughter.” There’s a lot of dogs in the neighborhoods - it’s going to be really noisy. “There’s a terrible noise - a very loud bellowing of cattle or squealing of pigs as they’re dropped off,” said Verive.
Verive stated that a major concern of residents is the potential for odors and sounds to reach nearby homes.Īccording to the staff report, the closest homes to the proposed facility are approximately 900 feet, but Verive believes the proper distance should be closer to 3 miles.

You can read the full application as well as the staff report here. The facility will also process wild game brought in by hunters. The facility will also include a retail counter offering prepackaged, USDA certified meats. There is an exception for special events such as the 4H and FFA fairs, which will be allowed three times per year and can be extended to three days each, harvesting a maximum of 120 animals during the week. The facility will be limited to harvesting 60 animals per week, with harvest only occurring one day a week. Carson Valley Meats proposed to build a USDA-certified meat harvesting and processing facility in the industrial zone on Highway 50 East, and their application was accepted by the Carson City Planning Commission.
