6.Is any part of the facility located within 1,000 feet of an open tile intake?D Yes 181 No
VII.Environmental Review (complete when construction or expansion is proposed}
Mandatory environmental review is required when the addition of 1,000 or more animal units (AU) is proposed as part of the
construction/expansion at any facility. The threshold when environm ental review is mandatory is reduced to 500 AU when any part of t:-.e facility is located within a "sensitive area''. The iaciiity is wiinin a sensitive area when any of the following apply.
•Any part of the facility is within a delineated flood plain (yes to question 2 above)
•Any part of the facility is within designated shoreland (yes to question 3 above}
•Any part of the facility is within 1,000 feet of a karst feature (yes to question 4 above}
•Any part of the facility is within a vulnerable drinking water supply management area
•Any part of the facility is within a federal, state, or local wild and scenic river district
•Any part of the facility is located within the Minnesota River Project Riverbend area or the Mississippi head waters area
Additionally mandatory environmental review is required for "Phased actions". Phased actions are defined under Minnesota law (Minn. R. ch. 4410} as two or more projects located in the same geographic area and constructed sequentially within three years of
each other by the sam e proposer. When this is the case, the animal units from all projects are combined to determine if environm ental review is required. The following will assist the MPCA to evaluate if your project qualifies as a "phased action".
Do you have ownership interest in another livestock operation that was constructed/expanded within the past three years or are you substantially certain you will be constructing/expanding another livestock operation within the next three years? D Yes 181 No
If Yes, how far away (straight-line distance) is it located from the project proposed in this application? miles
There are also rule provisions to require com pletion of the environmental review process in the event of a citizen petition or upon the discretion of the MPCA. Please see the MPCA fact sheet entitled "When is Environm ental Review Required for Feedlots" (available
on the MPCA website at http://www.pca.state.mn.us/publications/wg-f1-10.pdf) and/or Minn. R. 4410 for further details.

VIII.Animal numbers and animal unit (AU) calculation
Complete the table below to identify the maximum number of animals housed at the facility. All animal numbers and animal sizes used to complete this table should reflect the animal holding capacity of the facility even if the facility does not currently house or
propose to house that number of animals. At no time is the number of animals at the facility allowed to exceed the capacity provided below without first obtaining a permit or permit modification.
Current Capacity - List the current head count capacity for each animal type in column 3 below. For sites with a permit, this should
match the currently permitted number of animals. Next, multiply the AU Factor in column 2 by the number of animals listed in column 3 to get the Current AU Capacity for each animal type (column 4). Finally, add together all AU's in column 4 to get a total at the bottom of the chart. If this application is for a brand-new feedlot site leave columns 3 and 4 blank. (ie. bare piece of ground)
Final Capacity-List the final head count capacity for each animal type in column 5 below. This number should include current
animals plus or minus any expansion or reduction in each animal type. This should reflect the maximum AU capacity requested with this permit application. Next, multiply the AU Factor in column 2 by the number of animals listed in column 5 to get the Final AU
Capacity for each animal type (column 6). Finally, add together all AU's in column 6 to get a total at the bottom of the chart.

Are you transferring ownership of manure?
Manure Management Plan (MMP)
Requirements when Ownership
of Manure is Transferred
Feedlot Program
Doc Type: Permit Information Form
MMP and record keeping requirements for feedlot owners are different when manure ownership is transferred. Manure ownership is
not considered to be transferred (i.e., feedlot owner/operator retains ownership) when you answer "yes" to either question:
1.D Yes 181 No Is manure from the feedlot facility applied onto land that is owned, leased, or rented by the feedlot owner/operator?
2.D Yes 181 No For manure application sites not owned, leased, or rented by the feedlot owner/operator, have you as the feedlot owner/operator or employees working under your direction been given control of the crop and nutrient planning decisions, including planning for manure application rates, timing, and methods?
If you answered "Yes" to either question, you are retaining ownership of manure, and you should see the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) guidelines "Manure Management Plan Requirements" which describe requirements when manure ownership is not transferred (found on the MPCA website at http://www.pca.state.mn.us/index.php/view-document.html?gid=3537).
If you answered "No" to both questions, then you are transferring ownership of your manure and the feedlot operator may use these guidelines to complete a MMP.
If only a portion of your manure is considered to have transferred ownership, then use these guidelines for the manure which has
transferred ownership, and develop the more comprehensive MMP for the manure which does not have transferred ownership.
MMP development
The MMP can be developed by answering the questions below or by using other formats that include all required information in Minn. R. ch. 7 02 0.
Name of feedlot facility or operator: CMS of New York Mills, Inc Registration No.: 111-64 04 7
1.Describe the manure storage and handling system and the expected amount of manure and nutrients that wlllneed to be land applied.
a)How is the manure stored and handled? What happens to the manure from the time it is generated to the time it iseither sold or land applied? Where is it kept? For how long?
Manure is stored either in an existing in ground concrete basin. In the new facilities the manure will be stored in belowbarn concrete LMSA. Manure is stored until the time of field application.
b)How many months can manure be stored before the storage capacity is exceeded?
9months
c)When will manure be provided to the recipient? Which months do you expect that manure will be applied?

f)How many pounds of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P20s) will need to be land applied per year? {Multiply theexpected nutrient content from Part 3.c) by the amount of manure land applied from Part 1.d) to get your answer.)(e.g., 77 pounds N + 1,000 gallons x 1,300,000 gallons= 100,100 pounds of Nor alternatively 45 pounds per ton x3,000 tons = 135,000 pounds of N) {figure P20s using the same calculations)
N: 18/1000*5,440,078 = 97,921.4 lbs N P20s: 8/1000*5,440,078 = 43,520.6 lbs P
g)For new or expanding feedlot facilities, is there enough land potentially available for spreading manure in accordancewith allowable rates? 181 Yes D No
How will you ensure that enough land owners in the area are willing to purchase your manure or otherwise receive
your manure? (e.g., enough land to allow spreading in accordance with state nutrient rate limits)
Agreements with local land operators
2.Describe the manure application methods and equipment.
a) How will the manure be applied? What method(s) and type(s) of equipment do you expect will be used for manureapplication by the recipient of your manure, if known?
Manure is appHed by tank or drag hose applicator
3.Describe your nutrient testing methods, the frequency of testing, and the expected nutrient content of the manureto be applied.
a)How often will manure be sampled and sent to a laboratory for nutrient analysis? {Minimum state requirements are:annual sampling at NPDES-permitted facilities; annual sampling for the first three years and once every four years forother feedlots.)
Well agitated samples will be take annually.

Attachment A-Summary of state requirements for recipients of transferred manure and table for rate calculation
I.Rate limitsMatch N needs -Limit rates so that estimated plant-available
N from all manure and fertilizer sources combined does notexceed expected crop N needs for the upcoming crop unless
rates are limited by P (see section II)Legumes -Crop-available manure N applied to legumes cannot exceed 3.5 lbs N per bushel of soybeans; 50 lbs N perton of alfalfa; 27 lbs N per ton grass hay or pasture; 43 lbs Nper ton grass/legume; 45 lbs N per ton red clover.Base on Univ. of Minn. recommendations -Determine
crop nitrogen needs and the amount of nitrogen availablefrom manure or legumes from most recent publishedrecommendations of the University of Minnesota Extension
Service or another land grant college in a contiguous state.Contact MPCA staff if you need the most recent Univ. ofMinn. recommendations.Base rates on: crop sequence, expected yields and soil
organic matter category when applicable, previous yearmanure credits, method of application, and manure analysisnutrient levels.Calibrate equipment -Calibrate equipment regularly andapply evenly to ensure that the intended rates of application
are consistent with actual rates of application.Summer applications -Plant a cover crop where manure isapplied In June, July or August to harvested fields that wouldotherwise remain without crop cover for the rest of the
growing season. Use a soil nitrate test during the followingspring to credit remaining nutrients.
II.Soll Phosphorus (P) management
Soil P testing -Test soils for Pat least once every fouryears.Avoid P bulld-up along waters -Manage manure additions
(crop P removal can be used as a guide, don't exceedremoval over time) so that soil P levels do not show increasewithin 300 feet of certain waters*, except where soil P is
Insufficient for crop growth (less than 21 Bray P-1 or 16Olsen), or where a 50-100' vegetative buffer is established
along waters.Avoid extremely high P soils -Avoid manure applicationonto fields where soils exceed P levels in the table below,
unless a plan is submitted to the MPCA or County FeedlotOfficer that describes how water pollutron will be preventedwhen applying manure to these soils.
Soil Test Outside of 300 Within 300 ft from waters* Method ft from waters* and o n tile intakes
* "waters" refers to lakes, streams, lntennittent streams,weUands over 10 acres, and drainage ditches without protective benns.

IV.Keeping records
The cropland manager where manure is applied must keeprecords for at least three years {six years if applying manure
near waters):•Manure nutrient test rosults {provided by feedlotowner), Field locations and acreage, Dates of application and timing of incorporation, Amount of
manure applied per acre, Total N and P applied oneach field, and Soil nutrient test results.•If manure is applied in during the winter, record theland slopes, distance to nearest water, and field
conservation practices in place.
V.Short-term stockpiling practicesFollow all stockpiling setbacks for waters and conduits towaters (ranging from 50 to 300 feet); avoid sandy soils andhigh water table soils (<2'); avoid slopes over 6%; usediversions if slopes exceed 2%; and keep records as
required in Minn. R. ch. 7020.2125. The stockpile size mustnot exceed the amount of manure needed to supply nutrientneeds to the tract of land where applied.
VJ. Spills
If manure spills occur that have the potential to pollute waters, immediately contact the state duty officer at 1-800-422-0798.
VII.Manure rate calculator
If the P management requirements (see Section II) are beingmet, the calculator can be used at the time of application to
determine the manure rate to apply at N-based rates.
Field location: Twnsp Sec_ 1/4_
Step 1. N needs of crop (lb/acre) base the N needs as described in Sec I Step 2. Total N In manure (lb/ton or

VI.Environmental Review (complete when construction or expansion is proposed)
Mandatory environmental review is required when the addition of 1,000 or more animal units (AU) is proposed as part of the
construction/expansion at any facility. The threshold when environmental review is mandatory is reduced to 500 AU when any part of the facility is located within a "sensitive area". The facility is within a sensitive area when any of the following apply.
•Any part of the facility is within a delineated floodplain (yes to question 3 above)
•Any part of the facility is within designated shoreland (yes to question 4 above)
•Any part of the facility is within 1,000 feet of a karst feature (yes to question 5 above)
•Any part of the facility is within a vulnerable drinking water supply management area
•Any part of the facility is within a federal, state, or local wild and scenic river district
•Any part of the facility is located within the Minnesota River Project Riverbend area or the Mississippi headwaters area
Additionally mandatory environmental review is required for "Phased actions". Phased actions are defined under Minnesota law
(Minn. R. ch. 4410) as two or more projects located in the same geographic area and constructed sequentially within three years of each other by the same proposer. When this is the case, the animal units from all projects are combined to determine if environmental
review is required. The following will assist the MPCA to evaluate if your project qualifies as a "phased action".
Do you have ownership interest in another livestock operation that was constructed/expanded within the past three years or are you substantially certain you will be constructing/expanding another livestock operation within the next three years?
D Yes ffJ No
If Yes, how far away (straight-line distance) is it located from the project proposed in this application? miles
There are also rule provisions to require completion of the environmental review process in the event of a citizen petition or upon the
discretion of the MPCA. Please see the MPCA fact sheet entitled "When is Environmental Review Required for Feedlots" (available on the MPCA website at https://www.pca.state.mn.us/quick-links/environmental-review and/or Minn. R. 4410 for further details.

VII.Animal numbers and animal unit (AU) calculation
Complete the table below to identify the maximum number of animals housed at that facility. All animal numbers and animal sizes used to complete this table should reflect the animal holding capacity of the facility even if the facility does not currently house or
propose to house that number of animals. At no time is the number of animals at the facility allowed to exceed the capacity provided below without first obtaining a permit or permit modification.
Current Capacity -List the current head count capacity for each animal type in column 3 below. For sites with a permit, this should
match the currently permitted number of animals. Next, multiply the AU Factor in column 2 by the number of animals listed in column 3 to get the Current AU Capacity for each animal type ( column 4 ). Finally, add together all AU's in column 4 to get a total at the bottom of the chart. If this application is for a brand-new feedlot site leave columns 3 and 4 blank. (ie. bare piece of ground)
Final Capacity -List the final head count capacity for each animal type in column 5 below. This number should include current
animals plus or minus any expansion or reduction in each animal type. This should reflect the maximum AU capacity requested with this permit application. Next, multiply the AU Factor in column 2 by the number of animals listed in column 5 to get the Final AU Capacity for each animal type ( column 6). Finally, add together all AU's in column 6 to get a total at the bottom of the chart.

7. Motion by , second by and unanimously carried, to (deny/approve) the request of Dr. Ala L. Lysyk Smith
for the forgiveness of penalty in the amount of $106.96 resulting from the late payment of the Pay 2017 property taxes on Parcel 71-004-99-0746-000 (Lot 2 Block 1 - Meadow Hills).
The following is from an email received form Dr. Ala L. Lysyk Smith dated Thursday, December 14, 2017 –
Dear County Commissioners:
My name is Dr. Ala L. Lysyk Smith and I am requesting a pardon of the tax penalty assessed to me due to an
inadvertently missed tax payment for the 2nd half of 2017.
R#71004990746000 was missed being paid while I paid a group of other property taxes on 10/12/2017.
Page | 4
Reason: In August 2017, my entire identification portfolio was stolen, including all of my business and personal bank
account numbers. I had set up BILL Pay payments for the 2nd half property taxes due. However, all BILL Pay accounts were deleted due to closure of the stolen accounts. In a hurried fashion, I promptly went directly to the County Treasurer’s office and paid all of the R #’s I owed on, but somehow, this one was missed. All others were
paid by check for a total sum of 2067.00. I received a notice “courtesy reminder” on 12-31-17, almost 2 full months past the tax deadline. In that 2 month period I accrued, unknowingly, 106.96 in penalty. Please consider pardoning this penalty due to the scenario described above. When you review my 22 years of records, you will see that not only
is my credit superior, but I do not neglect payment of nay taxes knowingly.
I look forward to your response and consideration,
Regards,
Dr. Ala L. Lysyk Smith
NOTE: Full payment of tax and penalty were made with Lori at the County Treasurer’s office on 12-14-2017.
