8 <br /> <br />• Facility Management and Waste Handling Plan Per the University of Minnesota Extension-Horse website, the average 1,000 pound horse <br />produces 56 pounds of manure per day. This equates 1,400 pounds of manure per day for 25 horses and 2,800 pounds of manure per day for 50 horses. Due to the large volume of manure potentially produced by 25-50 horses and the limited storage capacity on site due to wetlands and floodplain, a detailed manure management plan is required. The property owner shall work with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) in creating an approved facility <br />management and waste handling plan. <br /> Findings of Fact Council Resolution No. 21-67 details the findings for the Conditional Use Permit and <br />Resolution No. 21-68 details the findings for the Variance.
