Permit Information
Permittee: Pitman Farms

PO Box 308
Moroni, UT 84646
Facility Location: Moroni City, Utah, Sanpete County
The ground water discharge permit for the operation of the 15 million-gallon anerobic lagoon located at the Pitman Farms turkey processing plant in Moroni City, Sanpete County, Utah, is undergoing renewal. The lagoon is located adjacent to the Moroni Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The WWTP currently receives industrial wastewater from the turkey processing plant and sanitary wastewater from the City of Moroni. The lagoon was constructed to partially treat and equalize wastewater flows from the processing plant, thereby reducing the loading and allow for constant flow into the WWTP. Ground Water Quality is monitored in one upgradient and two down-gradient monitoring wells with respect to the lagoon.
