Friesen Foods, LLC has acquired an expansive piece of undeveloped real estate, formerly farm land,
(30 18 acres) which lies approximately 8.3 miles south-east of the city of Great Falls, Montana with the
intention of undertaking the development of an expansive value added agri-business commercial food
park.
The scope and scale of the proposed Madison Food Park (MFP) property and project will include,
when complete, a state-of-the art, robotically controlled, environmentally friendly, multi-species food
processing plant for cattle, pigs and chickens and the related further processing facilities for beef, pork,
and poultry.
In addition to the meat packing elements, the project will also incorporate facilities for the
processing of both fresh milk supplied by local and regional dairy producers into a variety cheese
products, as well as a distillery which will source the grain necessary for the production of Montana
branded spirits from cereal crops grown by area farmers within the Golden Triangle.
In addition to food
processing, the facility will also include a large scale packaging, transportation and distribution network
located onsite to insure quality control, bio-security, and management of the product supply chain from
farm input to the consumer's table.
The Proposed Plan of Operations adopted for the Madison Food Park (MFP) campus, as drafted by
the project development team, includes the following assumptions:
All business enterprises will incorporate an annual operating schedule (12 months) including a 260 day
market livestock food processing program. Plant operations during the typical processing day (24hrs.)
will be divided into three (3) eight (8) hour shifts during which a sequence of processing and facility
cleaning, disinfecting, and staging, maintenance and repairs will be implemented. In addition to the
anticipated activities within the primary processing buildings (beef, pork, poultry, cheese), related on-site
MFP campus activities will include alignment of shift workers serving in the related support positions of
transport, rendering, loading, distributio!"l, security, maintenance, waste water management, refrigeration,
etc.
Although the MFP campus may at some time in the future host visitors for specific purposes (educational or promotional), within specific non bio-secure public areas ofthe facilities, exampleDistillery,
Cheese Processing Plant and related processing facilities located within the MFP Development,
the principals have adopted a comprehensive bio
security program for the entire site and have no
intention at this time of offering any tours or related public viewing events.
• Operation Startup Phase I Slaughter & Processing (Beef. Pork, Poultry): One Shift
• Operation Startup Phase 2 I Slaughter & Processing (Beef, Pork, Poultry): Two Shifts
• Operations - Continuous (Beef. Pork, and Poultry): Cleaning Shift
• Rendering Facility (Beef, Pork, and Poultry):
• Waste Water Treatment/Filtration/Distribution:
• Refrigeration (Beef, Pork, Poultry, Cheese):
• Utility(s):
• Cheese Processing Facility
• Distillery:
TOTAL NUMBER OF PROJECTED FULL TIME EMPLOYMENT (FTE) POSITIONS:
3,075 FTE (estimated)
The Proposed Plan of Operations adopted for the Madison Food Park (MFP) campus, as drafted by
the project development team, includes the following assumptions related to transport and delivery:
Extensive daily-weekly transport and delivery services and schedules will be coordinated through an onsite
logistics management team. Initial estimates of the anticipated volume (number & frequency) of both incoming (market livestock & dairy) and out-bound (processed value-added protein & cheese) truck traffic have been benchmarked against industry standards. Typical loaded weight limits per truck-trailer
transport are anticipated to include the following service & delivery schedule:
Monday - Friday (Incoming)
Market Animal - Hogs .....60 Transport Trucks
Market Animal - Beef .....50 Transport Trucks
Market Animal - Poultry.....40 Transport Trucks
Dairy- Bulk Milk .....15 Transport Trucks
Monday - Friday (Out-Bound)
Processed Protein - Hogs.....15 Transport Trucks
Processed Protein - Beef.....5 Transport Trucks
Processed Protein - Poultry.....10 Transport Trucks
Processed Diary - Cheese.....2 Transport Trucks
Direct access to the MFP campus site is anticipated to include the development of both ingress and egress roadways leading into the site from US Hwy 89. Final placement and design of the aforementioned roadways will not proceed until a comprehensive traffic impact study has been completed.
Although the preliminary designs include initial calculations, placement and possible orientation of the identified parking areas in relation to the MFP facilities, at this time the development team is prepared
to only provide projections of potential total number of parking spaces with the understanding that these
are only estimates, and subject to possible change.
Parking spaces for employees, customers and service
delivery vehicles- 1,900.
Although future development of related wholesale/retail enterprises on-site within the MFP campus have been discussed in the context of the Master Planning process, at this time the principals of the MFP development project have no intention of conducting the sale of any of the products produced on-site.
Final selection of the equipment, fixtures and furnishing to be used within the MFP processing
facilities is currently under review by the facility design team. In general, each of the market animal
processing plants will utilize state-of-the-art, robotically controlled or computer assisted euthanizing,
sorting, processing and packaging equipment. At this time, the development and design team anticipates sourcing an assortment of equipment from or through a variety of manufacturers and wholesalers, including the following:
Frontmatec (formerly SFK LeBlanc) - Pork and Beef Equipment;
Epstein Building
& Equipment- Architecture, Engineering and Construction Company; Meyn America- Poultry
Equipment Supplier and Installation.
The MFP design and development team anticipate the drafting and adoption of a comprehensive
Fadilty Materials & Supply Storage Plan that will detail the type, source, scale, location, conditions, and
special handling instructions for each category and item inventoried on-site which will be used in processing, custodial, disinfecting, sanitation,
filtration, treatment, rendering, preservation, etc.
The final Facility Materials & Supply Storage Plan drafted and adopted by the MFP design and
development team will identify any and all storage and use conditions associated with materials and
supplies to be inventoried on-site to insure that the location of all bulk materials is placed within a
covered structure so as to eliminate the potential of creating an unsightly appearance. Included in that
plan will be provisions which expressly address noise(s), glare, and dust and or odor(s) which may be
associated with the storage or use of materials or supplies.
The Proposed Plan of Operations adopted for the Madison Food Park (MFP) campus, as drafted by
the project development team, includes the following assumptions related to the recycling, repurposing,
rendering, storage, transport, treatment and or disposal of both solid and liquid waste streams produced as
either a by-product of the environmentally friendly, multi-species food processing plant for cattle, pigs, and chickens and the related further processing facilities for beef, pork, and poultry, or as a result of
rendering, cheese production, waste water, refrigeration or utilities
In addition, estimates have been
provided for solid and liquid waste stream volumes identified as typical, related plant operations
attributable to employees.
Specifically, initial estimates for the volume of both solid and liquid waste generated directly from the
processing of commercial market livestock and related commodities are as follows:
Solid Waste Estimate (Pork) lbs/day ..........25,400
Solid Waste Estimate (Beef) lbs/day ..........14,500
Solid Waste Estimate (Poultry) lbs/day .........28,250
Solid Waste Estimate (Distillery) lbs/day .........12,150
Solid Waste Estimate (Cheese) lbs/day .........22,300
Solid Waste Estimate (Rendering) lbs/day .........100
Solid Waste Estimate (Waste Water) lbs/day .........75
Solid Waste Estimate (Refrigeration) lbs/day .........100
Solid Waste Estimate (Utilities) lbs/day .........120
Total Solid Waste Estimate lbs/Day ......... 102,995
NOTE:
The MFP project development team anticipates that 99.6% of the solid and liquid waste produced
as a direct by-product of livestock processing will be either recycled by means of anaerobic digestion
technology incorporated into the energy generation equipment design of the facilities which will convert
the waste stream into usable energy (methane gas) to power electric turbines; repurposed as a result of
transforming a variety of animal by-products including, but not limited to, plasma, cartilage, bone, hide,
horns, and hoofs into an assortment of agricultural commodities; rendered into a fmal form which can be
reduced further, transported, frozen and stored temporarily onsite for sale and delivery to industry
partners specializing in the conversion of rendered animal waste into fertilizer, pet food, lard, tallow, and
protein meal.
Furthermore, estimates (volume= pounds, tons, yards) with respect to solid and liquid waste stream
quantities identified as typical, related plant operations attributable to employees include the following:
I 00% of all paper based, glass, and plastic products used in the operation of the MFP facilities will be
recycled onsite and transported off-site for further value-added processing by strategic project partners.
The remaining solid waste generated from processing plant activities which is not recycled, repurposed or
rendered on-site, will be placed in a County-approved waste disposal carrier.
The estimated remaining
solid waste that will be transported off-site to
the local landfill will be between 20-30 yards per week.
The Proposed Plan of Operations adopted for the Madison Food Park (MFP) campus, as drafted by
the project development team, includes the following assumptions related to the development of and
access to a source of water on-site. The development plan for accessing the source of the water required
for utilization at the MFP campus includes the drilling and development of 3-4 vertical deep water wells
which penetrate the Madison Formation which is located below the current site. The development team
has retained the professional services of Dave Baldwin, Senior Hydrogeologist/Senior Water Rights
Specialist at Hydrosolutions, a local consulting firm.
