We understand that manure for composting will <br /> r originate from the two new bird houses located on the north side of parcel 023-170-08. <br /> =� Construction on two more houses is planned to begin shortly. Each house will have about 120,000 <br /> birds;two houses presently operate. Each bird house generates about 15 to 20 yards of manure per <br /> day. The manure will be transported to the composting house for conversion to compost. <br /> Composting is a five day process. Composting is required for chicken manure to reduce the <br /> strength of the manure into a beneficial soil amendment. Composting involves rotation and <br /> movement of the compost by machinery during the five day process. The composting house is <br /> rectangular in shape and contains concrete floors and sidewalls. The concrete was required to <br /> prevent the manure and compost from entering the ground. The composting house is covered, <br /> protecting it from rain fall. After.the composting process is complete, the compost will either be <br /> given away and/or may be applied to the land. Later, SKS Enterprises hopes to bag and ship the <br /> F entire production of compost to market for profit. <br /> The percentage of application to the land is estimate to be less_tha 50 ercent initially and irH�- <br /> f <br /> Years no -= fmr,o.st.-The compost Eliot will be applied-to land will be disked into <br /> the gro � .- ,, ^-.� rcnmental Health Specialist, <br /> indicated �G�i � r the stream <br /> drainage water bodies. <br /> Ad_ etailot -� `� ~ .lication areas <br /> and the. lrhc 6riposting ?7 F <br /> process '�1� <br /> 7 4 � �C2 �S <br /> ',,IZThe str a� ng was possible <br /> on 'vI ` �� that <br /> chickei / information <br /> indicat <br /> tr <br /> un the volume <br /> D <br /> losses �� �� Uy the pounds <br /> per ye <br /> 47 <br />
