The California Clean Air Act (AB2595), <br /> requires areas that are designated as nonattainment to reduce emissions 5% annually <br /> until standards are met. <br /> This project has been determined by the District to have a minimal long-term or <br /> operational effect on ozone precursor and PM10 emissions. However, the District is <br /> concerned with the potential for this project to emit odors. Measures should be taken <br /> to avoid the generation of objectionable odors as a result of this project. Proper <br /> house-cleaning of the slaughter area should be conducted as necessary to preclude <br /> or eliminate odors in a timely manner. Specifically, by-products (viscera, effluent, <br /> etc.) should be handled, treated or disposed of in a manner consistent with the <br /> prevention of objectionable odors that may result in nuisance complaints to the <br /> District. This includes the pond area detailed on the map. Proper treatment of the <br /> effluent that will end up in the pond could be an essential element in an odor <br /> control/elimination program. <br /> Odor complaints have been forwarded to the District in regard to the egg processing <br /> operation. The District wishes to avoid a compounding of this intermittent problem, <br /> and would appreciate efforts on the part of the applicant to avoid odor generation. <br /> David L.Crow <br /> Executive Director Air Pollution Control Officer <br /> Northern Region Central Region Southern liegion <br />
