Item No . 2 PC : 10-8-87 SA-88-9 Page 4 lity is in operation. It is the livestock meat inspector ' s responsibility to ensure that the processing and labeling of products meet State requirements . The meat inspector can be (and generally is) an employee of the custom slaughterhouse . Also , the State requires that a log be kept that documents all animals killed at the facility. A copy of the log entries is sent to the State Department of Food and Agriculture on a monthly basis . Odor : If operated in a proper manner , the slaughterhouse is not expected to create odor problems for adjacent properties . The waste water from the washdown of the facilities must pass through a 1600-gallon grease trap prior to reaching the open evaporation pond on the project site . The grease trap will catch and retain the animal waste that could cause objec- tionable odors . The material from the grease trap will be routinely removed by a tallow company . FACILITIES/SERVICES : The custom slaughterhouse proposes to utilize an existing private well for the water supply and an existing septic system for sewage disposal . The Local Health District is requiring a cross- connection control device on the water well to protect it against contamination and back-siphonage . Storm drainage is proposed as terminal drainage to the South San Joaquin Irrigation District drainage canal . It should be noted that drainage on the parcel as a whole may utilize District facilities ; however , it is strictly prohibited for any drainage from the slaughterhouse operation to enter the South San Joaquin Irrigation District drainage canal . All drainage from the slaughter facility will be contained in an on-site evaporation pond. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS : An Initial Study was prepared on August 12 , 1987 . Any poten- tially significant effects are mitigated via the proposed site plan and conditions of approval . Based on the Initial Study, a Negative Declaration was prepared.
