cur with the Conditions of Approval listed in the staff report. This property has been used for a feedlot for many years. Mr . Ronyak said he has a contract with the Nestles plant to take the coffee grounds and this contract terminates in five years . At the end of the five years the property will no longer be used for placement of the coffee grounds . He said that virtually no complaints have been registered with the exception of 1987 . In 1987 they made a mistake and learned their lesson. They had to go before the Local Health District and straighten out the problem. The record is very clean except for the 1987 incident. The recent inspection by the Local Health District ' indicates that there are no problems . Mike Quartaroli , 160 Northgate, Manteca, Engineer for the applicant, was present and made the following points: He worked many hours with staff on this project. Concerning the most westerly pond, since the piping is not in place, the liquid effluent is pumped out of the pond. They will submit a Waste Management Plan to the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The field to the north is not adequate to accommodate all of the solid and liquid waste generated by this operation. Piping will be constructed in the Spring or in the Summer to tie it into the irrigation system to irrigate the field to the north. Access to the site for trucks will not cause a problem. The trucks are open, however, all of the material that comes to the site is in a wet state. It does not blow off the trucks . The trucks that come to the site do not use McKinley from Yosemite Avenue, south, because of the railroad crossing. Trucks, therefore, take Airport Way , drive to the site via Woodward Avenue to the site from the south. The Manteca wastewater treatment plant and settling ponds are in the area. A corn crop was plowed under and chicken manure was spread on the parcel . Those two uses produce odor in the area. This is an agricultural area. Cannery waste will cease to be brought to the property in a couple of months and then there will only be coffee grounds coming to the site. Comm. Gillispie asked if there was enough soil on the property to take care of six years of coffee grounds. Mr. Quartaroli responded that the use of the soil that is along McKinley Avenue will be paced so that it will last six years. The contract specifies a 50-50 mix. The soil amendment is sold to landscaping companies and it is not bagged on the property. In answer to a question, Mr . Islas said there are 11, 000 cubic yards of coffee grounds on the property at this time. Mr. Herum asked the Commission to have a deep appreciation of the agricultural setting of the area. The application uses are agri- cultural uses and this is in an agricultural zone. Comm. Morri asked if the cannery mud was coming from strictly San Joaquin County or if it came from adjacent counties . Mr. Herum replied that everything is coming from the Stockton area. Mr . Islas pointed out that in the conditions listed in the staff report, the cannery mud is not included in this project. PC: 9/15/88 -2- MINUTES
