site are leaching into the water table and will cause a problem with the drinking water. Also, he said that the flies from this use will cause health problems.

This type of situation makes property owners in the area fearful. Nuisances and odor problems on property for sale must be disclosed. Even if this permit is only for six years, the permit can be renewed. The odor problem is bad in the evenings . It will be difficult to sell the property in the area. Karen McKee, 504 Mingo, Lathrop, speaking in behalf of the Lathrop Municipal Advisory Council (MAC ) , said that the Lathrop MAC is asking the Commission is disapprove this application. She stated the following concerns: ° Odor Vector control ° Silage pits do not appear to be concrete encased (only one appears to be encased) . This means that the silage is going into the soil. ° Use of McKinley Avenue for trucks ° Garbage spewing out on the roads creates a hazard ° The plastic cover over the silage pits; part of the pits are open creating an odor and a hazardous situation; and children could fall through the plastic and the the material ' in the silage pits would be like quicksand. Ms. McKee said that the Commission could see the results of such a permit even before they approve it. The Lathrop MAC is recommending disapproval of the permit. Louis Pratt, working with the regulatory unit of the the Regional Water Quality Control Board, said he had some concerns about this par- ticular site. He said he inspected the site last Winter and found it to be in violation at that time and a threat to groundwater quality. He said he has a concern that the manure from the feed lot and the wastewater from the silage are to be applied on a 17 acre parcel. He said that assuming there will be 300 head of cattle and the average weight of one animal would be 750 pounds, the nitrogen loading would require 50 acres of crop land (and possibly up to 75 acres of land) to handle that much nitrogen. Cannery waste also contains nitrogen and a certain amount of crop land would be required. A great amount of land is required for that amount to be taken care of. PC: 9/15/88 -4- MINUTES
