Item No. 1 <br /> PC : 10-8-87 <br /> SA-88-7 <br /> Page 4 <br /> evisceration. The meat must be removed from the premises by <br /> the owner(s) of the livestock or chilled and processed at <br /> another facility, such as a locker plant . <br /> Custom slaughterhouses must receive a license from the State <br /> Department of Food and Agriculture . A licensed livestock meat <br /> inspector must be on the premises when the facility is in <br /> operation. It is the livestock meat inspector ' s responsibility <br /> to ensure that the processing and labeling of products meet <br /> State requirements. The meat inspector may be an employee of <br /> the custom slaughterhouse. <br /> The State requires that a log be kept that documents all ani- <br /> mals killed at the facility. A copy of the log entries is sent <br /> to the State Department of Food and Agriculture on a monthly <br /> basis . <br /> Odor : <br /> If operated in a proper manner , the slaughterhouse is not <br /> expected to create odor problems for adjacent properties . The <br /> waste water from the washdown of the facilities must pass <br /> through a 1600-gallon grease trap prior to reaching the open <br /> evaporation pond on the project site . The grease trap will <br /> catch and retain the animal waste that could cause objec- <br /> tionable odors . The material from the grease trap will be <br /> routinely removed by a tallow company. <br /> The Department of Public Works notes that a portion of the site <br /> is located within a flood hazard area, and the entire site is <br /> subject to shallow sheet-flow flooding of approximately one <br /> foot in depth. As a result , it will be necessary to bank the <br /> evaporation pond three feet higher than the 100-year flood <br /> depth. <br /> FACILITIES/SERVICES : <br /> The custom slaughterhouse proposes to utilize an existing private <br /> well for water supply and a septic system for sewage disposal . <br /> The Local Health District is requiring a cross-connection control <br /> device on the water well to protect it against contamination and <br /> back-siphonage . In addition, a new septic system, isolated the <br /> proper distance from the water supply, will be required. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS : <br /> An Initial Study was prepared on August 12 , 1987 . Any poten- <br /> tially significant effects are mitigated via the proposed site <br />
