Box 32126 <br /> San Jose, CA 95152 <br /> PROJECT: Bowman Road La er Ranch <br /> French Camp, California <br /> SUBJECT: Soil and Groundwater Investigations of the On-Site Manure Pond. <br /> INTRODUCTION <br /> Quality Control Inspection, Inc. has been retained by Olivera Foods to investigate the soil and <br /> groundwater under the larger of two manure ponds at the Bowman Road Layer Ranch Facility. <br /> This study was conducted for two reasons. First, to determine if the on-site manure ponds are in <br /> compliance with State and County environmental regulations and secondly, to assess potential <br /> adverse impact from the ponds. The environmental regulations applicable to the subject ranch <br /> are clay content of the underlying soil material, water table depth and groundwater quality. <br /> It is our understanding the ponds were built in the early 1980s under authorization from the State <br /> Regional Water Quality Control Board. The surrounding land use consists of predominately <br /> agricultural production with extremely low density housing to the north, south and west. To the <br /> east, is a low density residential subdivision with small scale agricultural and horticultural <br /> production. The San Joaquin River is one-half mile to the west. <br /> As the attached plot map illustrates, the subject layer ranch consists of fourteen layer houses <br /> with the potential of holding a total of 600,000 layers. The two ponds are oriented in between <br /> six houses to the north and eight houses to the south. Each house has mechanical scrapers which <br /> deposit the manure at the end of each house for eventual flush into the ponds. <br /> 1 <br /> Our reports and letters are submitted as the confidential property of our clients for their exclusive use.Any publication or reproduction of statements,conclusions or extracts from or <br /> regarding our reports or letters Is reserved,contingent upon the written authorization of Quallty Control Inspection,Inc. <br />
