S and R has three older <br /> environmentally controlled houses that generate about five yards of manure daily <br /> with a moisture content of about 80 percent during the hottest time of year and <br /> about 30 percent during the coolest time of the year. S and R also have two newer <br /> totally environmentally controlled houses that generate about ten yards of manure <br /> daily. The moisture content in these houses may range from 50 percent in the <br /> hottest time of the year to 30 percent in the coolest time of the year. <br /> During the summer month's we dry bed the manure. We disk and rotor till <br /> the manure on a daily basis to dry the manure and eliminate as much odor as we <br /> can. The dry bed area is approximately 100 feet by 300 feet. See site map "C ". <br /> True Organics is the company that comes and picks up the manure once we have <br /> dried it. They come and pick up the manure throughout the summer and into the <br /> fall of the year. At the end of house number four we have a wash out for the <br /> manure handling equipment,this is cleaned out once a week and put on top of the <br /> dry bed to be dried. See site map C. <br /> During the winter months Bruce Mello picks up the manure about 3 times <br /> per week weather permitting. The manure pad is slopped and we pump excess <br /> water from the pad to our pistachio orchard so there is no standing water on the <br /> pad site. <br /> SOLID WASTE <br /> S and R Egg Ranch has a two yard dumpster for garbage that is generated <br />
