The quantity of materials handled at a site used exclusively <br /> for food processing residuals requires special attention and equipment to preclude <br /> creation of nuisance conditions. <br /> The trucks will dump in rows. These rows will be spaced 20 feet apart and are <br /> assisted by markers. The waste is spread to a one to three inch depth and allowed to <br /> air dry for 12 hours. At the end of 12 hours repeated passes are made over the <br /> material using a spring tooth cultivator. The purpose is to expose wet materials to <br /> enhance solar evaporation. This process is repeated every 12 hours. The spring tooth <br /> cultivation shatters the dry crusts formed by drying wet waste materials and exposing <br /> more surface area for drying.This shattering and exposing increases drying of material <br /> from 5 to 4 days. <br /> A four wheel farm tractor will be pulling a 12 foot wide drag scraper which will be <br /> spreading the wet waste. Every 12 hours the loads will be spring toothed. Within five <br /> days total evaporation will occur. The procedural schedule has been designed to <br /> interrupt the normal cycle for fly development. <br /> The recommendation is that this site be exempted form a State Solid Waste Facilities <br /> Permit and be under the jurisdiction and inspection of a County Environmental Health <br /> Permit. <br /> 3) F. & W. Cattle #1, Cannery Waste Site <br /> F. & W. Cattle site #1 is located at 19015 S. Mckinley Avenue in Manteca. The site <br /> encompasses an area of 32 acres. The depth to groundwater.is approximately 10-20 <br /> feet. The estimated amount of waste received by this site in a 24 hour period is <br /> approximately 100 tons. The site receives waste of tomatoes, vines, peaches, mud, <br /> apricots etc. for the duration of the canning season. <br /> This site receives both animal feed and soil ammendment wastes. Upon arrival the <br /> non- feed waste, also known as cull materials, such as mud, peach waste, apricot <br /> waste and vines are placed on the soil amendment site. Cull materials are applied in <br /> a cyclic fashion to the three fields comprising the 32 acre site where upon it is disced <br /> into the soil within 72 hours. Drying of the material is enhanced by the use of a spring <br /> tooth. The rate of application is ten wet tons to the acre one to three inches thick. <br /> Cull materials are utilized for nitrogen and soil enrichment. <br /> The estimated nitrogen is to be applied within the utilization rate of barley at 125 lbs <br /> of nitrogen per acre per year. The rate of application shall be ten wet tons to the acre <br /> 3 <br />
