BACKGROUND <br /> Food processing plant residuals have always been a problem. <br /> If disposed of at a conventional sanitary landfill or in any other <br /> random location it can create a serious health hazard. Fly and <br /> insect larva can breed in the moist residue, causing disease or <br /> epidemics among humans and livestock. <br /> Although the concept of incorporating food waste into the soil <br /> as a fertilizer has been practiced for hundreds of years, the <br /> technique applied to this practice have been refined over the last <br /> 20 years. <br /> SITE LOCATION <br /> "Spread and Disc" operations for the 1991 season were carried <br /> out at 15943 Harney Lane (Site) , approximately six-miles southeast <br /> of Lodi.
