• Estimate the total quantity in yards or tons per day and per acre <br /> The site will receive a maximum of 60 yards (30 tons) on a daily basis. <br /> There is 78+ acres at the site where the residue will be delivered. The Da <br /> Silva Bros. Dairy owns and/or leases over 600 acres within a half mile <br /> radius of this site. The owners currently feed approximately 1,100 cows <br /> at the delivery site, 600 cows at their dairy at 16551 S. Henry, and 300 <br /> heifers at 17020 S. Henry. <br /> • Provide a work plan for animal feed <br /> Da Silva Bros. will receive food processing residues as supplemental feed <br /> for dairy cattle and heifers. The residue will be delivered to the dairy on <br /> S. Steinegal and placed on an existing concrete pad along with all the <br /> other feed commodities (silage, cotton seed, almond hulls, hay, etc.) <br /> Prior to use, loose feeds are temporarily stored between "Ag Bags" that <br /> contain silage. The large "Ag Bags" act as bunker walls and keep all the <br /> feeds, and any free liquids, on the concrete. The nearest watercourse is <br /> an O.I.D. ditch which borders part of the entrance road. The ditch is <br /> approximately 3 to 4 feet higher in elevation than the concrete receiving <br /> pad. <br /> All feed commodities, including the food processing residues, are loaded <br /> (using a Fiat-Allis front loader) into a feed truck (White Truck with Laird <br /> mixing/delivery body) and blended together. The blended feeds are <br /> delivered to mangers at all three sites listed above. Approximately 2,000 <br /> animals are fed twice per day. At the maximum potential delivery (30 <br /> tons/day), the animals would receive only 30 pounds of food processing <br /> residue per animal per day, which is easily consumed within 24 hours. <br /> • Describe all contingency plans for selecting alternative sites and <br /> provide the location of all alternative sites should weather conditions <br /> warrant this condition <br /> Da Silva Bros. operates a dairy at 16551 S. Henry which is almost <br /> identical in size (acreage) to the primary site referenced above. The S. <br /> Henry site also has an existing concrete pad where silage in "Ag Bags" is <br /> stored. This site, or a combination of both sites, could be utilized on a <br /> contingency basis to receive food processing residues. <br /> Due to the small volume of food processing residue, and the large size of <br /> the Da Silva Bros. operations, it seems unlikely that any additional <br /> contingency plans or alternative sites would be necessary. <br /> Page 2 <br />
