NARRATIVE January 20,2005 SKS Enterprise-Gary Silva uses the land to graze range animals although no animals were on the land at this time. Mr. Silva said that he spread grass seed and disced the soil using farm equipment. Mr. Silva and Mr. Maldonado both said that a pipeline runs from a manure lagoon on SKS property to Mr. Silva's property. The pipe connects to a perforated pipe that runs along the surface of Mr. Silva's property. Mr. Silva and Mr. Maldonado both said that liquid manure from the lagoon is pumped periodically onto Mr. Silva's property and spread using the perforated pipe. Mr. Maldonado stated that three truck loads of solid chicken manure and three pumper-truck loads of liquid chicken manure are spread every day on Mr. Silva's property. Officer Oldfather explained to Mr. Silva that there were two Fish and Game regulations being violated at the site. Streambeds were altered without permit, and manure was being discharged into a stream. Officer Oldfather told Mr. Maldonado and Mr. Silva to immediately stop spreading manure on APN 023-180-03 and APN 023-250-02. Mr. McClellon explained to Mr. Maldonado that SKS is in violation of their Manure Management Plan since their plan does not include spreading manure on APN 023-180- 03 and APN 023-250-02. Mr. Maldonado said that he would spread the manure on a dry pad on SKS property. Mr. McClellon explained to Mr. Silva that spreading of manure on his property is considered solid waste disposal, and is a violation of the San Joaquin County Ordinance Code. Mr. McClellon explained that spreading of manure is acceptable only if the manure is disced into the soil within 24 hours, and a crop is planted that absorbs the nutrients added to the soil. Mr. McClellon also explained that there is no documentation that the grasses seeded on this land absorb all of the nutrients added to the soil by the manure. On December 2, 2005, a meeting was held with SKS representatives at the EHD offices. SKS was represented by Rolando Calderon and Lily Balestreri. EHD employees present were Robert McClellon, Michael Kith and Garrett Backus. (See Robert McClellon's narrative for more details.) On December 6, 2005, Mr. Backus received a telephone call from SKS representative, Ms. Balestreri, who stated that Sam Bronson, a rancher who operates at 22990 Brandt Rd., wanted to use SKS chicken manure on his land. Mr. Backus obtained Mr. Bronson's telephone number in order to discuss how the manure would be applied. On December 8, 2005, Mr. Backus received a telephone call from Mr. Bronson. Mr. Bronson stated that he wanted to thin spread the SKS chicken manure on his ranch land. Mr. Backus explained that spreading of chicken manure is only acceptable if the land is specialized farming land that grows a crop, and the manure is disced into the soil within 24 hours of application. Mr. Bronson stated that his land is ranch land used for grazing cattle, and SKS would be responsible for discing the manure into the soil. 3
