January-2006 JAN <br /> ENVIRONMEW HEALTH <br /> SKS MANURE MANAGEMENT PLAN PER MIT/�__ERVICES <br /> SKS is an agricultural poultry farm that operates in San Joaquin County. <br /> Our facility operates year-round with a 700,000 bird capacity at our Brandt <br /> Rd. location. The wind usually blows from Southeast to Northwest. <br /> The proposed number of birds is I million hens. Our maximum is 1.5 million. <br /> The manure comes out on the manure belts and is dumped directly onto a spread <br /> machine. The tractor will pull the spread machine to the composting house for <br /> processing. <br /> We also have a lagoon for the liquid manure generated by our woody barn birds. <br /> SKS will contact EHD before agreeing to spread manure to any off site <br /> premises. SKS is aware that any manure spread on open land must be disked in <br /> within 24 hrs. The moisture in chicken manure is estimated to be between 60 to <br /> 65 % from the hen and 75 to 80 % in liquid manure. The estimate of manure <br /> that will be generated daily is between 16.5 to 17 tons a day. <br /> Our composting house is operating with one machine and two composting pits. <br /> Each measuring 6x20x250. On one end we dump 22 cubic yards of manure <br /> and 8 yards of wood shavings (30 cubics total). We begin processing for about <br /> 28 to 30 days. We are estimating between 18 and 20 cubic yards a day of <br /> compost and about 88 cubic yards in the future and prior to that we will plan <br /> for more composting pits. We will remove the compost each day and use a <br /> bobcat to pile on the concrete or fill up the trucks to haul to a farming site. <br /> The dimensions for the composting house are as follows— 100 x 600 <br /> total 60,000 sq. ft. The dimensions for the lagoon are as follows; <br /> 438 x 288 x 30. <br /> We pump 6 loads a day and during the rainy season we pump approximately <br /> 20,000 gallons of manure. We do not pump the lagoon often. We usually keep <br /> the lagoon intact to let the bacteria work in the manure pond. <br /> Unit#6 is cleaned with a small kubota tractor. It is pushed to the end and an <br /> electric auger it is brought into a trailer and then it will be brought into the <br /> lagoon or composting house. <br /> SKS hauls the garbage generated on the ranch in a 8x I 6x6 trailer to the nearest <br /> landfill. North County Landfill at Harney Lane, Lodi. We haul approximately <br />
