Box 1109 <br /> Ripon, CA 95336 <br /> SUBJECT: Manure Management Plan for SKS Enterprises,23709 E Brandt Road,Lodi,CA <br /> 95240 <br /> The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department(EHD)received the revised Manure <br /> Management Plan(MMP)for the SKS Enterprises Poultry Ranch at 23709 E Brandt Road, Lodi on <br /> January 23,2006. <br /> The EHD rejects the Manure Management Plan based on the following findings: <br /> 1. The prevailing wind direction in the MMP is incorrect. <br /> 2. Does not include a statement that all compost operations and storage must be done on concrete <br /> and inside the composting house. <br /> 3. Does not describe how much manure in cubic yards will be removed from Unit 6(high-rise <br /> facility)and how often it will be cleaned. <br /> 4. Does not describe how much manure in cubic yards will be removed from Units 7,8,9, and 10 <br /> and how often the manure will be hauled from the chicken houses to the compost house. <br /> 5. Does not describe how much manure in gallons or cubic yards will be removed from Units <br /> 1,2,3,4,and 5. <br /> 6. Does not describe how often the manure will be removed from Units 1,2,3,4, and 5. <br /> 7. Does not describe how often the manure holding pits next to Units 1,2,3,4 and 5 will be pumped <br /> out. <br /> 8. Does not describe how the lagoon will be managed. How often will the lagoon be pumped out <br /> and where will the pumped out waste be taken? <br /> 9. Does not describe how fly breeding at the lagoon will be handled. <br /> 10. The MMP mentions that"...any manure spread on open land must be disked in within 24 <br /> hours." In San Joaquin County manure can only be spread on farming land at agronomic rates. <br /> The land must be growing a crop and the manure must be disced in within 24 hours of <br /> application. <br /> 11. Does not describe how waste eggs are handled. How are they disposed of and how many waste <br /> eggs are generated every week? <br /> At this time the EHD cannot approve the Manure Management Plan. To completely meet the <br /> requirements of the EHD, follow the above findings. <br /> Submit a revised MMP to EHD within thirty(30)days. <br /> Page I of 2 <br />
