February 8 , 1993 Y ! Mr .Richard Larrouy/Associate Planner San Joaquin County Committee Development Department 1810 E . Hazelton Avenue Stockton , CA 92505-6232 Subject: Proposal of Manure Management on 30636 Carter Road I have been in layer business for over eight years . We have six ranches around San Joaquin and Stanislaus County which have over six hundred thousand layers . We always kept our sanitation in good order , never have problems with neighbors concerning flies and odor . This is our intention to minimize any potential problem . We are planning 4 stages after we have bought the Kleinfeld: Phase 1: We will place approximately 125 ,000 layers in the three high rise buildings ( House No . 17 , 18 & 19 ) . The original design of those houses is to keep manure for one flock cycle ( e .g . two years ) . These houses have fans under the cages so they can dry the manure and as a result will not produce flies . If we purchase this ranch we would clean it up a least once a year ( before summer time ) , make sure there is no water leakage from the drinkers , and check that the fans are functioning . If there are any indications of larve , we will then spray to kill the flies . f1 Phase 2: We are going to fix up house No . 1 & 2 or 13 & 14 which can house approximately 50 ,000 layers . This is a convential type , of layer house . We would clean up the manure at leas once a week p`-r ( at summertime or, when the weather permits ) and -the manure in !✓""'� our open field . V%n weather does not permit , we will consider to use the ponds for emergency use only . _ ,! vw G�w Phase 3: Convert house No . 6 , 7 , 9 , 10 , 11 and 12 to brooding houses with a total capacity of 125 ,000 pullets . The house will be bedded with wood shavings or rice hulls . This will not produce any flies or odor problems . Phase 4: When this ranch reaches 300 ,000 layers , then we will consider to have a manure compost system . I have discussed this with Dr . Syed Bokhari , Poultry Farm Adviser of San Joaquin , Stanislaus & Merced Counties on February 3 . He feels the above outline is the proper way to handle the manure . Please review my proposal and if you have any questions , please contact me . Sincerely , William HuangOp TV ►��L� -sb PILor�u E 't'craA-r.�C jLl�G.dr2 U �.1
