0 UOS Agenda Date:Auqust 2,2005 <br /> Agenda tte€n No,64 <br /> In order to track improvement,the Department set up a quality performance measure for Olivera Egg Ranch.The <br /> measure monitors adult fly control,as determined by weekly adult fly spot card counts.Adult fly spot cards are a <br /> scientifically accepted assessment tool to determine fly abundance by correlating manure management and adult <br /> domestic fly control at the facility.Fly spots are measured on a weekly basis using 16 established spot card locations <br /> throughout the poultry houses. The weekly average of these spot cards helps the operator manage and consequently <br /> modify its fly abatement program.Fly spots left on the cards by adult flies are counted and an average per card per week <br /> is developed and recorded.An average of 75 or greater"triggers"a preliminary finding of a public nuisance,50 or <br /> greater prompts the facility to increase its abatement activities,while less than 50 becomes a statistical entry in the <br /> database. <br /> The Department has continued to monitor the poultry facility on the same weekly schedule,however,report backs to the <br /> Board are made to coincide with the historical months of increased adult fly activity.Reports to the Board are as <br /> follows: first reporting period will be May,June,and July with a report to the Board at the first meeting in August; <br /> second reporting period will be August,September,and October with a report to the Board first meeting in November. <br /> However,a report will automatically be transmitted to the Board as outlined in the Compliance Agreement in the event <br /> that the weekly inspection discloses excess adult fly spots. <br /> CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACUUN <br /> The Board will not receive information necessary to make potential nuisance decisions regarding Olivera Foods Poultry <br /> Ranch 4140 Canada Road,Gilroy CA. <br /> STEPS FOLLOWING APPROVAL <br /> No action is being requested of the Clerk of the Board.
