Additionally, HSUS has learned that Olivera may be using a pivot sprayer to spread <br /> manure, which further violates its own MMP and is likewise inconsistent with its <br /> Rule 4570 Permit Application. <br /> HSUS, on behalf of its members in the French Camp, Lathrop and Stockton <br /> communities request that: <br /> 1. A representative be sent to Olivera Egg Ranch as soon as practical to <br /> investigate the manure management practices and ensure that the company <br /> is in full compliance with all applicable laws, and manure management <br /> plans. <br /> 2. Formal findings be made regarding Olivera's land application of liquefied <br /> chicken manure regarding the location, method, and rate of land application, <br /> i.e. if Olivera is applying manure on fields which drain to the nearby San <br /> Joaquin River, how frequently it is being done,the duration of land <br /> application,how much manure is being land-applied, and methods Olivera <br /> is using to apply the manure. <br /> 3. The SJVAPCD advise HSUS as to the status of Olivera's pending 4570 <br /> permit application given the District's findings regarding whether manure <br /> management practices actually employed by the facility are fundamentally <br /> different than those described its 4570 permit application, as described <br /> above. <br /> Please respond in writing within two weeks regarding the status of this complaint. <br /> We look forward to your response and please feel free to contact us with any <br /> questions or concerns. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Jessica Culpepper <br /> Staff Attorney <br /> Peter Brandt <br /> Senior Attorney <br /> The Humane, Society of the United States <br /> 2100 L Street NW <br /> Washington, DC 20037 <br /> t.
