4 <br /> r7INTRODUCTION <br /> Mr.Ahmed Hussein, Command Sergeant Major(Ret.) United States Army, is proposing to construct an <br /> Ag Building,an Abattoir and livestock holding pens on property he owns at 7300 West Delta Ave. in <br /> Tracy CA. <br /> The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department(EHD)is requiring a Manure Management <br /> Plan(MMP)regarding the on-site animals. <br /> Due to a variety of complaints lodged from neighbors against Mr. Hussein's proposed project,he has <br /> subsequently decided to reduce his originally anticipated animal population by one-half and transport all <br /> generated manure off-site under manifest. <br /> This revised Version of Mr. Hussein's Manure Management Plan specifies the proposed management of <br /> the manure generated and also calculates the anticipated nitrogen output to be transported off-site. <br /> The following are informational items: <br /> 1. The livestock will be mostly confined to pens. Animals may be grazed in fenced-in pasture land on <br /> Parcel 213-020-38,which is 36.46 acres. <br /> 2. Pasture grazing may be conducted by the following animals: cows,goats, and sheep/lambs. <br /> 3. Chicken population is proposed to be approximately 1,500. The chickens will be housed in what is <br /> referred to as environmental houses,whereby manure drops to the ground from cages and is then raked <br /> up and transported to the manure holding pens, referenced below. <br /> 4. Manure from all animal types will be raked up from the pens and stored in a three-sided, roofed <br /> holding pen. The open side will allow easy access for machinery such as a front-end loader. The open <br /> side will face to the east,opposite of the predominate wind direction. <br /> 5. When manure accumulation reaches approximately five cubic yards,or every 30 days,whichever <br /> occurs first, Mr. Hussein will load the manure into his own seven-yard dump trailer. The trailer is <br /> equipped with hooks so that the load can be covered. <br /> 6. Manure will be taken to the Kiefer Landfill (KLF) in Sacramento. Mr. Ken Pereira, Supervising <br /> Waste Management Specialist I,County of Sacramento-Department of Waste Management&Recycling <br /> has conveyed to Mr.Hussein that KLF will accept animal manure waste. The manure can also be <br /> transported to Ralph Hayes and Son, Inc.,which is located approximately two miles from the subject <br /> property for delivery to their customers. <br /> 6. Proper pest control will be implemented if needed, particularly during the warmer times of any given <br /> year. <br /> 7. Animal feeding will be conducted by hand. Feed will be in bulk containers(e.g., bags,totes, plastic <br /> drums, etc.)which will be stored in a locked sea container. <br /> Page -1- <br /> Chesney Consulting <br />
