CLIMATE <br />San Joaquin County is characterized by hot dry summers and cool moist winters. <br />There is a high pressure area offshore that reduces the weather systems from <br />entering this area during the summer months. In the winter months, the high <br />pressure shifts southward whereby allowing weather systems to enter the area <br />producing moist cool weather and frequent heavy fogs. The cool moist Pacific <br />winds enter the country from the Carquinez Straight gap. <br />ri_ • •a I• <br />Historical wind data indicates that prevailing wind is from the northwest at <br />approximately 8 miles per hour. High winds occur frequently and are usually <br />associated with the passage of winter storm systems out of the Pacific Ocean. <br />There are approximately 30 people employed by the SKS Poultry Facility, as well <br />as 4 employee houses on-site. These are the first people that would be exposed <br />to any operational odors. The number of delivery trucks entering and leaving <br />the site is limited; however they could be exposed to any on-site odors. <br />The site is bound on the north by KRC Aggregate. They would be the closest off- <br />site receptors pf any odors. KRC Aggregate shares a common boundary just <br />north of the facility. They are a few hundred feet north of the site and about half <br />a mile from the composting facility. There are also a few ranchette homes south <br />of the site that could also be a receptor of odors produced at the site. The closest <br />home is approximately half a mile southeast of the composting facility. The next <br />closest home would be approximately 1 mile plus south of the facility. The <br />remainder of the land around the site is in annual rangeland with no houses. <br />
