SKS will adopt a preemptive odor management plan by monitoring odors at least two times a day each and every day. SKS facility managers, office personnel, and the on-site USDA inspector will evaluate the site for any potential release of the objectionable odors. This will be done in the morning as employees arrive at the poultry facility. The odors will also be monitored in the early afternoon when the Delta Breezes pick up and smells could shift. Through quarterly staff meetings it will be conveyed to every employee that they will all be responsible for reporting any odors smelled to upper management. The findings will be communicated to the main office on site and they will be documented and addressed in a timely manner. If any questionable or objectionable on-site odors are detected by SKS personnel, the following protocol will be implemented: • An investigation will be conducted to determine the likely source of the odor • Once the source of the odor is detected it will be determined what can be done to reduce and / or eliminate the odor • SKS investigators will determine in which direction and how far the odor has traveled by noting the current wind pattern and surveying the site perimeter as well as off-site if possible • If it is determined that possible odor impacts have occurred, they will be addressed promptly • The event will be documented for further operational review All odor complaints should be brought to the attention of SKS personnel. Any SKS employee, delivery driver, and / or neighbors should state their concern to the office personnel. The office personnel will then contact the on-site facility manager (s). They will be responsible for assessing where the odor is originating from. A complaint log will be generated stating the time, date, climate condition (hot and sunny, cold and raining, foggy, etc.), wind direction, and source of odor for review and resolution of the problem if it persists. ,:9
