0 0 <br />cool moist Pacific winds enter the county through the Carquinez Straight <br />gap. <br />WIND VELOCITY AND DIRECTION <br />Historical wind data indicates prevailing wind is from the northwest at <br />approximately 8 miles per hour. High winds occur infrequently and are <br />usually associated with the passage of winter storm systems out of the <br />Pacific Ocean. <br />ODOR MONITERING PROTICAL <br />DISTANCE OF ODOR RECEPTORS <br />There are approximately 30 people employed by the S.K.S. Brandt Road <br />Poultry Facility, as well as 7 residences on-site. S.K.S employees and <br />occupants of the on-site residences would be the first people exposed to <br />any operational odors. The number of delivery trucks entering and leaving <br />the site is limited due to Bio -security of the poultry operation. However, <br />delivery truck drivers could also be exposed to any on-site odors. <br />The site is bound on the north by KRC Aggregate. They would be the closest <br />off-site receptors of any odors, however the winds generally originate from <br />their direction. KRC Aggregate does shares a common boundary just north <br />of the poultry facility. KRC is a few hundred feet north of the site and about <br />half a mile from the composting facility. The ranchette homes located south <br />of the site would also be a receptors of odors produced at the site. The <br />closest home is approximately half a mile southeast of the composting <br />facility. The winds do blow in that direction. The next closest home would <br />be approximately 1 mile plus south of the facility. The remainder of the <br />land around the site is in annual rangeland with no houses. Since the wind <br />does blow that direction the off-site residences would be susceptible to any <br />odors produced on-site. <br />METHOD FOR ASSESSING THE ODOR IMPACTS <br />S.K.S. will adopt a preemptive odor management plan by monitoring odors <br />at least two times a day, seven days a week. S.K.S. facility managers, office <br />personnel, and the on-site USDA Inspector will evaluate the site daily for <br />any potential release of objectionable odors. This will be done in the <br />morning as employees arrive at the poultry facility. Odors will also be <br />monitored in the early afternoon when the Delta breezes pick up and odors <br />could shift. Through quarterly staff meetings it will be conveyed to every <br />employee that they will all be responsible for reporting any odors to upper <br />
