The EHD has reviewed your Odor Impact Minimization Plan (OIMP) and has the following comments: 1. The Odor Monitoring Protocol section talks about the egg ranch at 952 W. Bowman Rd. Title 14 Section 17863.4 describes the minimum requirements for the OIMP. The OMIP is a site specific document and the state minimum standards do not require that other sources of odor in the area be listed. Remove the section that references the egg ranch. 2. The Meteorological Conditions section states that "Windrow turning and moisture content and odor will be evaluated when winds are over 25 mph and suspended if odor is identified at the near property line." Revise the statement to state "....and suspended if odor is identified at or near the property line." This statement is repeated throughout the OIMP and RCSI. Revise the statement throughout. 3. The Complaint Response Protocol sections states that "...at the San Joaquin County department of environmental health. If the Community Development department..." Revise the statement to state "at the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department. If the Community Development Department..." 4. The Operating Procedures to minimize odors section states that "This water will be pumped from a neighboring pond, the fire department source about a mile away while the pump is being repaired." Submit a letter or agreement with the owner of the property that owns the pond and/or specifically identify what the fire department source is and where it is located. S. The Incoming Material- Feedstock Processing Area section states that "If this material arrives with objectionable odor it will be covered with additional green material ... or a tarp. It will then be processed and incorporated..." Revise the statement to include odor evaluation and the possibility that the load would be rejected or disposed of at a landfill. 6. The Windrow Composting section states that "For materials that have undergone pathogen reduction (over 15 days), the temperature readings at least once a week." Revise to include daily temperature readings. 7. The Personnel Training section does not mention any record of training. Title 14 Section 17867.5 states that "Operators shall ensure that all personnel assigned to the operation shall be trained .... A record of such training shall be maintained on the site." Add a statement(s) in this section about a record of training. If you have any questions regarding this matter you can contact me at (209) 468-0332.
