April 26, 2012 RE: Report of Composting Site Information, Odor Impact Minimization Plan, and Application For Solid Waste Facility Permit The Environmental Health Department (EHD) has reviewed your Report of Composting Site Information (RCSI) and has the following comments: 1. The Chemical agents section states that "The only chemical agents on site are those required in final mixes with finished compost product." Either remove the word "only" or add all other chemical agents on site such as MaxForce. 2. The Climatic conditions and Inclement Weather section states "...and suspended if odor is identified at the near property line." Revise to state "...and suspended if odor is identified at or near the property line." 3. The Sampling requirements section states that "One sample per 5,000 cubic yards of compost..." Revise to state "One sample per 5,000 cubic yards of finished compost product..." 4. The Hours of operation section states "...Memorial Day, independence Day, Labor Day Thanksgiving..." Revise to state "...Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving..." 5. The Visual screening section states "...and the east side of the facility is also landscaping..." Revise to state "...and the east side of the facility is also landscaped..." The EHD has reviewed your Odor Impact Minimization Plan (GIMP) and has the following comments: 1. Revise the Regulatory Contacts section of the OIMP cover page to state "San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department" as one line. 2. The Complaint Response Protocol section states "If the Community Development department..." Revise to state "If the Community Development Department..." 3. The Operating Procedures to minimize odors section states that a fire hydrant located on the southwest corner Of Dos Reis Rd. and Manthey Rd. can be used as an additional water source. Provide a copy of a "Will Serve" letter or permit number for use of the fire hydrant issued by the City of Lathrop. 4. The Incoming Material -Feedstock Processing Area section states that "...covered with additional green material ....over 6 inches..." Revise to state "...covered with additional green material with a thickness over 6 inches..." 5. The Incoming Material -Feedstock Processing Area section states that "If the odor cannot be eliminated off site..." Revise to also include "If the odor cannot be eliminated on site." 6. The Windrow Composting section states that "...will ensure that it is turned so that ever particle..." Revise to state "...will ensure that it is turned so that every particle..." The EHD has reviewed your Application For Solid Waste Facility Permit and has the following comments: 1. The Type of Permitted Wastes To Be Received section states that "agricultural, green and food materials" will be received. Title 14, California Code of Regulation (T14CCR), Section 17852 (a) (5) states that "Agricultural Material means material of plant or animal origin..." This includes animal manure and carcasses. Animal manure and carcasses is not an acceptable permitted waste. Specify the types of agricultural material that will be permitted. 2. The Conformance Finding Information section needs to be completed. 3. The Facility Information section states that the peak traffic volume per day will be "50 vehicles per day, max 75 vpd seasonal." According to the San Joaquin County Community Development Department (CDD) Use Permit (PA -1200011), "The Facility will accept a maximum of 50 trucks per day." Remove "75 vpd seasonal." 4. Section C (If Applicable) of Part 6 (List of Attachments) states "Draft ATC San Joaquin Valley Air District." Include the permit number of the Draft ATC. 5. Section C (If Applicable) of Part 6 (List of Attachments) states that the verification of fire district compliance is "w/in cup." Clarify this statement. 6. Submit an original updated Application For Solid Waste Facility Permit.
