Make an application for a full Solid Waste Facility Permit (SWFP) per Title 27, commencing with section 21450. 2. Contact the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) to discuss the proposed changes to the site. Submit existing approvals or requirements by the RWQCB with the SWFP application. 3. Include the "draft ATC' with SWFP application. 4. Submit a Report of Composting Site Information (RCSI) per Title 14 Section 17863. 5. The section titled "Incoming material -Feedstock Processing Area" states that non- compostable materials are separated and placed in a covered dumpster. Indicate the different types of non-compostable materials and the different dumpsters they will be placed in (i.e. regular trash, treated wood waste, hazardous materials, etc.). List at least one landfill the material will be taken to for disposal. State in the RCSI that daily temperature readings will be taken from the feedstock and ground material. 6. The section titled "Composting material -Windrow area" does not state the vector control methods that will be utilized. List these methods. Explain in the RCSI how the windrows will undergo pathogen reduction (state the minimum temperatures, turnings, and time). Throughout the Project Description, the word "regime" is used. Revise the word to "regimen." Describe the water regimen (what it is, the process, source of the water, etc.) in the RCSI. 7. For the section titled "Fire Protection," contact the Lathrop/Manteca Rural Fire Department for the review of onsite water source/storage. The fire department needs to determine if water volume is adequate for the site. 8. For the section titled "Site Improvements," the onsite traffic patterns are a concern. The proposed project indicates that there will be 50 to 75 trucks that may enter the facility. Frewert Road is a narrow two lane road. The area for onsite queuing is limited. Please provide details on vehicle queuing. The initial study included an Odor Impact Minimization Plan (OIMP). The EHD has the following comments: 1. The Odor Monitoring Protocol section states that "...the site operator, or designated employee, will investigate to determine if there is any off-site odor by walking the perimeter of the property." Indicate what time of day the perimeter will be walked.
