n C make a recommendation to the LEA on how it will fixed within 24 hours (48 hours on a weekend/holiday). The Operator will implement management practices articulated in this document according to time of year, weather, and source of complaint. After corrective action is taken, the operator will contact the person who issued the complaint and determine if it is addressed from their perspective. If possible, the LEA will join the Operator to review in a reasonable timeframe. The site Operator will document all complaints, results and actions, including date, time and weather conditions, in the Site Operations Log. This log will be maintained on-site at the facility. Operating Procedures to minimize odors The facility operates as a windrow composting facility. The site historically does not have any odor issues. Additional protocols insure that this track record continues. The composting facility is designed to maintain optimal operations to minimize odors. All on- site personnel are trained to implement this Plan and report any discrepancies to the site operator to take corrective action. In the event of equipment failure, substitute equipment, from Hertz Rental center near the facility or from the equipment manufacturer, will be brought in and the LEA and other appropriate agencies will be notified. The facility uses well water to maintain proper moisture during the process. If there are long interruptions in utility service preventing access to this source, additional water will be brought to the site if required for odor control. If this additional water is required, it will be pumped from one of three wells on the Gigli Hay property at 12333 S. Manthey Rd # C Lathrop, CA 95330, approximately 1.5 miles from the property. The site will be operated with accepted composting practices to minimize odors. These include maintaining the appropriate C:N ratio (approximately 30:1), maintaining appropriate moisture content (required by the San Joaquin Air Pollution Control District and CalRecyle), conducting turning to supply aeration to the piles), maintaining pile geometry to ensure no odor, and implement modification (reduce size) if objectionable odor is identified in feedstock and curing piles. The site is maintained by keeping the area around the windrows, and elsewhere on the site, clear of material and ponding water, maintaining the C:N ratio within feedstock piles and incorporation into windrows within a maximum of 72 hours. All equipment will be maintained on a regular basis to ensure proper working order. Emphasis will be placed on the equipment required to reduce odor: grinder, windrow turner, and irrigation watering system, including the addition of a water truck to the site.
