r�� INTRODUCTION Mr. Ahmed Hussein, Command Sergeant Major(Ret.) United States Army, is proposing to construct an Ag Building, an Abattoir and livestock holding pens on property he owns at 7300 West Delta Ave. in Tracy CA. The San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department(EHD) is requiring a Manure Management Plan (MMP) regarding the on-site animals. Due to a variety of complaints lodged from neighbors against Mr. Hussein's proposed project, he has subsequently decided to reduce his originally anticipated animal population by one-half and transport all generated manure off-site under manifest. This revised Version of Mr. Hussein's Manure Management Plan specifies the proposed management of the manure generated and also calculates the anticipated nitrogen output to be transported off-site. The following are informational items: 1. The livestock will be mostly confined to pens. Animals may be grazed in fenced-in pasture land on Parcel 213-020-38,which is 36.46 acres. 2. Pasture grazing may be conducted by the following animals: cows,goats, and sheep/Iambs. --:?hDC1 3. Chicken population is proposed to be approximately 1,500. The chickens will be housed in what is referred to as environmental houses, whereby manure drops to the ground from cages and is then raked up and transported to the manure holding pens, referenced below. 4. Manure from all animal types will be raked up from the pens and stored in a three-sided, roofed holding pen. The open side will allow easy access for machinery such as a front-end loader. The open side will face to the east,opposite of the predominate wind direction. 5. When manure accumulation reaches approximately five cubic yards, or every 30 days, whichever occurs first, Mr. Hussein will load the manure into his own seven-yard dump trailer. The trailer is equipped with hooks so that the load can be covered. 6. Manure will be taken to the Kiefer Landfill (KLF) in Sacramento. Mr. Ken Pereira, Supervising Waste Management Specialist I,County of Sacramento- Department of Waste Management& Recycling has conveyed to Mr. Hussein that KLF will accept animal manure waste. The manure can also be transported to Ralph Hayes and Son, Inc., which is located approximately two miles from the subject property for delivery to their customers. 6. Proper pest control will be implemented if needed, particularly during the warmer times of any given year. 7. Animal feeding will be conducted by hand. Feed will be in bulk containers(e.g., bags,totes, plastic drums, etc.)which will be stored in a locked sea container. I I Page -1- Chesney Consulting
