RECD IED NOV X13 2015 San Joaquin 1111115 Community Developmul-t San Joaquin County Development Department, Attn: Megan Aguirre We are writing this letter in regards to application number PA-1500200 (SA).This application is to expand the existing poultry farm located.at 30636 E. Carter Rd, Escalon. We are the owners ofthe 41.33 acre parcel located on the southeast corner of Henry and Carter Roads. We are the nearest neighbor to this poultry farm and have resided at our 9336 S. Henry Rd address for 22 years. We are currently finishing up the_constraction of our new family home. The nearest proposed expansion project building would be approx. 525 ft. from the back of our new home. We have several concerns in regards to this proposed project. Due to our experience in the past,we,along with several neighbors have had to contact Environrnentai Health due to multiple problems during the operation of this poultry farm. The expansion of this farm"could"result in a reoccurrence of our previous problems which-were not only a nuisance,but a health risk as well. Past problems ;with property owner, William Huang: 1. Flies-Environmental Health found excessive fly breeding due to the amount of manure and dead birds. Our properties were sprayed-by Toaquin County to help with this problem. 2. Rodents- Environmental Health found-an excessive-amount of rats and mice throughout the farm. These rodents came onto our property=on a daily basis. 3. Runoff waste water and mosquitos-Environmental Health found waste water runoff coming onto our property and draining into a natural drain/local stream. 4. Odors from manure and incinerator-manure and burning fresh odors thatWstrong enough to prevent us from-being outside and from opening our windows. Current problems with applicant Richard Jenkins: 1. Flies-have more flies than we feel we should have. We tolerate the amount by using sprays daily and by hanging fly strips. See picture attached. Fl?es are always a problem in our family fi—it trees. A health concern. 2. Runoff waxer and mosquitos-water runoff onto the north east comer of our property resulted in damage to this year's wheat hay crop. 3. Odors from manure and incinerator-manure and burning flesh odors that are stronger than what we experienced in the past. Prevents us from being outside and from opening our windows. An air quality concern. 4. Dust-large aerator fans blow dust from the inside of the houses which in turn creates a fog of dust over the back portion of our property. An air quality concern.
