SAN JOAQL. COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH L� ARTMENT
<br /> CONFINED ANIMAL FACILITY
<br /> MANURE/SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
<br /> GUIDANCE DOCUMENT
<br /> This Guidance Document is designed to assist in the development of a Manure/Solid Waste Management Plan for
<br /> confined animal facilities (as defined in Title 27, § 20164 of the California Code of Regulations)that must be approved
<br /> by the Environmental Health Department. The plan is required in order to ensure that wastes from these operations are
<br /> handled in a manner that provides public health protection, protects ground and surface water quality and minimizes the
<br /> harborage and breeding of vectors such as rodents and insects.
<br /> Authority for these requirements are contained in the California Public Resources Code, Division 30, §43020; the
<br /> California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 7, Chapter 3,Article 8; the San Joaquin County Development Title, §9-
<br /> 605.6(k)(4), and the San Joaquin County Ordinance Code, Title 5, Division 2.
<br /> GENERAL INFORMATION
<br /> ❑ Describe the type of operations conducted at this facility.
<br /> ❑ Describe the frequency, duration, and time of year the facility will be in operation (year-round, seasonal, etc.)
<br /> ❑ Provide a general description of the facility, and a site map of the parcel(s)showing the location of existing and
<br /> proposed structures associated with the operation (such as barns, stalls, corrals, pens, feed storage areas, ponds,
<br /> lagoons, drainage canals, and manure use or disposal fields), as well as any residences, septic systems, and wells.
<br /> ❑ Describe the prevailing wind direction at the site.
<br /> MANURE MANAGEMENT
<br /> ❑ Provide the maximum number of animals proposed in the facility design.
<br /> ❑ Describe how manure from the confined animal operations will be managed, including the estimated amount that will
<br /> be generated daily and the moisture content of the manure (liquid or dry).
<br /> ❑ Describe the number, type, size and location of manure storage areas (ponds, lagoons, retention basins, stockpiles,
<br /> etc.)and any associated washout systems (gutters, pipes, drains and ditches, etc.).
<br /> ❑ Describe the manure disposal method(s)and location(s), such as on-site or off-site land spreading, irrigation, etc.
<br /> ❑ Note that any proposed discharge of manure to ponds, lagoons, land spreading, irrigation or combination of these
<br /> methods must comply with EHD requirements, the State Water Resources Control (SWRCB)"Statewide Water
<br /> Quality Regulations for Confined Animal Facilities,'and any requirements of the Central Valley Regional Water
<br /> Quality Control Board (CVRWQCB). See the CVRWQCB website:
<br /> http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/centralvalley/available documents/confined
<br /> SOLID WASTE (REFUSE, GARBAGE AND DEAD ANIMAL) MANAGEMENT
<br /> ❑ Describe the type, number and capacity of refuse and garbage containers used by the facility(cans, dumpsters,
<br /> etc.)and the name of the person or refuse company responsible for waste removal, frequency of removal and
<br /> disposal location (transfer station, landfill, etc.)
<br /> ❑ Describe the projected number and frequency of animal deaths, and the storage and disposal methods used for
<br /> dead animals (licensed rendering plant, etc.)
<br /> FEEDING OPERATIONS
<br /> ❑ Describe the type(s)of feed utilized (hay, silage, grain,food processing byproducts, etc.) and storage location(s).
<br /> VECTOR CONTROL
<br /> ❑ Describe the methods (trapping, baiting, spraying, etc.) used to minimize rodent harborage, insect breeding
<br /> (mosquitoes,flies, etc.), and adult fly populations associated with the facility operations (the animal confinement
<br /> areas, the manure storage areas, the feeding operations, and the solid waste containment areas).
<br /> ❑ If a licensed pest control service is utilized, provide the name of the company, the frequency and type of control
<br /> methods to be used.
