From: <br /> Le" Ng9c-San <br /> 610 Adams St. <br /> Albany, CA.94706 <br /> (Hollenbeck Pigeon Ranch) <br /> To: <br /> Mr. Robert McClellon. <br /> Program Coordinator REHS <br /> Environmental Health Department. <br /> 600 East Main Street. <br /> Stockton, California 95202-3029 <br /> Albany April 15, 2008 <br /> Dear Sir: <br /> Receiving your letter by Certified Mail on 04-05-08 I tried to get information to <br /> answer your comments from the libraries around the Bay Area and the San Joaquin <br /> Valley Air Pollution Control District-Northern Region at Modesto, I got some useful <br /> ideas but could not applicable to our very small facility. <br /> Concerning: <br /> 1. Item 1. We could not use any bait or spraying because our processing facility <br /> is not far from the manure house. According to the FDA we must avoid to use <br /> any kind of chemical that may contaminate the food. <br /> Therefore, we may use the following methods: <br /> a. Traps to capture the larvae as they migrated out for dry areas to change <br /> to the fly stage. <br /> b. Traps to catch flies. <br /> c. Release certain beneficial insects that attack the flies in the pupal stage <br /> by boring in and eating flies out. <br /> d. Sprinkle powder lime on the manure to destroy eggs, kill larvae and <br /> pupa- <br /> e. The last important way is to manage the manure according to the regular <br /> schedule of remouval. <br /> 2 Item 2. We do not intend to make compost, but according to some <br /> literature the heat release from the decomposition of the manure, the green, <br /> and the brown will kill the laevea and the pupa. Therefore, if all prevention <br /> listed above are not enough to the fly control we are willing to apply a <br /> Notification Tier Pennit. <br /> 3 Item 3. With 5,000 pairs of pigeons will generate approximatively <br /> 3 yards drops per week. This amount of drops is enough to fertilizer the <br /> remainder lot (3+ acres). <br />
