With an approximate 60 head per <br /> acre ratio, we are struck by the animal density on the proposed <br /> site . It should be considered that one mature cow creates the <br /> waste matter of 24 humans . The proposed plan, including young <br /> stock, is the equivalent of a city of 40 , 000 people . <br /> We trust that the proper governmental agencies have "signed <br /> off" on this proposed plan and that the agency' s officials are <br /> confident of its merits . <br /> We wish all parties well in this proposed plan and do not wish <br /> to interfere in the business of area residents . Our concerns, and <br /> we trust that of the various governmental agencies, are for the <br /> health, safety, and well being of all area residents and their <br /> properties . <br /> Our concerns are as follows : proper manure management, <br /> including containment, disposal and enforcement there of; air <br /> quality including containment of dust, odors, etc, ; pest control <br /> and ground water quality. <br /> Sincerely yours, C <br /> OCT 2 4 1994 <br /> Leroy Ornellas ENVIRONMENTA' ' <br /> PERMIT <br /> 20740 South Lammers Road, Tracy, California 55370 !2091035-5204 <br />
