O. Box 73 <br /> Banta, CA 95304 <br /> SITE INSPECTION <br /> An inspection was conducted at your proposed dairy facility at 20662 South San Jose Road on 30 July at <br /> the request of Mr. Bill Marchese, Inspector for the San Joaquin County Public Health Services. <br /> I was informed that you plan to begin milking 500 cows in September. The inspection revealed, <br /> however, that the facility is not prepared for manure, storm water and waste water management that <br /> would adequately protect water quality. The matters that need to be addressed are as follows: <br /> 1. Monitoring wells which were requested earlier have not been installed. <br /> 2. There remains a connection between the old settling pond and the adjacent drain. <br /> 3. Manure which had been scraped from a new free stall barn had discharged into the drain. <br /> 4. Pond capacity does not appear adequate to retain waste water and corral runoff during the winter. <br /> 5. Roofs and roof gutters drain into the corrals. <br /> 6. There are low areas in and around the corrals where storm water can accumulate. <br /> Please submit a report prepared by a California Certified Engineer explaining how these matters will be <br /> addressed. Please provide a schedule for completion of improvements. <br /> If you have any questions, please call me at (916) 255-3110. <br /> r3'✓` <br /> LOUIS F.
