STATE OF CALIFORNIA GEORGE DEUKMEJIAN,Governor <br /> CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD— <br /> CENTRAL VALLEY REGION <br /> 3443 ROUTIER ROAD ' <br /> SACRAMENTO, CA 95827-3098 <br /> 4 October 1989 <br /> Mr. James Miller <br /> San Joaquin Public Health Service <br /> P.O. Box 2009 <br /> Stockton , CA 95201 <br /> NICOLAYSON POULTRY VARIANCE 90-1 <br /> In a recent telephone conversation you indicated that Nicolayson Poultry had <br /> applied for a variance to separate the poultry facility at 17250 E. Dodds Road <br /> from the adjoining cropland. I have been informed that the Planning Commission ' s <br /> decision not to approve the variance has been appealed. <br /> It is my understanding that there are approximately 160 acres of cropland <br /> available for poultry waste distribution. Reasonable waste loading would be in <br /> range of 400 to 600 birds per acre depending on the crops grown. It is also my <br /> understanding that approximately 100,000 layers are kept at the facility. It <br /> therefore appears that the ranch is at or beyond reasonable waste loading rates <br /> now. <br /> If the cropland is'sold the facility will have to develop a waste management plan <br /> that ensures that storage and disposal operations are in compliance with <br /> applicable water quality regulations. If the acreage of available cropland is <br /> reduced, the waste will have to be hauled off site or the scope of the poultry <br /> operation may have to be reduced accordingly. <br /> If I can be of further assistance in this matter, or if you have any questions <br /> or comments, please call me at (916) 361-5711 . <br /> LOUIS F.
