Item No . PC : 10-8-87 SA-88-7 Page 4 inspector must be on the premises when the facility is in operation. It is the livestock meat inspector ' s responsibility to ensure that the processing and labeling of products meet State requirements . The meat inspector may be an employee of the custom slaughterhouse . In addition, the State requires that a log be kept that documents all animals killed at the facility. A copy of the log entries is sent to the State Department of Food and Agriculture on a monthly basis. Odor : If operated in a proper manner, the slaughterhouse is not expected to create odor problems for adjacent properties . The waste water from the washdown of the facilities must pass through a 1600-gallon grease trap prior to reaching the eva- poration pond on the project site. FACILITIES/SERVICES : The custom slaughterhouse proposes to utilize an existing private well for water supply and a septic system for sewage disposal . The Local Health District is requiring a cross-connection control device on the water well to protect it against contamination and back-siphonage. In addition, a new septic system, isolated the proper distance from the water, will be required. The Department of Public Works notes that a portion of the site is located within a flood hazard area, and the entire site is subject to shallow sheet-flow flooding of approximately one foot in depth. As a result , it will be necessary to bank the evaporation pond higher than the 100-year flood depth. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS : An Initial Study was prepared on August 12 , 1987 , and no signifi- cant environmental effects were identified. Based on the Initial Study, a Negative Declaration was prepared.
