ISAAK <br /> ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT <br /> III <br /> Calaveras County <br /> Planning DepArtment <br /> Government Center <br /> San Andreas, CA 95249 <br /> Gentlemen: <br /> A draft Environmental Impact Report for the proposed F. W. Cattle Company <br /> Project feedlot, disposal site, and recycling facility on the Calaveras/ <br /> San Joaquin County line was sent to my office for review. I sincerely <br /> appreciate the cooperation and courtesy extended to me by the Calaveras <br /> County Planning Department, and I believe that we will be able to resolve <br /> some of the most objectionable aspects of this project, for the good of <br /> both the nearby residents and the project proponents. <br /> The draft EIR does outline a number of measures that would minimize the <br /> project's adverse impacts. However, the most objectionable impacts cannot <br /> be adequately resolved by the proposed measures. The odor created, for <br /> instance, by a 3,000 head feedlot is, in all practicality, unavoidable <br /> and would clearly prevent the project's neighbors from getting the full <br /> enjoyment of their property. Some of the people affected have lived in <br /> this area for many years, have substantial investments in their property, <br /> and would hate to be forced to move. <br /> For the reasons outlined above, I must continue to oppose this project. If <br /> a use permit is granted though, there are some mitigating measures not <br /> mentioned in the EIR that would be helpful. I believe that any use permit <br /> should be conditioned on the following measures, in addition to the <br /> measures proposed in the EIR: <br /> 1, In addition to the domestic fly monitoring program proposed <br /> in the draft EIR, the use permit should be made contingent upon <br /> meeting some objective standard for the fly attraction and <br /> breeding problem. <br /> 2. All heavy truck traffic to and from this project should be <br /> prohibited during the hours of darkness, both for noise and <br /> safety reasons. <br />
