S.K.S. Enterprise, Inc. 2005 JN rAL June-2006 SKS MANURE MANAGEMENT PLAN SKS is an agricultural poultry farm that operates in San Joaquin County. Our facility operates year-round with a 700,000 bird capacity at our Brandt Rd. location. The wind usually blows from the Northwest(as reported by SJC Air Pollution District). The proposed number of birds will be 1 million hens. Our maximum is 1.5 million. In the environmental houses (Hoven units 7-8),the manure comes out on the manure belts and is dumped directly onto a spread machine daily. The tractor will pull the spread machine to the composting house for processing. I am estimating about 30 cubic yards of manure will be hauled daily for composting. Honen unit#9 is scheduled to house on June 20, 2006. Honen unit#10 is scheduled to house October 27, 2006. Each house will fallow the same manure procedure as above. We also have a lagoon for the liquid manure generated by our Honen units 1-3. SKS will contact EHD before agreeing to spread manure to any off site premises. SKS is aware that any manure spread on open land must be disked in within 24 hrs. We are also of the `farmland' definition and rates. The moisture in chicken manure is estimated to be between 60 to 65 % from the hen and 75 to 80 % in liquid manure. The estimate of manure that will be generated daily is between 58.93 cubic yards a day. * (Explained in more detail at the end of MMP) We have an enclosed facility with a concrete foundation that we are proposing to use for composting. The house will operate with one machine and two composting pits. Each measuring 3x20x250. On one end we dump 32 cubic yards of manure and carbon source. The complete process will take about 28 to 30 days. We are estimating approximately 30 cubic yards a day of compost. After processing, we will remove the compost and use a bobcat to pile on the concrete. The compost will be stored within the composting facility until it is ready for hauling to a farm site. The dimensions for the composting house are as follows— 100 x 600 a total 60,000 sq. ft. All operations will be done within the unit. We pump 5 loads of manure a day from our Honen units 1-3. During the rainy season, we pump approximately 5,000 gallons (per unit 1-3) of manure. The manure
