IF <br />�9® CENTRAL VAL#0 REGIONAL WATER QUALITY TROL BOARD <br />INSPECTION REPORT <br />29 October 1984 <br />DISCHARGER: SCOTT EGG RANCH <br />LOCATION & COUNTY: 18401 N. Atkins Road, Lockeford, San Joaquin County <br />CONTACT(S): Jim Haley, Poultry Manager; Frank L. Miller Inc. <br />Manuel Arevalo, Manager, Scott Egg Ranch <br />INSPECTION DATE: 24 October 1984 <br />INSPECTED eY : Louis Pratt <br />ACCOMPANIED BY: <br />OBSERVATIONS AND COMMENTS <br />A meeting at the ranch was arranged and an inspection was made to study the <br />animal waste management system and to determine what measures were being taken <br />to prepare for winter conditions. Under present management most of the manure <br />is hauled dry and is spread on a slope west of the south building compound for <br />storage and further drying. Mr. Haley indicated that winter runoff from <br />the slope would not enter the creek during years of normal rainfall. Roof and water <br />trough runoff are routed away from the waste management system. <br />At the time of the inspection, dried manure was being piled and prepared for re- <br />moval. Failure to remove manure from the drying area in previous years resulted <br />in off -property manure discharges and nuisance conditions in the spring. Flies <br />were well under control and very little odor was noted. <br />Staff's major concern at this time is the facilities ability to prevent manured <br />runoff from entering the creek at the bottom of the slope. An inspection should <br />be made later this winter to determine the extent of runoff. <br />INSPECTION SUMMARY <br />The facility was in compliance with animal waste guidelines and preparations <br />were being made for winter conditions. <br />4/6UIS F.
