This benefits the soil through the decomposition or organic <br /> matter and leads to the formation of hurnus, which increases the soil's capacity to <br /> promote plant production. The derived organic matter also promotes a more favorable <br /> soil structure, <br /> Daily records will be kept describing the loads received, location of disposal area, a to <br /> of unusual occurrences,and the removal of extraneous material. <br /> The trucks will dump in rows, These rows will be spaced 20 feet apart, assisted by <br /> markers. The waste is spread to I to 3 inches in depth and allowed to air dry for 12 <br /> hours. At the end of 12 hours, repeated passes are made over the material using a spring <br /> tooth cultivator. The purpose is to expose wet materials to enhance solar evaporation. <br /> This process is repeated every 12 hours. The spring tooth cultivation shatters the dry <br /> crusts formed on the surface and exposes more surface area for drying. This shattering <br /> and exposing increases the drying of material by 4 to 5 days. Total evaporation should <br /> occur in approxi Lely 5 days. This schedule has been designed to interrupt the nonnal <br /> cycle for fly development. <br /> A variety oft e s are used to deliver food processing residual to site. The majority will <br /> be three-axle dump trucks,but a few will be tractor and trailer rigs. <br /> Coeern <br /> Last year's Spread and Disc site, located at 15727 N. Clements Road will be used as an <br /> alternate site if necessary. <br /> Vectors <br /> 'Proper evaporation will prevent anaerobic odors and will out the life cycle of flies. <br /> Animal Control Management, a vector control company will check weekly. per <br /> housekeeping of peripheral areas and regular clearing of equipment will ensure good <br /> vector control. University of California entomology specialists have determined that <br /> solar drying of wet material within 5 days will prevent fly development. <br /> S d HOZ St 9 '18JNCV IiViINVS 3SIdNAS 'iN ^ ViIH VI(OdJ <br />
