<br /> CONFINED ANIMAL FACILITY
<br /> MANURE/SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN GUIDANCE DOCUMENT
<br /> This Guidance Document is designed to assist in the development of a Manure/Solid Waste Management Plan for confined
<br /> animal facilities (as defined in Title 27, §20164 of the California Code of Regulations)that must be approved by the
<br /> Environmental Health Department. The plan is required in order to ensure that wastes from these operations are handled in a
<br /> manner that provides public health protection, protects ground and surface water quality and minimizes the harborage and
<br /> breeding of vectors such as rodents and insects.
<br /> Authority for these requirements are contained in the California Public Resources Code, Division 30, §43020;the California
<br /> Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 7, Chapter 3,Article 8; the San Joaquin County Development Title, §9-605.6(k)(4), and
<br /> the San Joaquin County Ordinance Code, Title 5, Division 2.
<br /> GENERAL INFORMATION
<br /> ❑ Describe the type of operations conducted at this facility.
<br /> ❑ Describe the frequency,duration, and time of year the facility will be in operation (year-round,seasonal,etc.)
<br /> ❑ Provide a general description of the facility,and a site map of the parcel(s)showing the location of existing and proposed
<br /> structures associated with the operation (such as barns, stalls, corrals, pens,feed storage areas, ponds,lagoons,drainage
<br /> canals, and manure use or disposal fields), as well as any residences, septic systems, and wells.
<br /> ❑ Describe the prevailing wind direction at the site.
<br /> MANURE MANAGEMENT
<br /> ❑ Provide the maximum number of animals proposed in the facility design.
<br /> ❑ Describe how manure from the confined animal operations will be managed,including the estimated amount that will be
<br /> generated daily and the moisture content of the manure(liquid or dry). .
<br /> ❑ Describe the number,type, size and location of manure storage areas(ponds, lagoons, retention basins,stockpiles, etc.)and any

<br /> ❑ Note that any proposed discharge of manure to ponds, lagoons, land spreading, irrigation or combination of these methods must
<br /> comply with EHD requirements,the State Water Resources Control(SWRCB)"Statewide Water Quality Regulations for Confined
<br /> Animal Facilities,"and any requirements of the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (CVRWQCB).
