Olivera <br /> P.O. Box 32126 <br /> San Jose, CA 95152 <br /> RE: Manure Management Plan for 952 W. Bowman Road,French Camp <br /> Dear Mr. Olivera: <br /> Thank you for submitting your Manure Management Plan(MMP)for the egg-laying facility located at <br /> 952 W. Bowman Road, French Camp. The Environmental Health Department(EHD) received the MMP <br /> on June 22, 2006, and has completed the review. The following comments describe additional <br /> information needed for inclusion in the MMP: <br /> 1. The Manure Management section of the MMP does not estimate the volume of manure generated <br /> by the egg laying operation. Please provide an estimate for the volume of manure generated by <br /> the "belt houses"and the "scrape and flush houses," and the approximate moisture content of the <br /> dry manure generated. <br /> 2. The facility uses ponds as a method to handle the manure generated by the egg laying operation. <br /> The plan references the size of the ponds by acre or acre feet. Please provide a comparable <br /> calculation for pond volume in gallons or cubic feet. <br /> 3. The Manure Management section states that the manure ponds have recirculating pumps, but in <br /> the past,the EHD has observed a build-up of surface solids and debris. The plan does not mention <br /> the routine measures utilized to control,monitor, or remove the solids and floating debris to <br /> reduce odors and fly breeding. Please provide pond maintenance information that details how <br /> weeds are controlled and pond manure is agitated to reduce build-up,odors and fly breeding. <br /> 4. The Solid Waste section of the MMP does not include how the ash from the incinerator or <br /> feathers from the egg operation are handled. Please add this information to the Solid Waste <br /> section. <br /> 5. The Feeding Operations section of the MMP does not mention a cleaning schedule for the feed <br /> storage silos,the areas below the silos, or other areas with spilled or contaminated feed. Please <br /> include this information. <br /> 6. The Vector Control section of the MMP states that the bait stations will be serviced every two <br /> weeks, but does not mention who will monitor and maintain the stations (schedule or checklist)or <br /> treat problem areas with sugar bait. Please add this information. <br /> Page 1 of FILE COPY <br />
