1 12. The excavator used to perform the dredging work had been brought to the Olivera Egg <br /> 2 Ranch on June 1, 2009. This excavator left the facility on June 8, 2009. <br /> 3 13. On June 2, 2009, I observed sludge and grit removed from the manure lagoon and <br /> 4 placed in an enclosed area with a berm. <br /> 5 <br /> 14. Beginning on June 3, the excavator would dump sludge and grit removed from the <br /> 6 <br /> 7 manure lagoon into trucks that would transport the materials to a secondary lagoon located on the <br /> 8 facility. No truck removed materials from the manure lagoon to any location offsite. All sludge and <br /> 9 grit was placed either on a flat area south of the lagoon or in the secondary lagoon. <br /> 10 15. After the conclusion of the work on June 8,2009,I continued to visit the Olivera Egg <br /> 11 <br /> Ranch two to three times per week for a period of approximately three weeks. I would visit for <br /> 12 <br /> 13 periods of time up to one hour. The purpose of my visits was to observe Olivera's handling of the <br /> 14 sludge and grit that had already been removed from the lagoon. I observed work intended to spread <br /> 15 the materials and break it up so that it could eventually dry out. <br /> 16 16. At no point during this period of time was I aware of any work that had been performed <br /> i <br /> 17 <br /> after daytime business hours or in the middle of the night. The excavator used to perform the dredging <br /> 18 <br /> had been removed from the Olivera Egg Ranch on June 8 and did not return. <br /> 19 <br /> 20 17. Ammonia is the volatile form of nitrogen. If you stir it up,the emissions will spike and <br /> 21 odors will be stronger. This would make conditions at the Olivera Egg Ranch worse in the short term <br /> 22 and possibly better in the long term. <br /> 23 I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California and the United <br /> 24 <br /> States of America that the foregoing is true and correct. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Executed this_st day of August, 2009, in , California. <br /> 27 <br /> Robert McClellon <br /> 28 <br /> PORTER SCOTT <br /> 350 University Ave,Suite 200 3 <br /> Sacramento,CA 95925 <br /> TEL:916.92...... <br /> .1aRI <br /> PAX:916.927.9706 007 962.WPD DECLARATION OF ROBERT MCCLELLON <br /> W—Porterscott.com <br />
