Potentially Less Than Less Than Analyzed Sinificant Significant with Sinificant No In The 9 Mitigation 9 Impact Incorporated Impact Impact Prior EIR III,AIR QUALITY, Where available, the significance criteria established by the applicable air quality management or air pollution control district may be relied upon to make the following ideterminations,Would the project: a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan? ❑ ❑ ❑ ® ❑ b) Result in a cumulatively considerable net increase of any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non- attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient ❑ ❑ © ❑ ❑ air quality standard? c) Expose sensitive receptors to substantial pollutant concentrations? ❑ ❑ X ❑ ❑ d) Result in substantial emissions(such as those leading to odors) adversely affecting a substantial number of El El ❑ E] Elpeople? Impact Discussion: a-d) The project is Use Permit application for two uses.The first use is an animal processing facility that proposes the construction of a 4,000 square foot agricultural building(2,400 square feet utilized as agricultural storage and 1,600 square feet for animal processing),The facility will process on average of one(1)animal per day.The second use is a chicken farm for a maximum of 1,000 chickens within a 19,000 square foot enclosure with two(2)800 square foot metal agricultural barns for the shelter of chickens,and a 100 square foot building for the storage of manure. The Manure Management Plan(MMP) submitted to the Environmental Health Department dated September 10, 2020 also took into consideration that approximately 5 cows and 50 goats and sheep will be on site in addition to the 1,000 chickens. Pursuant to Development Title Table 9-1045.3(Animal Standards),there is no limit on the amount of cows,goats and/or sheep permitted on a parcel over 40 acres in size,and no land use permit is required for the number of cows,goats, and/or sheep proposed. The applicant states that he will scrape animal enclosures twice a week, and store the manure in a 100 square foot enclosed building to reduce odor impacts,The manure containment building will open on the east facing side of the building, which is opposite the predominant wind direction, The applicant states he will haul the manure off site once a week to one of two approved location;Kiefer Landfill in Sacramento, California or Ralph Hayes and Sons, Incorporated in Tracy,California,This will be a requirement incorporated into the final Conditions of Approval, Additionally, animals harvested as a part of the animal processing operation will have their renderings placed in a sealed container, and the container will be delivered directly to Sisk Recycling for rendering disposal (see letter dated June 5,2019). The San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District(SJVAPCD) has been established by the State in an effort to control and minimize air pollution, In a response letter dated February 6,2020,the SJVAPCD stated that project specific annual emissions of criteria pollutants are not expected to exceed any of the following District significance thresholds: 100 tons per year of carbon monoxide(CO), 10 tons per year of oxides of nitrogen(NOx), 10 tons per year of reactive organic gases(ROG),27 tons per year of oxides of sulfur(Sox), 15 tons per year of particulate matter of 10 microns or less in size(PM10), or 15 tons per year of particulate matter of 2.5 microns or less in size(PM2.5).As a result,the district determined the project would have a less than significant impact on air quality.At the time of future development,the applicant will be required to meet the requirements for emissions and dust control as established by SJVAPCD. As a result, any impacts to air quality will be reduced to less-than- significant. 9 Planning Commission Staff Report, PA-1800316(UP) 13 Environmental Review
