To: Alisa Goulart,San Joaquin County, Community Development Department From: Laurel Boyd, SJCOG, Inc. Date: October 6,2021 Local Jurisdiction Project Title: PA-2100209(SA) Assessor Parcel Number(s): 241-380-02 Local Jurisdiction Project Number: PA-2100209(SA) Total Acres to be converted from Open Space Use: Unknown Habitat Types to be Disturbed: Agricultural and Natural Habitat Land Species Impact Findings: Findings to be determined by SJMSCP biologist. Dear Ms. Goulart: SJCOG, Inc. has reviewed the application referral for PA-2100209 (SA). This project consists of a Site Approval application to install a manure digester facility at an existing dairy on an 8.5 acre portion of a 444.68 acre parcel with an existing dairy, the Fred Douma Dairy. The manure digester facility will process manure waste through a gas collection and water filtration system to convert greenhouse gases (GHG) to Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) and convert filtration by-products to fertilizer. The proposal includes the construction of an 11,825 square foot hydrolyzer structure, a 57,600 square foot digester double lined covered lagoon, a 1,500 square foot shop and associated equipment. The digester facility will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The equipment will be automated to minimize on-site employees. There is to be 1 employee arriving on site in a personal vehicle from 8 am to 5 pm, 5 days a week. A routine maintenance service truck could arrive weekly. It is anticipated that there will be 28 trucks per day that will be arriving 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The drivers will perform the loading and unloading of the manure. The donor dairy for this project is Rocking S Dairy at 3125 Ladd Road, Modesto. The project site has an existing driveway on S. Kasson Road. The project will be served by a private well, septic system, and on-site storm drainage. The project site is on the southeast corner intersection of S. Kasson Road and E Linne Road, Tracy(APN/Address: 241-380-02/28524 S. Kasson Road, Tracy).

The LOCAL JURISDICTION retains responsibility for ensuring that the appropriate Incidental Take Minimization Measure are properly implemented and monitored and that appropriate fees are paid in compliance with the SJMSCP. Although participation in the SJMSCP is voluntary, Local Jurisdiction/Lead Agencies should be aware that if project applicants choose against participating in the SJMSCP, they will be required to provide alternative mitigation in an amount and kind equal to that provided in the SJMSCP. This project is subject to the SJMSCP and is located within the unmapped land use area. Per requirements of the SJMSCP, unmapped projects are subject to case-by-case review. This can be a 90 day process and it is recommended that the project applicant contact SJMSCP staff as early as possible. It is also recommended that the project applicant obtain an information package. http://www.sicog.org If this project is approved by the Habitat Technical Advisory Committee and the SJCOG Inc.
