Inspection Summary:
Facility sold cows July 2019 and is purchasing milk from permitted dairy in Randolph Co(Jason Wright).
Facility is receiving milk via tanker and has built a covered tanker area with a containment for milk runoff from loading/unloading
that goes to WSP. DWR staff suggested to put speed bump or diversion from parkinglot runoff into truck shelter to prevent
additional water from entering system. Inside processing washdown to the WSP as well.
CAWMP needs to be updated to reflect facility changes/additional inputs of milk truck washdown.Will be<100 cows from now on.
Question about how to go forward with permit since no more(or very minimal)manure will be pushed into the WSP. DWR to
fol lowup.
21.Waste analyses for Fall 2018 and Spring 2019 applications were missed. NOD
21.Soils due 2021.
24.Calibration completed 9/2019. Due again 2021.
21. Need to track cover crop on seperate form as it has a seperate PAN rate. DWR to provide cover crop rules.
21.Continue to keep stocking records to show true number in barns(i.e.under threshhold)
