1. Pathogen and Vector Attraction: The reason for the required temperature not being met
was a result of a faulty temperature probe. What was left from the data sheet was the fact
that the probe was moved to another spot and read the same. Required temperatures were
met at all six locations, we just had one probe that read low regardless of where it was
placed in the pile. This probe has been replaced with a new one and a spare is now being
kept on hand.
2. Compliance Issues:
1. This was a misprint. The data sheets were recorded for compost pile # 1.
2. Corrosivity ph: Our ORC is going to start performing the PH analyses at the site to
avoid any out of hold times in the future.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
nnie Tipton
