Memo from: A. R. Rubin
Subject: Foreign matter assessment of Carolina Recycled Ag Materials (CRAM) compost
To: Kyle Bass 14 July 2018
The Division of Waste Management requires managers of permitted compost facilities to test product
and determine levels nutrient, regulated metal and foreign matter. A composite Sample of the screened
compost was received on 13 July 2018 through UPS delivery. The single sample was assessed as required
in the CRAM compost system permit to determine the level of foreign matter (plastic, aluminum can
fragments, metal fragments, glass, paper products, cigarette filter fragments, etc.). The sample was
collected from the mature compost storage piles at the permitted facility.
The sample was divided in quarters each containing approximately 100 grams of compost. Each quarter
was assessed visually using a 10-power lens and no foreign matter was observed. Each of the four
samples were then screened through 10-mesh screen followed by visual assessment of the fractions
collected on the screen and of the compost fines collected beneath the screen. The solid materials
collected on the screen showed no foreign matter. The solid materials passing the screen were
examined visually using a lighted 50 power dissecting microscope. No observable inert materials were
detected either atop the screen or in the bin collecting the fine compost screenings. The process of
quartering allowed more reliable assessment of the finish compost.
Based on these observations, the level of inert solids reported in the screened material is less than 0.5%.
Continued assessment of the compost will be necessary to comply with the requirement to assess
foreign matter levels as imposed through NCDWM in the compost system permit.

  Agronomist's Comments: The electrical conductivity is high in this sample. If using this material in a container substrate mix, take this property into consideration.
High EC can indicate good fertilizer value. High EC can also lead to root damage especially when the material is allowed to dry out. Insufficient information is available
regarding the first year availability of nutrients in this material. The nutrient availability reported here is therefore the TOTAL nutrients in the material. Samples submitted prior
to 2016 reported an estimated value rather than total nutrient levels. Please contact me if you have any questions. *
Reprogramming of the laboratory-information-management system that makes this report possible is being funded
through a grant from the North Carolina Tobacco Trust Fund Commission.
Thank you for using agronomic services to manage nutrients and safeguard environmental quality.

Nutrient concentrations and other data on this report are provided so that waste materials can be applied at agronomic rates, thereby supplementing or reducing fertilizer
application and preventing environmental contamination. In reading the Laboratory Results section, remember that materials with < 15% dry matter (generally liquids) are
analyzed as received; all other wastes are dried first. Values in the Estimate of Nutrients Available for First Crop section are based on the type of waste and method of
application you specify and reflects the fact that only 40-60% of the nitrogen becomes available within one year of application. The remainder may or may not ever become
available.
