Dear Ms. Maxwell:

MICHAEL SCOTT
Acting Director
The Division of Waste Management, Solid Waste Section, has reviewed the results of the
tests conducted on the compost produced at your compost facility SWC 9504 at Appalachian
State University on Dale Street in Boone, NC. The test results meet the minimum requirements
for pathogens, regulated metals and manmade inerts in the Solid Waste Compost Rules. The
compost is therefore approved for distribution.
This approval is ongoing as long as the required tests are conducted every 6 months or
20,000 tons, the results are acceptable and are submitted to the Division in a timely manner. In
addition, operational records must be maintained and be available to Division staff during
inspections.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 919-707-8280.
Sincerely,
Digitally signed by Tony Gallagher
