ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
1. The facility is permitted as a small Type III Compost Facility owned and operated by Davidson College. It
is located behind the college's Facilities Maintenance Compound. The facility is secured by a gate and can
be locked as needed.
2. The operation is permitted to accept food waste and yard waste from the college campus as feedstocks.
3. Due to the effects from COVID49, the college is currently closed. Feedstocks are not currently being
received. Charles Jolly is still monitoring temperatures and turning windrows as needed, and stated that he
will empty what remains in the drum. Incoming feedstocks are estimated to begin again in the fall semester.
4. Windrows are smaller than permitted dimensions. No water was observed in contact with waste.
