12. Post -inspection, on October 12th and October 13th, 2020, site operations were discussed with Jes Foster, Solid Waste
Manager - City of Asheville. As discussed, since approximately 2015, the city's Azalea Road YWN Facility has served
as a temporary holding site (leaves) for an adjacent permitted compost facility. Per agreement, the permitted compost
facility managed and utilized the city's YWN material for their on -site composting operations. Additionally, as
discussed, the adjacent permitted compost facility is in the process of moving to another site location, and will no longer
manage the material and maintain temperature records for the city's Azalea Road YWN Facility. As requested post -
inspection, when the adjacent compost facility has ceased operations at this location, please submit an updated YWN
Facility Renewal Form to the Section which describes the compost and mulching processes for the Azalea Road YWN
Facility (YWN-11-012). The YWN Facility Renewal Form can be accessed at the following link:
