Depressions with algae growth on the soil were observed near the final product stockpiles. The site needs to be properly graded to promote drainage of surface water away from the windrows and stockpiles. B. February 14, 2019 Permit to Operate, Attachment 3 (10), "All sides of storage and compost areas for flammable materials must be clear and drivable, to provide vehicular access in the event of a fire." During the inspection, the final product windrow near the southeastern corner of the Site, was not accessible on all sides. Adequate distance around the windrow must be maintained for fire suppression and proper mixing. C. February 14, 2019 Permit to Operate, Attachment 3 (15), "The operator must monitor the compost for process indicators, including moisture content, aeration/turning, porosity, and particle size, and make adjustments as necessary to minimize odors and to ensure composting best management practices." During this inspection, we spoke with a driver, David, for Wind River. He stated that the attendant for the site had quit approximately 3 weeks ago. David reportedly took the temperatures of the compost for a about a week, then told Wind River that he would not be taking the temperatures anymore. David stated that he only parks his truck at the site. No waste is currently being delivered to the site. David also stated that the loads of grease he hauls are taken to Brooks in Sanford. Wind River needs to have an attendant at the site to properly manage the composting process.
