ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
1 This was an inspection of a small Type 3 compost demonstration project whose application for the compost
project was submitted to the Solid Waste Section with a revised date of March 5, 2009.
2. The materials to be composted include dewatered septage and/or grease with a bulking material. The bulking
material being used at this time is wood chips supplied by Asplundh.
3. Composite samples of compost were tested according to the rules. The results were reviewed and all were
within established limits.
4. Temperature records are kept and the logs were reviewed during the audit.
5. The area being used to compost and store product is under two acres. The finished `product' is being kept at
the site for several years prior to its future use as a Class A product. There is a pile of sand and soil on the
site which is mixed in with the final product.
6. The compost method being used is the windrow method. The windrows are 5-7 feet high, approximately 40
feet in length and approximated 9 feet wide.
7. The dewatered sludge mixed with the bulking material is brought out to the area where the windrows are
formed, on a concrete access path and stored on the concrete for another 24 hours or so to allow further
dewatering, prior to being windrowed.
8. The site is approximately 'r/2 mile off of the main road. There was not a heavy offensive odor to the site.
9. Easily visible markers should be established to show the boundaries of the compost area.
10. There were two or three small areas of ponding water. The site must be kept graded to prevent any ponding
of water.
11. There was a pile of boards to the back of the site that needs to be removed.
12. Insure that a minimum of 25 feet, for emergency vehicle access is maintained around the site.
13. The access road was in good condition.
14. Insure that there is a 100 foot buffer between all parts of the compost site and any property line.
