Section 3 — Design Plan
The compost facility was designed and built by Advanced Composting Technologies of
Candler, NC. The main feedstocks that are accepted are food waste, yard waste, and
animal bedding. Food waste consists of pre and post -consumer food waste,
food -related compostable paper, packaging, and dining ware (cups, plates, utensils,
paper towels, etc.). Yard waste consists of brush, branches, tree trunks, grass clippings,
and leaves, all of which have gone through a chipper or grinder. Animal bedding
consists of shaved wood with a minimal amount of equine manure included. All of the
food waste and animal bedding are generated on the NC State Campus. Wood chips
are generated on NC State's campus and also brought to the facility by one or two local
tree companies. No feedstocks are not accepted from the general public or without
specific permission. Feedstock sources include dining halls, residence halls,
administrative buildings, academic buildings, the student centers, athletic events,
campus greenhouses, and the campus landscape. Animal bedding and manure will be
from the campus farm and from our vet school. A site plan can be found in Exhibit 1.
The original facility consisted of five aerated static pile bins, and two additional bins
have been added (see Exhibit 2 for the location of the new bins).
An estimate of the total amount of materials to be received at the facility can be found in
the table below. The capacity of the facility is currently around 2,240 tons per year of
incoming feedstock.

For a basic recipe, we are still utilizing the food waste compost recipe developed by
Coker Composting and Consulting, which includes carbon -to -nitrogen ratio and density
calculations, and can be found in Exhibit 3. Recipe calculator spreadsheets provided
during the US Composting Council's Compost Operations Training Course are also
utilized from time to time. To ensure the proper ratios are met, all materials will be
pre-processed in the Compost Special mixer/grinder, which is made by Penta
specifically for Advanced Composting Technologies. The mixer/grinder shreds and
homogenizes the feedstocks, and has an internal scale, which is utilized to properly

measure the ratio of feedstocks to ensure the carbon -to -nitrogen ratio is correct. The
pre-processing generally consists of adding approximately 2,000 Ibs of carbon (wood
chips or animal bedding), 3,000 Ibs of food waste, and 1,000 Ibs of finished compost or
overs to the mixer/grinder. Based on the results of a squeeze test, leachate can be
added and bulk density tested using the 5-gallon bucket method. These proportioned
weights typically ensure the proper carbon -to -nitrogen ratio, bulk density, and porosity.
In addition to food waste compost, we also produce an unscreened compost product
free of food waste that is used on campus as a mulch. For our unscreened compost
mulch product, animal bedding and wood chips are mixed at approximately a 1:1 ratio
before some finished compost is mixed in at different rates to darken the color. The mix
is put into an ASP bin and managed in the same manner as compost containing food
waste compost so it meets PFRP/VAR.
A process flow diagram for this facility can be found in Exhibit 4, and specifications and
performance data for equipment used at the site can be found in Appendix A.
The site is graded and sloped so all surface water flows into a sediment basin in the
southeast corner of the site. From there, the water flows into a wet detention pond. A
diagram showing the sloping of the site to prevent ponding of water can be found as
Exhibit 5.
Yard waste is brought to the facility in the form of wood chips on an intermittent basis.
Wood chips are delivered by the NC State landscaping team or delivered by one or two
private tree companies. Wood chips are stored in a -1,000 square foot area in the
northwest part of the facility. Animal bedding is delivered twice per week in a 30 cubic
yard compactor and stored in a -2,500 square foot area in the northern part of the
facility, just to the east of the ASP system. Food waste is delivered twice per week in a
front-end loading refuse truck with rear unload, and received in a 500 square foot
covered bay with a leachate collection tank. Food waste is mixed with yard waste,
animal bedding, and finished compost/overs in the Penta Compost Special
mixer/grinder the same day it is delivered, and immediately put into the aerated static
pile bins. This prevents food scraps from sitting in the open for an extended length of
time. If for some reason food waste is not able to be processed immediately, it will be
covered with at least a 6" layer of wood chips until it can be processed. The Compost
Special mixer/grinder is equipped with an internal scale, which allows us to ensure the
proper ratio of feedstock, and keep track of our input quantities. After the 3-4 weeks of
composting in the ASP bins, compost is removed and placed in windrows in the curing
area for another -90 days before being screened. After screening, the finished compost
is moved across the site to the northeast side where it is stored until needed on
campus. The duration of time in the storage area will vary, but the goal will be to utilize

the product in the campus landscape as quickly as possible once the compost has
stabilized.
The method of composting utilized at this site is the Aerated Static Pile (ASP) method.
In this method, the properly mixed feedstocks are placed onto a 12" bed of wood chips
in the ASP bins, which are 12' wide x 16' deep x 6' tall. There are poured concrete walls
on three sides, and doors on the front. The floor of the bin is concrete with perforated
PVC pipes recessed into it. The PVC pipes are connected to a blower, which
mechanically forces oxygen -rich air evenly through the composting pile, and creates
optimum aerobic conditions that are maintained throughout the composting process.
Forced aeration removes one of the limiting factors associated with the traditional static
pile composting process — the lack of oxygen within the pile — and results in the
maximum breakdown of the material in a minimum amount of time. During this process,
bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms break down organic materials into a stable
mixture called compost, while consuming oxygen and releasing heat, water, and carbon
dioxide. The pile in each bin is capped with a 6-inch biofilter of finished compost, wood
chips, or overs to prevent odors and deter animals and pests from digging in the pile.
All disease -causing organisms are subjected to at least three adverse conditions during
composting: heat, toxicity caused by products of decomposition, and microbial
antagonism. The heat generated in the composting process is the primary determinant.
Heat is also the performance indicator of microbial activity within the composting pile.
An extended period of heat (minimum of 5 consecutive days) in the desired range
(above 140°F) achieved during composting is essential for the destruction of most
pathogens. With proper management, the forced aeration composting process will
produce temperatures consistently higher than the typical static pile composting pile as
noted earlier. Higher temperatures translate into higher microbial activity, reduced
retention time in each bin and better pathogen reduction. Normal temperatures for
forced aeration are typically in the range of 140°F to 150°F for 10 or more consecutive
days. This facility will maintain compost pile temperatures of 104°F for at least 14 days
or longer, with an average temperature of at least 11 YF to fulfill Vector Attraction
Reduction (VAR) requirements. The process to further reduce pathogens (PFRP) will be
adhered to by maintaining aerobic conditions during the composting process and
maintaining a temperature of at least 131 °F for three or more days. Time and
temperature tracking will be maintained in an electronic logbook for each specific
pile/batch, starting when the bin is filled and ending when the PFRP and VAR
requirements are met and the pile is moved to the curing area. Temperatures will be
taken daily (Monday — Friday) by using a probe thermometer at several places in the bin
that represent the entire pile — one along the back of the bin, one in the middle of the
bin, and one at the front of the bin. Data records will be available for inspection by NC
DEQ personnel and will be sent to the Division upon request.

While this site is located outdoors, the food waste receiving, mixing, and composting all
take place under roofs. These operations are protected from surface water run-on by
roofs, walls, as well as site elevation and grade. There is no surface run-off from these
operations. Leachate from the wet food waste in the waste receiving area as well as the
composting bins are collected in separate 1,500 gallon septic tanks. These tanks have
an aerator and pump, allowing the liquid to be applied to the feedstocks during the
mixing process to increase moisture content. If the tank becomes full, liquid can be
discharged into a pile of wood chips within the working pad, or a septic tank company
can be called to pump the tank and dispose of the liquid at a permitted treatment facility.
Currently, we are using all of the leachate during pre-processing/mixing. Process water
can be applied to the mixed feedstocks with the understanding that time and
temperature requirements to reduce pathogens must begin again. Compost curing will
take place on the soil pad, and will not be under a roof. Surface run-on at the curing pile
will be diverted by a swale across the top of the site. Surface run-on at the finished
compost storage area is diverted by a swale across the top of the site. Surface run-off
from the curing piles mixes with clean surface water run-off and enters the
forebay/sediment basin. From there it flows through a skimmer and pipe into the wet
detention pond. NC State Landscape Services and Environmental Health & Safety will
manage and regulate the stormwater device.
Process water or contact water will be limited, as the food waste receiving area and
compost bins are both located under roofs and are not exposed to the elements. Both of
these areas are equipped with drains that lead to separate 1,500 gallon septic tanks.
There are no plans to add amendments to the finished compost.
The facility will still operate in wet weather. Processing can still be done and materials
can still be managed. If mud or organic material build up on the pad, it can be graded or
managed with skid steers or other equipment.
Blowing dust will be minimized to the greatest extent possible by wetting materials down
when they become so dry that dust forms.
Recycling roll carts (95 gallons) are located at the facility for bottles, cans, paper, and
cardboard. They are serviced once per week and taken to a recycling facility with the
rest of the university's recyclables. Landfill waste is collected in an 8 cubic yard
dumpster and emptied once per week and taken to the Wake County landfill.

Section 4 - Operation Plan
This facility is managed and operated by NC State's Waste Reduction and Recycling
office. Adam Bensley (ph. 919-628-2379), is responsible for the management of the
facility, and Cory Schumacher (ph. 919-441-0696) is responsible for facility operations.
The facility is not open to the public. If for some reason the facility becomes open to the
public, a site operator will be on duty at all times while the facility is open to the public.
Both Adam and Cory have both successfully completed the US Composting Council's
Compost Operations Training Course. Any future facility operator will successfully
complete COTC.
The following equipment will be utilized at the facility:
a. Two CAT 262D Skidsteers with two, 2 cubic yard buckets — these are used to
manage feedstocks and move compost to bins, curing area, screening area, and
finished compost storing area. One bucket is utilized to manage raw feedstocks, and the
other is used to manage compost that has achieved the PFRP/VAR requirements. This
avoids cross -contamination of pathogens.
b. Penta Compost Special mixer/grinder — this machine homogenizes the yard waste,
animal bedding, and food waste feedstocks. It has a Digi-Star scale inside, which allows
for precise measuring of feedstocks and allows us to track throughput.
c. Screen USA TROM406 screener is utilized to screen finished compost to either'/z" or
%". The screener separates finished compost from overs and contamination.
d. Seven MEDO air blowers are utilized for aerating the ASP bins. Each bin is equipped
with one blower that when turned on, runs continuously.
Routine maintenance of this equipment, including greasing, tightening, and changing
fluids and filters, is performed according to the manufacturer's recommendation.
Maintenance on the skid steers and screener is performed by NC State's Auto Shop or
a private repair shop. The structures that are over the grinder/mixer and ASP bins are
wooden with rib steel roofing. The structure over the waste receiving area is a
ClearSpan hoop structure. The floor of the waste receiving area is poured concrete, as
are the floors of the ASP bins, working pad, and mixing/grinding area. One yard hydrant
that provides water for cleaning is found at the front of the waste receiving area and a
second is found by the office.
This facility is located approximately .65 miles down a gravel road that winds through
agricultural fields at the NC State Lake Wheeler Road Facility, and is not open for public
access. Feedstocks and residuals are not accepted from the general public. There is a
locked gate near the entrance of the gravel road (just off Inwood Road), and another
locked gate at the entrance to the facility. With the exception of the access road and
gate, the site is surrounded by trees on all sides. There is a tree -covered berm along

the north perimeter. The access road is an all-weather road constructed from ABC
stone. The road is maintained in good condition to allow for easy accessibility.
Operating hours for the facility are Monday — Friday, 6:OOam — 2:30pm. The site could
be closed on these days from 11:00-11:30 a.m. for lunch. When the site is closed, or
when facility staff is not present, the gate will be closed and locked. Since the site is not
open to the public, preparations in the morning are minimal. When the site operator
arrives, lights will be turned on if it is still dark, and temperatures will be taken off the
actively composting piles. Prior to closing at the end of the day, all equipment and tools
will be put away and the site will be left in clean condition. The grinder/mixer will be
powered off at the breaker and the panel door will be locked. Any food waste received
will be mixed with wood chips and animal bedding, and put in an ASP bin. If time
prevents any food waste from being processed before the end of the day, a thick layer
of wood chips will be placed over the food waste until it can be processed the next day.
Any residuals in the receiving area will be removed and the area cleaned with a hose.
A sign is posted at the entrance of the site providing a description of the feedstocks and
residuals received, the types of waste prohibited, operating hours, permit number, and
emergency contact phone numbers. The sign also states that no hazardous waste,
asbestos containing waste, or medical waste can be received at the site, and that the
site will not accept feedstocks or residuals from the general public. In the case of a fire
or other emergency, 911 will be called to dispatch the appropriate emergency
department personnel and equipment. The NC State Waste Reduction and Recycling
(WRR) Manager will also be notified. If the Compost Facility Operator or WRR Manager
cannot be reached in the event of an emergency, the following will serve as contacts for
this facility: NC State Customer Service, 919-515-2991.
The site the facility is located on is bordered on all sides by trees/woods. These provide
natural boundary markers that keep the site in compliance with required setbacks to the
property line or to other nearby residences, wells, floodplains, etc. The gravel road that
encircles the facility marks the boundary of the composting operation, and all operations
of actively composting material are located within the 25' buffer of the swale that runs
adjacent to the gravel perimeter road.
One full time staff member operates the facility, and they are assisted by student interns
or other NC State staff. The following are the responsibilities of the Facility Operator:
• Open the site in the morning
• Receive food waste, yard waste, and animal bedding
• Combine food waste and yard waste to the optimal ratios for composting and
pre-process in the mix/grinder

• Load/unload materials from the ASP bins
• Maintain material tracking input/output log, as well as time and temperature log
for materials while composting
• Site cleaning and maintenance
• Screening of compost
• Removal of contaminants
• Load finished compost into trucks
• Provide tours
• Maintain vegetation at the site
• Maintain entrance and perimeter roads
• Secure site at the end each day
• Collect compost samples for testing
• Maintain DEQ permit compliance
In accordance with the personnel training requirements described in Rule .1406
(19)(a)and (b),1406 (c), the Compost Facility Operator and Compost Facility Manager
have both achieved compost operator certification by the US Composting Council.
The composting process begins with the arrival of the carbon source — wood chips and
animal bedding. Wood chips are stored on a 1,000 square foot area located at the
northwest part of the site. Animal bedding is stored on a 2,500 square foot area of the
pad. Food waste is delivered once or twice per week. Food waste is delivered twice per
week by a front-end loading refuse truck which unloads into the waste receiving area.
Once the food waste is received, it is loaded into the Penta mixer/grinder along with
wood chips, animal bedding, and overs/finished compost for pre-processing and
homogenizing. The mixer/grinder is equipped with a scale, and this is utilized to achieve
the proper ratio of carbon to nitrogen. This is the point where the bulk density/porosity
and moisture level are adjusted to the proper levels. After homogenizing the feedstocks,
they are transported to the ASP bins and placed on a bed of wood chips. Once the bin
is full, a biofilter of finished compost, overs, or wood chips that are at least 6" thick is
used to cap the pile. This prevents odors and helps keep animals away from the pile.
After the biofilter is added, the air blower is turned on. After time and temperature
requirements are met, the blower is turned off. This stage of composting takes 3-4
weeks. From here, the compost moves out to the pad and cures. After the pile stabilizes
and cures for —90 days, it is screened in the screening area. The contamination from the
screening process is disposed of in a landfill dumpster, or recycled if possible. The
wood chip overs are used as a carbon source and bulking agent in future batches of
compost. Finished compost is tested in accordance with Rule .1408, and stored in the
storage area until needed in the campus landscape.

When loads of feedstocks are received at the site, the site operator will perform an
inspection to identify any contaminants. Contaminants will be removed by hand to the
extent possible and disposed of in an onsite dumpster or recycling bin, which will be
emptied every week and taken to either the Wake County Landfill or to a recycling
facility. If any hazardous, universal, or regulated waste is found, NC State
Environmental Health and Safety will immediately be notified to come handle and
dispose of it properly. With food waste and animal bedding feedstocks being generated
exclusively on the NC State campus, we maintain greater control over what comes to
the site and should not have any unexpected loads of unacceptable material.
Any odorous residuals are incorporated into the composting process and topped with a
biofilter of compost to eliminate or greatly reduce the odor. Any residual liquids left after
the food waste is received are washed down the drain by a water hose and captured in
the 1,500 gallon storage tank. There are currently no plans to add amendments to the
compost.
Wood chip and animal bedding piles will be no larger than 50' wide and 30' tall. Food
waste is delivered to a 20' x 25' receiving area and will not be stored in a pile. Compost
piles will be less than 12 feet wide x 16 feet deep x 10 feet tall inside the ASP bins.
Curing piles, as well as finished compost storage will be less than 50' wide and less
than 30' tall. There will be a minimum of 20 feet between the wood chip storage area,
curing piles, screening area, and finished compost storage area to allow for vehicular
access in the event of a fire. Curing compost windrows are typically only around 10'
wide. These narrow windrows could be piled directly next to each other in pairs, leaving
20' between double rows to allow for access. 25' will be maintained between
composting areas and swales or berms.
As a Type 3 compost facility, this site will adhere to the time and temperature
requirements in Rule .1406, and the composting process will qualify as a process to
further reduce pathogens (PFRP). Aerobic conditions will be maintained, and the piles
will be maintained at a temperature of at least 131 degrees F or greater for at least
three days. This will be accompanied by temperatures of at least 104 degrees F for 14
days or longer and the average temperature for this time will be higher than 113
degrees F. Temperatures will be measured using a probe thermometer, which will be
calibrated at least once per year using the ice water method. Temperatures will be
recorded daily, Monday through Friday, at a depth of 24 to 36 inches, and at several
places in the pile that represent the entire pile; usually one along the back of the pile,
one in the middle of the pile, and one at the front of the pile.

Utilizing the aerated static pile method of composting, it is important to ensure that
carbon to nitrogen ratio, moisture content, and porosity are at the proper levels prior to
beginning the composting process. Levels can be found below in Table 2.

Recipe calculations and the scale in the mixer/grinder will ensure that the
carbon -to -nitrogen ratio will be between 25:1 and 40:1. Moisture content of the
homogenized feedstocks will be adjusted to the proper level of 50-60% (wet basis) prior
to loading the bins. A simple way to monitor the moisture content is to take a handful of
material from the pile and squeeze it. If only one or two drops of water is released, the
mixture has adequate moisture content of around 50%. Oxygen levels in the bins are
monitored periodically using an oxygen probe. On a daily basis oxygen saturation in the
bins are monitored by looking at the pressure gauge on the air blower. If the pressure
reads between 10-20 PSI, there is adequate oxygen flow through the pile. Placing a bed
of wood chips on the floor of the bin helps ensure unobstructed airflow into the pile, and
using wood chips as a carbon source helps ensure proper porosity and airflow
throughout the pile. The ultimate indicator of an imbalance of either C:N ratio, moisture
level, porosity, is the absence of uniform temperatures in the pile, or the complete failure
of the pile to achieve temperatures of at least 131 degrees F.
The method of aeration provided is one MEDO air blower per bin, connected to
perforated PVC pipes which are recessed into the bin floor. 1/16" holes are spaced
every 12" along the PVC pipe. The hole diameter and spacing is designed to allow the
blowers to be left on continually until the pile is ready to be moved to the curing area.

Once in the curing area, the curing windrows do not receive forced air and are passively
aerated. If the piles need to be turned, this can be done with a skid steer.
By maintaining a proper carbon -to -nitrogen ratio, moisture level, porosity, and oxygen
level, an environment is created for microorganisms to thrive and odors to be kept at a
minimum. To further reduce the chance of odors from the piles, a biofilter of at least 6"
of finished compost or a carbon -rich material such as sawdust or wood chips is used to
"cap" the pile.
In accordance with Rule .1407 (b), a composite sample of the compost produced will be
analyzed every six months. A composite sample from within six months will be analyzed
for the following metals: arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, molybdenum, nickel, selenium,
and zinc. A representative composite sample will be collected and analyzed for
pathogens (either fecal coliform or salmonella. The concentration of pathogens shall not
exceed the limits listed in 40 CFR 503.32(a)(3). The sample for pathogens will be
collected as a composite sample from finished compost onsite on the same day it is
taken to the lab for analysis. The sample should be processed within the hold time
required by the lab testing procedure, which is usually 24 hours. The sample that is
collected for metals analysis is to be collected and composited over a six-month period
from each batch of compost. At least three individual samples (of equal volume) will be
taken from each batch produced in separate areas along the side of the batch. Each
sampling point will be at a depth of two to six feet into the pile from the outside surface
of the pile. Man-made inert tests are performed by in-house personnel. They will be
determined by passing a dried, weighted sample of the compost product through a
one -quarter inch screen. EPA Method 160.3 shall be used to dry the sample. The
material remaining on the screen shall be visually inspected, and the foreign matter that
can be clearly identified shall be separated and weighed. The weight of the separated
foreign matter divided by the weight of the total sample shall be determined and
multiplied by 100. This shall be the percent dry weight of the foreign matter content.
Recordkeeping will conform to provisions detailed in .1408 (b) and (c).
Compost that has fully cured, and is in compliance with Rule .1407, is utilized on the NC
State Campus and is not sold to the general public. No agriculture nutrient claims are
made for the compost, for fertilizer or soil additives. Compost is loaded into trucks with
the skid steer and a separate bucket from the one used to manage the raw feedstocks.
From there the compost is utilized throughout the university landscape, including
top -dressing turf, in new plant installations, in planter boxes and pots, at the NC State
Agroecology Farm. Compost is also used as part of faculty and student research. An
alternative for residues or finished compost that cannot be utilized in the campus
13

landscape or at the NC State Agroecology Farm will be land application at the NC State
Lake Wheeler Field Lab farms.
Record keeping and annual reporting will be in accordance with Rule .1408 (b), (c), and
(d). The facility operator maintains daily records of temperature data (length of the
composting period) and quantity of material processed. The operator also maintains
analytical results on compost testing. Also recorded are the quantity, type and source of
waste received, the quantity and type of waste processed into compost, the quantity
and type of compost produced by product classification, the quantity and type of
compost removed for use or disposal, by product classification, and the market or
permitted disposal facility. Included in the records will be personnel training, inspection
reports, and odor complaints and actions taken. A copy of the permit, operations plan,
and site drawings are kept on -site at all times. Records are available for inspection by
Division personnel during normal business hours and will be sent to the Division upon
request. Annual reporting for the period of July 1 to June 30 will be submitted to the
Division by August 1. Annual reports will include the facility name, address, and permit
number, as well as the total quantity in tons, and type of waste received at the facility
during the year. Also included are the total quantity in tons and type of waste processed
into compost, the total quantity in tons and type of compost produced at the facility, by
product classification, the total quantity in tons and type of compost removed for use or
disposal from the facility, by product classification, along with a general description of
the market it went to. Monthly temperature monitoring to support Rule .1406 and the
results of tests required in Rule .1408 Table 3 will also be included. Temperature log
forms are electronic and are maintained at Google Sheets in the Waste Reduction and
Recycling Google Team Drive. These will be available throughout the year upon
request..
There are two separate 1,500 gallon septic tanks equipped with aerators that are used
to collect processed water from the food waste receiving area, as well as any leachate
that comes from composting in the ASP bins. Aerating this water keeps the microbes
alive and allows it to be used to increase the moisture content in the feedstock mixture
during pre-processing. Once the pile is capped with the biofilter, this process water is
not used. If the storage tanks become full, they will be pumped as needed and the water
disposed of at a wastewater treatment facility or discharged into a pile of wood chips on
the pad. We typically use all of the water in the tanks and do not have excess. Surface
water will not come into contact with actively composting materials that have not
achieved PFRP/VAR or raw food waste, as the ASP bins and food waste receiving area
are all under a roof. All water that flows from the site will either drain directly or flow
through swales into the sediment basin in the southeast corner of the site. From there,

the water will flow under the perimeter road in a 15" pipe, and through vegetation to a
wet detention pond.
To prevent fires, the facility operator will maintain adequate moisture in the piles and
keep the pile sizes as small as possible. In the event of a fire, the operator will
immediately dial 911. A skid steer will be used to separate material to prevent the fire
from spreading and aid in smothering the fire. Access around the perimeter of the
composting areas will be maintained at all times. Site personnel will be adequately
trained in site -specific safety, remedial and corrective action procedures. The local fire
protection agency will be able to assist with a fire. Any fire will be reported to the Solid
Waste Division within 24 hours, followed by a written notification of the details of the fire
within 15 days of the incident. NC State's Fire and Life Safety is aware of the facility and
provides/maintains fire extinguishers at the facility. The Raleigh Fire Department has
been notified of the facility as well.
To maintain the property in a sanitary condition, the food waste receiving area has been
equipped with a drain that empties into a 1,500 gallon septic tank. This allows for liquid
from the raw food waste feedstocks to be contained and handled in a sanitary manner.
The food waste receiving area will also be hosed down and scrubbed with a brush to
maintain cleanliness. At the end of each operating day, the food waste receiving area
will be clean and all feedstocks will be processed/mixed or properly stored with a 6"
thick layer of wood chips over the food waste. Blowing dust will be minimized to the
greatest extent possible by wetting materials down when they become so dry that dust
forms. Litter will be picked up as soon as it is noticed and contained in a dumpster. If
litter blows from the receiving or screening areas, it is usually contained to the tall grass.
The vegetation along the woodline acts as a final buffer for preventing litter from leaving
the site.
Noise levels are representative of typical farm operations, and there is no increase in
noise levels during the operation of the facility. Materials attracting vectors are
incorporated into the composting piles on the day they arrive onsite. Ponding water will
also be prevented to reduce vector attraction to standing water. The site is graded to
allow adequate drainage from the site and prevent the puddling of water. Routine site
maintenance will be performed to reduce standing water onsite. To prevent blowing
litter, the facility staff will remove any noticeable litter by hand as soon as it is noticed.
Litter that gets screened out of the finished compost is removed from the overs pile to
the greatest extent possible. In the event litter goes unnoticed, the trees and vegetation
surrounding the site will prevent it from leaving the property. The perimeter of the site
will be patrolled on a regular basis to collect any litter. Any materials that become dry
and have the potential to generate dust will be wetted with a hose to the greatest extent

possible. Inadvertent dust generated by the site that cannot be contained with a hose
will be stopped by the tall trees and vegetation that surrounds the site.
If the wind levels become excessive, screening operations will not take place and will
resume when the wind subsides to a level that does not blow material around. Heavy
rains will prevent cured compost from being screened, but since the receiving area and
ASP bins are under roofs, the composting operation will continue in periods of heavy
rain. In the event of snow or freezing weather, feedstocks will not be brought to the site,
and the material already being composted will continue the process.
If one skid steer breaks down, we have a second one at the site that can be used to
continue operations. If the screener breaks down, its repair will be prioritized and
screening will be postponed until it is fixed. We do not anticipate traffic patterns
changing and affecting the facility, as it is located on a road that is owned and
maintained by the university. If necessary, delivery schedules can be modified to
prevent undesirable traffic conditions. For long-term power outages, generator/s will be
brought to the site to keep the blowers functioning. Cracks in the concrete will be
patched and repaired as needed. If there happens to be any spills at the site, depending
on what type of material is spilled, NC State Environmental Health and Safety will be
called to direct with the cleanup. Since the potential for odor generation does exist at
this facility, the operational procedures provided by the system manufacturer (found in
Appendix D), along with best management practices, will be followed to minimize
potential annoyances.
Safety procedures for onsite equipment begin with the proper training/certification for
the operator prior to their use. Additionally, equipment is to be inspected prior to its use
every day. The pre-processing mixer/grinder is to be operated in accordance with the
directions found in the Owner's Manual, and a great deal of caution will be utilized to
prevent injuries. The pre -operation checklist should be completed prior to every use.
The mixer/grinder is loaded with a skid steer, and loads are analyzed prior to loading to
prevent any objects from entering the machine that could cause damage. No one will be
allowed inside the machine, and bystanders are cleared from the area prior to starting.
At the end of every use, the mixer/grinder is shut off and as an additional safeguard, the
breaker shut off and the panel door is locked. Prior to unloading incoming feedstocks,
the receiving area is to be clear of people and debris, with the exception of a layer of
wood chips to prevent the drain from clogging. When loading materials into the
mixer/grinder or the ASP bins, the area is also to be clear of people or debris. A clear
line of sight will be maintained by the skid steer operator. Proper personal protective
equipment such as steel -toe boots, gloves, ear protection, safety glasses, a reflective

vest, and a dust mask will be provided to the facility operator. Daily and weekly safety
meetings are held with staff, and each week's safety topic is different.
In the unfortunate event that the site should close or become inactive for at least 60
days (other than seasonal reasons), all feedstocks, waste, and compost will be removed
from the site within 60 days. If remaining feedstocks cannot be composted onsite, they
will be loaded into a truck and transported to Brooks Contractor in Goldston, NC for
composting. Alternatively, and as a last resort, food waste can be taken to the Wake
County landfill. If any yard waste needs to be removed from the site, it will be disposed
of at the City of Raleigh's yard waste facility. Leachate that has been collected in the two
1,500 gallon tanks will be pumped by a septic pumping company and disposed of at a
wastewater treatment facility. Any finished compost that cannot be utilized immediately
in the campus landscape will be applied in the fields of the Lake Wheeler Field Lab
farms.

Section 5 - Odor Control Plan
Potential odor sources can be found in Exhibit 4, on the Process Flow Diagram. They
include the food waste receiving area (1c), the leachate collection tanks (1d), the
preprocessing mixer/grinder (2), and the actively composting ASP bins (3). Winds
predominantly blow from the west, west-northwest, west-southwest, and southwest. The
topography of the site decreases in elevation from the northwest to the southeast. The
Compost Facility Operator and all other applicable personnel are trained to identify the
sources of odors and to mitigate odors before they become a nuisance. Personnel will
also be trained to manage odor complaints, and mediate them with assistance from the
manager. A weather station is located near the top of the gravel road leading to the
facility on Inwood Road, and is used for monitoring wind direction. We are looking into
installing a weather station at the facility to have pinpointed wind data.
Each of the feedstocks we receive have different characteristics. Wood chips are very
stable and do not produce an odor. Animal bedding has a minimal amount of equine
manure in it, and the ratio of wood shavings to manure prevents any type of noticeable
odor unless you are directly next to the pile. Food waste has a distinct odor when it is
delivered, and can produce foul odors if left unprocessed for long periods of time.
Odorous feedstocks will be mixed into the compost process as quickly as possible.
Onsite odor is monitored on a continual basis throughout the week. If odor is noticed,
the Odor Monitoring Form, which is located electronically in the WRR Google Drive, is
filled out. When the source is identified, it is recorded and data including date, time,
site -specific conditions, weather conditions, wind direction, and characteristics and
intensity of odor is recorded. Complaint record keeping will be maintained electronically
on our electronic Odor Complaint Form, and will be made available upon request.
If a complaint is received, a complaint record will be made by completing the Odor
Complaint Form that is located electronically in the WRR Google Drive. This includes
the date, complainant information, apparent source of the odor, location of offsite odor,
and actions that were taken to mitigate the odor. Records of complaints will be kept
onsite. If offsite odors are confirmed, the compost operator will take actions to mitigate
the odor.
Personnel will monitor offsite locations for odor, keeping records of date, time, site
specific conditions, weather conditions, wind direction, and characteristics and intensity
of odor. The complaint will be checked against the Odor Monitoring Form.
Site personnel will compare the above information with known activities onsite (such as
feedstock/waste unloading, certain types of feedstock arrival, moving material to

windrows, etc.) to determine possible causes of the offsite odor. The superintendent of
the Lake Wheeler Field Labs will also be notified.
The composting system and site are designed to eliminate and reduce odors at their
source to the greatest extent possible. The site is surrounded on all sides by large,
mature trees that act as a windbreak. Conditions can still get windy onsite, so it is
important that the proper composting process is followed to prevent piles from
becoming anaerobic and producing foul odors. This includes mixing the initial
feedstocks to the proper C:N ratio, moisture level, bulk density, porosity, and oxygen
concentration. It is also important to not allow food waste to sit for long before it is mixed
into compost. All loads of food waste are to be processed on the day they are received,
and each pile in the ASP bin will have a 6" biofilter layer applied. If there is an
unforeseen circumstance that prevents same -day processing, a 6" layer of wood chips
will be placed over the food waste until it can be processed (ideally the next morning).
Moisture is adjusted in the mixer/grinder before material is placed in the ASP bin. There
will be enough moisture to sustain the pile throughout the composting and curing
process. While the mix is in the ASP bin, forced air will be continuous throughout the
pile. The use of ASP composting method with a biofilter applied to the piles helps
reduce odors since the pile does not need to be opened and turned while it is actively
composting in the bins. Once the piles are moved to the field for curing, there will no
longer be forced aeration and the piles will be passively aerated. The curing piles are
not turned.
Leachate is collected in two 1500-gallon tanks with aerators. Aerators need to be
maintained so the leachate collection tanks do not become anaerobic and emit odors.
Since piles are not regularly turned throughout the ASP composting process, monitoring
wind and weather conditions is of less importance at our facility. For the one time the
pile is opened and moved from the ASP bin to a windrow in the field, we try to make
sure it is not overly windy.
If airborne emissions are identified to be a problem and cause unpleasant odors, a
biofilter of 6" of finished compost will be added to the windrows or piles.
The Odor Monitoring Form and Odor Complaint Form can both be found in Exhibit 6.

SPECIFICATION
DESCRIPTION
PENTA TMR Mixers consist of Augers, Cutting Knifes, Conveyors, Weighing systems, Hoppers &
Gearing, mounted on a towable chassis which is powered by PTO along with a 12V power supply.
Penta prides itself with providing various combinations of options to suit the farmer and operational
needs.
INTENDED USE
TMR mixers give extreme flexibility to ration formulation and feed. They provide a great opportunity to mix
and match all forage types, commodities and feed additives. PENTA TMR mixers are ideal for cutting / mixing
and distributing feed to livestock. A typical mix is made of powder, liquid, granular, silage commodities &
forage baling materials/crops.
The benefits of vertical -auger TMR mixers are:
1) Flexibility
2) Inclusion of any type of forage/storage method, at high levels
3) Utilization of low quality forages
4) Inclusion of commodities
5) Ration homogeneity - acidosis control
6) Mixing precision
7) Or process the compost material to any length , depending on the time running.

Mixer power
Wire up the power box to 240volt:
203OVS 240volt, 50amp breaker.
2030Comp, 20hp, 2X240volt 80amp breakers.

The TROM 406HMSL portable screening plant is designed to be easily
transported both on and off your work site. It utilizes a military pintle style
connection common on many heavy duty tow vehicles. This type of connec-
tion offers simplicity of use, ex-
cellent strength and safety. An
appropriate tow vehicle for the
TROM 406HMSL is, at a mini-
mum, a 3/4-ton truck with a
maximum towing speed of 50
The TROM 406HMSL is
equipped with electric brakes
that must be properly connected
to the tow vehicle. They are

them with a matching plug for their vehicle. The TROM 406HMSL is also
equipped with a break -away switch that must be connected to the tow vehicle
using the supplied looped steel cable. This break -away system will lock the
trailer brakes in the event of the tow vehicle becoming separated from the
trailer. Check with your local authorities to see what sort of lighting and sign -
age is required for your area. Typically magnetic attachment lights and reflec-
tors are used to meet these requirements
