General Information
The Mecklenburg County Compost and Recycling Facility is located on 55 acres at 140Valleydale Road. The land is located within the limits of the City of Charlotte. An
additional portion of the land is used for a full service, staffed recycling center. The facility
is designed to receive up to approximately 122,000 tons of yard waste.
There will be two scales at the compost and recycling facility. All paying customersdisposing of material and customers purchasing products must cross the scale at the
scalehouse for transactions.
All incoming material is weighed with the exception of pick-up and automobile traffic.These customers are charged by the size of vehicle and their weight is based upon volume.Material sent out as boiler fuel in tractor trailers is weighed using the scales. Material being
sold (compost, mulch, nuggets, and etc.) is sold on a per cubic yard basis.
Compost will be tested on a regular basis. Testing may include the U.S. Composting
Council’s Seal of Testing Assurance (STA) Program.

Quality Assurance Plan
Inspection of Incoming Material
1.The cashier initially performs visual screening of incoming material at the time it
is being weighed. The inspection is to insure that no municipal solid waste,
recyclables, household hazardous waste, treated wood, dirt or other contaminants
are in the load.
2.If any of these items are detected at this time, the customer is directed to dispose of
the materials either at the on-site full-service recycling center or at another
appropriate approved disposal facility.
3.On-site compost facility staff perform secondary screening on the tipping pad.
These operators inspect the material both at the time of tipping as well as
immediately before the material is placed into the tub grinders to ensure that
material type as well as size are appropriate to be processed by the grinders.
4.Should any non-conforming waste be detected by the operators during grinding
operations, the waste will be removed from the site to be disposed properly.
Material Preparation
1.After inspection, the material is processed through a grinder.
2.The ground material is then removed from the processing area and either placedinto windrows for composting or shipped off site for use in other markets.
3.Upon placement of the material into windrows, moisture requirements are
determined by performing a squeeze test of the material:
a.A handful of material is gathered and squeezed in one hand.
b.If the material does not stay in a ball, but falls apart after squeezing it, the
moisture is probably below 50%.
c.If the material stays in a ball and little or no moisture drips from the ball,
then this is interpreted as 40%-60% moisture – the optimum moisturecontent.
d.If water is dripping from the ball of material, then moisture content is most
likely above 65%.
4.Natural rainfall usually provides enough water to keep the moisture content of thematerial at optimum conditions. The windrows will generally be turned when it is
raining in order to incorporate moisture throughout the windrow. In the event of a
3
low rainfall period, water hydrants are located on site to provide additional water
to maintain optimal moisture content in the windrows. Additional equipment may
be used as needed to incorporate moisture in the process.
5.In normal operations, high nitrogen yard wastes are incorporated into windrows assoon as possible to minimize odors. All yard waste, including green waste (grass
clippings), under normal operating conditions is processed through the grinder in a
timely manner. The grinding process gives the material its initial charge of oxygen
for its aerobic decomposition. Under normal operating conditions, the material isthen incorporated into windrows within a timely manner if space is available or is
sent out to be used in other markets. Mecklenburg County may use bulking agents
or amendments based on market conditions and material availability.
Composting Process
1.Generally, the windrowed material will be turned as needed using mechanized
equipment suitable for the operation. Material will be turned to maintain aerobicconditions and maximize composting operations.
2.Throughout the composting process the material is monitored qualitatively for
moisture content and aesthetics.
3.Temperature measurements will be collected at least once a week to ensure thatcompost is maintained at or above 55oC (131oF) for at least three (3) days. The
material will be aerated as needed using mechanized equipment to ensure
temperatures are being maintained. The temperature will be measured with a four-
foot thermometer fully inserted toward the cross-sectional center of the windrow.
Final Product
1.The compost material is turned regularly until the internal temperature falls below55 °C.
2.Upon reaching the desirable temperature the material is screened to remove any
off-spec material.
3.The material not passing the screen is returned for reprocessing. Residues and
off-spec materials generated from the composting process may also be sold as a
supplemental fuel or disposed of in an approved disposal facility.
4.The material passing the screen is placed in a curing pile separate from the rest ofthe facility for ultimate distribution.
4
5.The finished compost will be sold primarily to residents, landscapers, and
landscape supply companies for use as a soil amendment. Mecklenburg Countywill continue to explore various markets as they become available.
6.Mecklenburg County may use bulking agents or amendments based on market
conditions and material availability.
Contingency Plan
Equipment Breakdown
1.All equipment has at least one backup. The concern that all pieces of a specific kindof equipment are out of service for any period of time is minimal.
Non-conforming Waste
1.All waste is screened as described in the Quality Assurance Plan. Waste notconforming to the facility’s compost permit is not excepted at the facility.
2.Should waste not conforming to the facility’s permit be received at the tipping area,
any contaminants are immediately loaded back onto the vehicle from which it came
and are redirected to a proper solid waste management facility.
3.Should any non-conforming waste be detected by the operators during grinding
operations, the waste is removed from the site to be disposed of in a proper solid
waste management facility.
4.Mecklenburg County may use this facility to process storm debris and vegetative
material during inclement weather situations. The amount of material to be
processed on site could exceed the design amount by as much as 100%.
Fire Contingency
1.The local Fire Department station will be made aware of the compost facility and
the nature of its operation.
2.Threat of fire is minimized by not allowing stock piles to age over four weeks and
by keeping its volume to a minimum.
3.Water hydrants area located throughout the site in case of a fire.
4.All pieces of equipment will include a fire extinguisher.
5
Vectors and Odors
1.Vectors are rarely a problem for yard waste (Type I) composting facilities.
2.The timely manner in which yard waste is ground and placed into windrows will
assist in the prevention of vectors.
3.To minimize odors, incoming yard waste will be ground in a timely manner undernormal operating conditions. Ground yard waste will either be placed in a windrow
or removed from the site. Material will be turned as needed to ensure that aerobic
conditions prevail. To minimize airborne particles, moisture may be incorporated
into materials when needed.
6
Reporting and Record keeping
1.An annual report, covering the period from July 1 to June 30, will be submitted tothe North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR)by August 1 for the prior year. The annual report shall contain the information ascontained in Section 1408 of the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Rules.
Note:Monitoring records are maintained for five years and are available for inspection by division
personnel. Records include daily quantity of processed material, temperature data, quantity and
source of material received, and the quantity and type of material removed for the use or disposal
by product classification and the market or permitted disposal facility.
