ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

1. The facility is permitted as a large Type 1 compost facility and may accept only land clearing debris (vegetative
material such as stumps, tree trunks and branches and wood chips), yard trash (including grass clippings and
leaves) and clean, untreated, unpainted wood waste (such as crates and pallets). No composting is currently
taking place at the facility due to the need to modify the existing storm water permit to include the expanded
operations.
2. Ms. Knowles stated that the city’s grinding contractor had just completed grinding operations and was in the
process of removing the logs, firewood and processed wood waste from the site. She added that no other
operations had taken place at the facility under the new permit, pending receipt of an approved stormwater
permit.
3. Ms. Knowles explained that city staff perform curbside brush collection year-round, and new wood waste
stockpiles were observed at the site.
4. The site was observed to be very clean and well-maintained. No windblown litter was found, and no ponding
water was visible.
5. The access roadways are of all-weather construction and in good condition.
6. The site is secured by means of a perimeter fence and a gate which is kept locked when city staff are not
present.
7. Proper signage was observed at the entry gate.
8. The facility also serves as an approved temporary disaster debris storage site (DS79-002), and is in condition to
accept disaster debris.
