3. Leaves were collected by Town of Sylva staff and placed in two wind rows. The collection of leaves began
on October and finished about four weeks ago. Only leaves and a very small amount of woody vegetation
were observed in the pile. Temperatures were taken on a semi -regular basis. Additional temperature records
were received on January 25, 2011 which indicated temperatures taken in December were above the 131 °F
requirement, however, the temperatures were not taken consecutive days. Temperatures need to be taken on
consecutive days when temperatures reach 131 °F to ensure that the requirement in 15A NCAC 13B .1406
(10) is met.
15A NCAC 13B .1406 (10) states: "Compost process at Type I facilities shall be maintained at or above 55
degrees Celsius (131 degrees F) 3 days and aerated to maintain elevated temperatures. "
