Section 2 - Siting Requirements (Omitted -Not Required for Permit Renewal)
Section 3 - Design Plan - Provide a narrative discussion, broken into
appropriate sections, that includes the following items:
1. List the types of feedstocks, residuals, bulking materials, and
amendments to be accepted (for example, yard waste, land clearing
debris, pre -consumer food waste, post -consumer food waste, grease trap
waste, agricultural waste, etc.). For each material, provide a
description, list the sources, and indicate whether it will be accepted
from the general public. Analytical data will be required for materials
that could contain metals or other contaminants, such as Commercial or
industrial by-products. For Type 4 wastewater treatment plant
sludge/biosolids, provide analytical analysis of total metals by SW-
846 methods, for arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, molybdenum,
nickel, selenium, and zinc, for each waste source.
Craven Ag Services, Inc. accepts these raw material items as
feedstocks, bulking material, and amendments in their process for
turning waste into a value-added product of compost material:
Raw Material Feedstocks/Bulking Material
• Dewatered grease trap waste
• Dewatered septage
• Dewatered portable toilet waste
• Sawdust from local manufacturing plant wood shavings
• Sawdust from ground pallets (nail free)
• Animal litter or transport bedding materials from livestock
operations
• DAF Skimming - Food Processing
• Scraped animal manure straw bedding material from the on -site
• Free -stall dairy, horse, or cattle barns
3 1 P a g e

• Poultry litter from local poultry growers
• Untreated wallboard from home/mobile home
construction/manufacture
• Pre- and post -consumer food waste
• Hay/straw harvested from the land application fields
• Ground corn cobs
• Ground and un-ground yard waste
• Field crop residue
• Construction debris (clean wood scrap from construction
operations)
• Vegetative agricultural/agribusiness wastes (wet indigestible
hay or forage, corn stover, cotton gin trash, peanut hulls,
tobacco scraps/spoilage, tobacco dust)
• Land clearing debris material
• Seafood processing wastes (crab scrap, fish processing wastes)
Amendments incorporated with Finished Product
• Lime mud from water treatment operations
• Non -toxic non -hazardous combustion dust and ash
2. Provide an estimate of the total amount of materials to be received at
the facility per day, week, or month, in tons or cubic yards. Provide
an approximate amount for each type of feedstock to be received, per
day, week, or month. Describe any seasonal variation for any of the
materials.
• The facility is intended to accommodate up to 50,000 tons per
year of compostable materials. These materials will be
received on a varying schedule and daily receipts may exceed
100 tons, while annual processing will not exceed 50,000 tons.
This schedule supports 300 days of active operation per year.
Compost mixes or blends will be developed each day based on
incoming feedstocks and ultimate market opportunity. Coarse
materials will be used to produce silvicultural product while
the finer textured materials will be mixed and blended for the
horticulture and bioretention blend markets.
The waste production assumptions for the compost operation are
as follows:
a. 50,000 gallons grease trap waste processed 5 days per week
(10 to 20 dry tons/day after dewatering)
b. gallons of septage processed 5 days per week (10 to 20 dry
tons per day after dewatering)
c. 5,000 gallons of portable toilet waste processed 5 days/week
(().5 DT/D)
4 1 P a g e

d. 20,000 pounds
e. 100,000 pounds
commercial,
sources.
(10 tons) of vegetative waste per day received
(50 tons) per day feedstock from municipal,
agricultural/agribusiness, and industrial
3. Provide the design capacity of the facility, best estimate. The site
capacity is the incoming volume, or throughput, per year, and is based
on the compost method, duration of the process, and the size of the
facility. Show calculations for Large Type 3 and 4 facilities. This is
for information purposes only, not to be used as a limit.
The facility is currently permitted to process up to 50,000 tons per
year of compostable materials. Since beginning operations, the mixing,
blending, and windrowing of the feedstocks has remained consistent.
The configuration and size of the fresh compost windrows is controlled
by the use of the Midwest Aeromaster PT-130 Compost Turner. The
windrows are 5.5 ft. high with an llft. base, resulting in approximately
1.12 cubic yards of compost per linear foot of windrow per manufacturer
specifications. Spacing of the windrows is 20 ft. on center.
Windrows are managed within 4.7-acre area in the center of the facility.
Based on this permitted area and windrow configuration, the facility
final compost production capacity can be calculated as follows:
Assumptions:
Fresh Compost Weight Total = 2,200 lbs per cubic yard
Moisture loss, carbon oxidation, N & other nutrient flux out during composting
(55%-60% mass reduction estimate based on past operating results)
Finished Compost = 880 to 990 lbs per cubic yard
Each acre of windrow area can accommodate 2,180 linear ft. (using
optimum configuration)
4.7 acres x 2,180 In-ft = 10,246 In-ft
10,246 In-ft x 1.12 cubic yards/ln-ft = 11,475 cubic yards
11,475 cubic yards x 2,200 lbs-yd / 2,000 lbs-ton = 12,623 tons/turn
4 Turns per year = 50,492 tons of raw material input
4. Provide a description and sizing of the storage areas or containers
for feedstocks, amendment, recyclables, finished compost, and waste.
The feedstock receiving and storage area is comprised of 1.8 acres
located in the rear of the operations area. This area contains dry
feedstock storage, a 601x30' concrete mixing pad with 2' high push
walls, and the necessary equipment to mix the fresh compost blend for
windrowing on an adjacent area. A 20-30 cubic yard roll -off dumpster
5 1 P a g e

is positioned adjacent to the mixing pad for collection of foreign non
compostable material separated from incoming feedstocks.
Compost in the curing and finished stages is stored in the designated
3.0-acre front portion of the operations area. Dried alum from water
treatment and wood ash from nearby sources are also stored in this area
and are used for custom blending into the compost depending on customer
needs. A Trommel screen is in this area to screen the compost product
prior to load out. Trash or foreign material is removed and placed in
a 5 cubic yard dumpster.
5. Describe and provide compost recipes.
a. For Type 2 operations, describe plan for balancing the carbon
and nitrogen ratio ("browns" and "greens").
b. For Type 3 and Type 4 operations, provide carbon to nitrogen
ratio (C:N) testing and calculations. There are compost recipe
calculators online that can assist with this, balancing density,
moisture, and C:N ratio.
The exact blends and mixtures are developed based on proprietary
mixes and blends developed by Craven Ag Service, Inc., for specific
end uses or general compost production. The characteristics of a
portion of the raw materials used for compost mixture calculations
are described in the Operations and Maintenance Manual.
The composting operation serves primarily to receive feedstocks
and bulking materials listed in Section 3, of this document.
Composting septage arid dewatered grease trap wastes will allow an
increase in the hydraulic loads onto the land treatment operation
permitted for Craven Ag Service and to provide an outlet for solids
produced in dewatering operations operated by CAS. The mixtures of
substrate and waste should result in an initial C:N ratio of 30:1 and
a moisture content of 75%.

6. Describe methods used for measuring, shredding, mixing, and
proportioning feedstock materials, to ensure the proper ratios are met.
The dry feedstock materials are placed directly onto the pad and the
dewatered or processed septage/grease trap materials are placed over
the top of the material. These materials are mixed and blended using
a Loader in an approximate 50/50 ratio. These raw feedstock materials
are loaded via loader into the bulk mixer (Knight Mixer - RC 200
Series, see Appendix H). The proper ratio of material introduced onto
the mixing pad is determined by the number of "buckets" of material
placed by the loader. The bulk mixing operation thoroughly combines
the raw material.
7. Provide a process flow diagram of the entire operation, including the
type, size, and location of all major equipment, and feedstock flow
streams. The flow streams should indicate the quantity of materials by
weight and volume. Also include plans and specifications for the
facility, including manufacturer's performance data for all equipment
selected.
The process flow, equipment, feedstock flow, and facility plans and
specifications remain the same as in the previous permit application.
Refer to Appendix I for the original diagram.
8. Provide the anticipated process duration for each stage of the process,
including receiving, preparation, composting, curing, and
distribution.
Day-1: Receiving/Preparation: Unload wet waste from tanker truck
directly onto dry feedstock contained in the concrete mixing pad.
Combine materials with loader, then load the materials into the Knight
Bulk Mixer. Materials are transferred to the windrow lay down area and
unloaded in initial row configuration.
Day-2-20: Composting: Material in the windrows is turned with the
Aeromaster PT-130 Compost Turner as needed and determined by moisture
content and temperature. The objective is to maintain a minimum
temperature of 131°F for a continuous 15-day period to meet PFRP
requirements. Once the compost reaches temperatures above 131°F, the
windrow will be turned each 3rd day in the 15-day time window.
7 1 P a g e

Day-21-80: Curing: Material is moved to the curing area where it will
remain for 60-210 days, depending on the end use market.
Day-81+: Distribution: Material is screened and removed from the
operation area as it is sold in bulk form or bagged for specific
customer outlets.
9. Describe the compost method (windrow, static aerated pile, in -vessel,
etc.), and method for time and temperature monitoring.
The compost is generated in windrows that are 5.5 feet high by 11 feet
wide and are 20 feet apart -center to center. There is 9 feet between
compost windrows for access. The active compost windrows shall be
maintained between 131°F and 160°F for at least 15 consecutive days
with at least 5 turnings. The temperature is checked at 25-foot
intervals along the windrow length. The probe depth for temperature
monitoring is 24-36 inches. Turning compost windrows as needed and
monitoring temperatures are daily activities.
10. For outdoor facilities, describe surface water control features,
including run-on and run-off. Describe grading and sloping of site
surface to prevent ponding of water. Describe plan for operation of
the facility in wet weather. Surface water must be diverted from the
operational, compost curing, and storage areas. For sites that will
have run-off from the facility operation, a stormwater/wastewater
permit will most likely be required (see page 2 for contact
information).
The operational areas at this facility occupy the topographically
highest positions of the tract. In addition, the grading work conducted
during the facility development added elevation to the composting and
curing/storage area. Fill material of lower permeability was imported
to construct pads for these two areas as required by DEQ.
The operational areas have good positive drainage, with no ponding. As
the stormwater flows radially as sheet flow from the different
operational areas, it migrates through broad managed vegetated and
natural forested areas. The plant community sequesters nutrients that
exit the operational areas. The facility does have a shallow ditch that
conveys some of the storm water off the site to Taylor Creek.
Potential problems associated with excessively wet weather will be
addressed by not conducting new compost windrow construction during
adverse weather events. Wet conditions limit ingress and egress of
trucks delivering feedstocks to the site. The weather generally does
not prohibit access for compost windrow management due to the compacted
base material of the pad area. Therefore the existing windrows onsite
can continue to be managed when needed.
A Stormwater Permit application was submitted to NC DEQ DEMLR and was
received on May 3, 2022.
8 1 P a g e

11. Process water or contact water (water and liquid that has come in
contact with compost or feedstocks) may either be collected and
disposed of separately, or for some facilities, it may be approved for
combining with clean surface water run-off for discharge from the site
with a stormwater/wastewater permit. Describe the collection, storage,
and disposal of process water. Disposal could involve connection with
a sanitary sewer line, or collection in a holding tank, with the liquid
periodically pumped and removed from the site for proper disposal.
Process water may also be added back to the compost; however, time and
temperature requirements to reduce pathogens must begin again, and the
text should describe this.
Mixed contact water is managed by designed features consisting of
grading and swells to control and direct stormwater runoff into managed
vegetated and natural forested areas. A Stormwater Permit Application
was submitted to NC DEQ DEMLR on May 3, 2022. Mixed contact water
discharge will be covered under the pending stormwater permit.
12. Describe any amendments (lime, wood ash, gypsum, etc.) to be added to
the finished compost, if applicable, including the amount. For wood
ash, provide analytical data for total metals by methods in SW-846.
Describe storage of the amendments, maximum pile size, and
methods to prevent surface water run-on and run-off, if applicable. If
wood ash is added, it should be stated that samples for required
finished compost metals analysis will be taken from the compost after
the ash is added.
Dry Lime/sediment from water treatment operations and non-toxic/non-
hazardous combustion dust and ash are blended into the cured compost
prior to export, based on specific customer needs and end use.
13. Describe controls to address dust and other air emissions (example, a
spray mist for dust). For indoor facilities, describe how particulates
are minimized.
A water wagon connected to the windrow turner provides dust control.
It is designed to spray water into the compost as it is being turned,
preventing dust creation. The wagon can also be used to wet traffic
areas during excessively dry periods to control dust emission.
14. Describe any recycling or other material handling processes used at
the facility.
The included Operations Manual contains a detailed description of
material handling. See Appendix D
Section 4 - Operation Plan — Provide a narrative discussion, broken into

10. For Large Type 2, and all Type 3 and Type 4 facilities, describe
compliance with the personnel training requirements described in Rule
.1406 (19)(a) and (b), and .1406 (c). Existing facilities permitted
before Nov. 1, 2019 are required to meet the requirements of .1406
(19)(a) by no later than Nov. 1, 2022. Operators of new sites permitted
after November 1, 2019, are required to meet the rule within 18 months
of permit issuance.
• Billy, John, and Mac Dunham are planning to attend the operator
training in accordance with NCGS 130A 209.25 & 15A NCAC 13B .1406
(19). Each of the above is planning to become a Certified Compost
Operator prior to the deadline 11/l/2022
11. A narrative description of the compost process, from beginning to end,
to include arrival of materials, unloading, processing, mixing,
storage, composting, curing, testing, final product storage, and
removal from site. Describe the location that each of the activities
takes place, and the estimated time for composting and curing.
The composting process at the Craven Ag Service Compost Facility
may be described as follows: dry raw materials are received and
stored prior to use in the "dry material" storage areas. These
materials are combined with deliveries of wet raw materials and the
dewatered materials generated off -site at the Craven Ag dewatering
facility. The dry materials are placed directly onto the mixing pad
and the dewatered or processed septage/grease trap materials are
placed on top of the dry material. These materials are mixed and
blended using a Loader in an approximate 50/50 ratio. These raw
feedstock materials are loaded via loader into the bulk mixer
(Knight Mixer - RC 200 Series, see Appendix H) . The proper ratio
of material introduced onto the mixing pad is determined by the
number of "buckets" of material placed by the loader. The bulk
mixing operation thoroughly combines the raw material and "mixed"
raw materials are transferred to the compost production area. A
process flow diagram, showing the equipment and flow of materials
through the composting system is included in Appendix I.
Windrows are constructed with the loader, and then turned with an
Aeromaster PT-130 Windrow Turner. To achieve PFRP and VAR
compliance, 5 turnings in 15 days (approximately 72-hour intervals)
is required. After initial treatment in the compost windrows for
PFRP and VAR compliance, the compost is removed to the initial
storage or curing area, where it is allowed to complete the compost
121Page

curing process, typically 2 and 3 months but can last up to 9,
depending on the end use.
The curing/screening area is the final step in preparing the
compost distribution. Compost in the curing area will be turned
approximately once per week. This process is important in
developing stable compost suitable for a wide variety of end -
use applications. The stability and maturity of the compost will
be assessed through the Solvita test. Once the material has met
standards for the Solvita test, curing is complete, and the
material is mature compost suitable for any use. Load out and
distribution to customers occurs from the curing area.
12. Method for screening loads for unacceptable waste. Describe plan for
handling incoming loads that contain unacceptable waste. Describe
storage of the unacceptable waste, the frequency of removal of the
waste (at least weekly), and final disposition.
The various dry feedstock material is obtained from providers that
have been evaluated and approved by the facility operators, prior
to accepting product deliveries. Each load is also visually
inspected and if it contains unacceptable waste, the load is not
accepted, and the contents leave the premises without unloading.
Occasional material that is not compostable is removed during the
final screening process prior to compost distribution. These
screened out solid waste materials are stored in dumpsters for
ultimate landfill disposal
13. Any special feedstock or residual handling (e.g., odorous residuals,
liquids, etc.).
Some of the "wet" feedstocks have potential to contain odors. The
facility's standard process of unloading and dry feedstock blending
on the mixing pad, and windrow staging as deliveries are received,
has worked well to limit odor creation. If any strong odors need
additional abatement, the use of curing compost as a temporary
windrow cover can be added until active composting begins and
eliminates the odor condition.
14. Any amendment to be added to the compost, how it will be stored, and
when it will be added. If wood ash is used, also provide total metals
lab testing of the ash, and confirm that metals testing of the finished
compost will be after ash is added.
In certain final product compost blends, wood ash, and lime mud
from water treatment flocculation are added for their beneficial
soil amending characteristics. When on -site, these materials are
stored on the pad surface of the curing/storage area. These
amendments are blended into the finished compost as it is being
screened for distribution preparation. The ash from Craven Wood
Energy has been previously approved by NC DEQ DWM, and finished
1313age

compost has been analyzed multiple times in accordance with 15A
NCAC 13B .1408.
15. Processing activities to prepare materials for composting, such as
grinding.
There are none on site.
16. Pile sizes for feedstock, composting, curing, and final product storage
(width and height). Length is unlimited within the permitted boundary
of each area. Describe distance between rows, to provide vehicular
access in the event of a fire. Storage of wood debris, mulch, and
finished compost should be in rows no larger than 50 feet wide and 30
feet high.
Active compost windrows are 5.5' high by 11' wide and are 20' apart -
center to center providing 9' spacing. The dry feedstock pile(s)
are approximately 30' tall by 50' wide. Curing piles are 20' high
by 25'wide with 4' spacing. Finished product is 30'high by 50' wide
with 4' spacing.
17. Describe compliance with the time, temperature, and turning
requirements in Rule .1406 (11), (12), and (13), as appropriate for
the feedstock and compost method. Describe location of and spacing of
monitoring points, probe depth (at least 24 to 36 inches), monitoring
frequency, and recordkeeping. Monitoring frequency during the time and
temperature requirement period should be at least every other day, or
Monday -Wednesday -Friday if the site is not open on weekends. If the
site is operated to meet Rule (13)(a) for PFRP, then Rule (12) is
automatically met for VAR.
The active compost windrows are currently and will continue to be
maintained between 131°F and 160°F for a minimum of 15 consecutive
days. Additionally, windrow turning is done often enough to
maintain aerobic conditions, with no less than 5 turns during the
15-day period. By meeting this time/ threshold, both
.1406 (12) VAR & (13) PFRP are met. To monitor the temperature, a
long stem thermometer probe will be inserted 24-36" into the windrow
each day every 25' along the length in each active windrow.
18. Describe the probe thermometer to be used. Describe calibration of the
thermometer at least once per year, to include written documentation
of the calibration. Onsite calibration using ice water is an acceptable
method.
The facility currently utilizes a 36" REOTEMP probe -type dial stem
thermometer. The Ice water calibration method is used annually at
a minimum to assure proper quality control of the windrow
temperature monitoring.
141Page

19. Describe other monitoring, such as moisture content, oxygen level,
porosity, carbon to nitrogen ratio testing, etc., including method and
frequency.
The windrows are observed daily during the critical 15-day period
for meeting the desired temperature range (except Sundays). While
collecting the temperature data, the experienced composting
operator can observe moisture content by using the "hand squeeze"
method and oxygen by direct observation without need for
instrumentation. As for the C:N ratio, the dry and wet feedstock
material mixture remains constant primarily because the
characteristics of the incoming feedstocks do not change
significantly.
20. The method of aeration provided, frequency, and the capacity of aeration
equipment, for both composting and curing piles.
Aeration is provided by an 11' width compost turner, the Aeromaster
PT130-Series. At the minimum speed of 20 feet per minute, the unit
can turn 22.4 cubic yards of material. Curing piles are turned
with the on -site loader.
21. Describe compost testing and the method for collecting samples, in
accordance with Rule .1407(b).
a. The pathogens sample should be collected as a composite sample
from finished compost onsite on the same day it is to be taken to the
lab for analysis. The sample should be processed within the hold time
required by the lab testing procedure, and this is usually 24 hours.
Pathogen testing will be achieved by collecting grab samples at
various locations within finished compost pile, then mixed to
create a composite. The sample will be delivered to a NC Certified
Lab within the procedural holding time. Pathogen testing will be
conducted once every six months.
b. The sample that is collected for metals analysis is to be collected
and composited over a six-month period (or every 20,000 tons produced)
from each batch of compost. See Rule .1407(b)(4) for procedure.
Metals testing will be achieved by collecting equal volume sample
from each batch processed and placed into clean plastic container
of sufficient size, mixed with previous samples collected since
last test. A representative sample will be taken from the barrel
and tested by NCDA at least once every six months, or each 20,000
tons of compost produced.
151Page

22. Describe distribution and ultimate use of the finished compost. If
agriculture nutrient claims are to be made for the compost, for
fertilizer or soil additive, the owner is required to meet the
requirements of the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services,
Plant Industry Division.
The compost produced by the Facility will ideally be sold as a
soil amendment, in bulk, to local greenhouses and landscape
contractors for use as a soil amendment or to the NCDOT for use in
highway landscape projects.
As the market dictates, it may be necessary to conduct land
application of compost if excess compost begins to accumulate
within the storage area. In this case, the material must meet Class
A criteria, or an approval from the NCDWM must be obtained. Land
application to agricultural cropland may be used as long as
appropriate records are maintained. Compost application rates will
vary depending on the agronomic needs of the crop and whether the
compost is being used as a primary nutrient source. If the finished
compost is used as a primary nutrient source, it should be spread
following agronomic practices used for spreading manure. However,
compost is generally spread onto land at a thickness of 0.5 to 1
inch. If it is applied at a rate greater than this, it becomes too
difficult to incorporate into the soil. Conventional manure
spreaders are ideal for handling and spreading compost. Craven Ag
Solution's distribution and marketing detailed customer information
sheets should be followed by end users.
23. Describe method for removal from the site, and a contingency plan for
disposal or alternative usage of residues or finished compost that
cannot be used in the expected manner due to poor quality or change in
market conditions.
The facility has consistently produced compost that easily meets
the standards for Class A compost. But market conditions for the
compost products is something beyond the facility's control.
As mentioned in the previous section, land application of the
compost to agricultural or silvicultural tracts by the facility
would be conducted in the event of a market condition that resulted
in surplus volume of compost within the storage area.
In the event that a batch of compost does not meet the requirements
for Class A compost, several options exist. An initial option would
be to re -process the batch in an attempt to meet the Class A compost
requirements. This option would be selected if the controlling
factor indicating poor quality was failure to meet pathogen
reduction requirements.
161Page

Compost materials which do not meet Class A compost requirements
but meet the Class B or PSRP compost may be land applied under
specific circumstances in accordance with a separate permit.
Specifically, these materials could be applied to agricultural
land, provided the land is used for silvicultural or non-food chain
related production, or the material could be used for land
reclamation projects. Compost which does not meet either Class A
or Class B criteria, and is deemed undesirable for any attempt at
re -processing, will be disposed of in an appropriate approved, sub-
part D landfill site such as CRSWMA.
24. Describe recordkeeping and annual reporting in accordance with Rule
.1406 (1)(b), Rule .1406 (19)(c), and Rule .1408. Provide a copy of
the temperature log forms and other recordkeeping forms.
In accordance with .1406 (1) (b), a copy of the facility permit,
plans, and operations guide are maintained on -site for operator
reference.
In accordance with .1406 (19) (c), all required operator training
and certification documentation is stored at the facility office.
Additionally, a staff training log is maintained and stored in the
facility office as well. These documents are readily available upon
request.
The compost produced at the Craven Ag Service Compost Facility will
be routinely analyzed to ensure quality control is maintained.
Analysis shall be conducted by the North Carolina Department of
Agriculture (NCDA), Soil Test Laboratory on Blue Ridge Road in
Raleigh, or by a certified analytical laboratory. The compost will
be monitored for temperature daily to ensure vector and pathogen
reduction compliance (see record keeping forms in Appendix B). An
annual report will be submitted to the NC Solid Waste Section by
August 1st of each year, in compliance with NCAC 13B Section
.1408 (c). All current year records will be kept on site, and
archived records will be stored at the facility office for a minimum
of 5 years.
The facility recording forms can be found in Appendix B.
25. Describe operational activities for surface water and process water
control features (for example, drain covers, pipes, ponds, tanks). For
onsite tanks, frequency of pumping and removal.
The facility does not have surface water drainage conduits, or any
process water tanks other than the transport tanks used to deliver
the wet feedstocks to the mixing pad.
Surface water from stormwater runoff is directed into vegetated
treatment areas through site grading, swells, and berms. These
171Page

earthen structures are maintained by seeding, fertilization and
weed control. Routine inspection for water channeling and erosional
features occurs weekly at a minimum.
26. Provide documentation that the local fire protection agency has been
notified of the site use as a compost facility.
Refer to Appendix C
27. Plan for fire prevention and actions to be taken in the event of an
accidental fire. Describe equipment provided to control accidental
fires. It should be stated that any fire will be reported to the Solid
Waste Section within 24 hours, followed by a written notification of
the details of the fire within 15 days of the incident.
The composting area consists of (3) sources of possible combustion:
Dry feedstock material, Active windrows, and Curing piles.
The facility layout design of windrows having 9 feet between each
row provides easy access to maneuver the loader to any location
that may start to combust. The loader is used to isolate the hot
spot by removing adjacent compost. The hot spot is then spread out
and extinguished with water from any one of several company pump
trucks. Similarly, for the dry feedstock and curing piles, if the
pile begins to combust the loader will again be used to isolate the
hot spot, and the company pump truck will be used to extinguish the
material. DWM will be notified of any fire related occurrences.
28. Plan for maintaining facility property in a sanitary condition and
actions to be taken to minimize noise, vectors, litter, dust, and other
airborne particulates. It should be stated that at the end of each
operating day, the unloading area will be clear, and all feedstocks
will be processed/mixed or properly stored. Describe procedures to
prevent blowing litter and dust from leaving the compost area and from
leaving the property.
The site will always be maintained in a sanitary condition by
addressing vector and odor control as needed. Proper compost
mixtures and blending help prevent dust formation, vector
attraction, odor, and airborne particulate formation. Attention
to this detail prevents most of these problematic conditions from
occurring.
Noise associated with equipment operations will be controlled by
operating only during normal business hours if possible.
The concrete mixing pad is maintained in a sanitary condition by
cleaning these areas with a pressure washer as needed.
The active composting area is surrounded on 3 sides by forested
buffers. These natural forested areas are equal to if not superior
181Page

to litter fencing. The litter is collected daily as it is exposed
by processing the compost.
29. Contingency plans for wind, heavy rain, snow, freezing weather and
other extreme weather events, air pollution, equipment breakdown,
spills, unusual traffic patterns, long-term power outages, cracks in
concrete pads, etc.
During inclement weather, this site will not mix or blend incoming
feedstock materials. Compost windrow turning may continue if soil
conditions permit access to the area and the process can be done
safely without generating runoff or endangering the operator.
The facility has a well -managed equipment maintenance program and
during a breakdown, the repairs can usually be achieved quickly
enough not to impact the composting process. Just as with inclement
weather, the facility can suspend operations as necessary.
Spills can occur at the concrete mixing pad area. They are usually
very minor and quickly cleaned up with the loader bucket. In the
event of a large wet feedstock spill, company pump trucks would be
utilized to collect the material from the spill location.
Power outages would not affect the facility's ability to operate.
The on -site equipment is primarily diesel engine propelled.
30. Site safety procedures concerning onsite equipment (especially
grinders), safety during unloading and loading of materials, and
safety to address other possible site hazards to workers or the public.
Refer to Section 6.0 of the Operations Manual located in Appendix
D and Agricultural Machinery Hazards document located in Appendix
E.
31. Describe closure of the site when the site ceases operation, in
accordance with Rule .1410.
At some point in the future, the Craven Ag. Services Facility will
require formal closure when the owners elect to cease operating the
business. As required by 15A NCAC 13B .1410, the facility must meet
certain closure standards. This plan has been developed to provide a
narrative and steps of how the closure will proceed when that time
arrives. Craven Ag Services will proceed with a stepwise closure
approach as follows:
• Notify DEQ/DWM of the intent to close with a projected date.
• Notify all clients that they will no longer accept waste after a
to be determined date.
• Continue to operate the compost facility until all wet and dry
feedstocks on hand have been composted to acceptable levels for
land application or marketing.
191Page

• Land apply or market compost as it becomes available, eventually
exhausting all material within the facility.
• Any remaining compost feedstock material will be disposed of at an
appropriately permitted facility.
• Once the facility composting operation areas are clear, the site
will be converted into agricultural uses, with anticipated hay
grasses with a winter cover for crops.
• Follow up nutrient soil sampling will be conducted to monitor for
N-P-K balance with crop rotation needs.
• At least 2 stormwater and groundwater sample collection events, 6
months apart, after the compost removal, will occur prior to
requesting DEQ/DEMLR & DWM to rescind the respective Stormwater and
Compost Permits.
• Written notification will be submitted to DEQ/DWM that all closure
requirements in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .1410 have been met.
Section 5 - Odor Control Plan
This section should describe site specific conditions, designed to minimize
odors at the property boundary by means such as expanded buffers,
consideration of topography and wind patterns, or process layout design.
The plan should include the following:
1. Identification of all onsite potential odor sources on a map or diagram
(examples, unloading area, mixing area, active compost windrows, etc.).
2. Description of onsite weather conditions that may affect odor migration,
such as prevailing wind direction, topography, and seasonal variations.
3. Plan to monitor onsite odor and record odor data for the odor sources
with the potential to migrate offsite. Data shall include date, time,
site specific conditions, weather conditions, wind direction, and
characteristics and intensity of odor.
4. Description of the facility's odor complaint protocol, including forms
used, odor verification by operator both onsite and offsite, what the
response will be, and who will be contacted.
5. Description of complaint record keeping.
6. Description of odor control design and operating best management
practices to be used onsite, including:
a. Personnel training;
201Page

b. Feedstock characteristics;
C. The initial mixing of feedstocks to reach targeted carbon
to nitrogen (C:N) ratios and moisture levels;
d. Procedure for handling incoming odorous feedstocks, to
include prompt mixing of the waste with carbon material;
e. Maintenance of compost piles for moisture;
f. Aeration methods, frequency, and protocol;
g. Leachate and liquids management;
h. Weather monitoring and protocol;
i. Management of airborne emissions; and
j. Windrow covering, such as the application of 3 to 6 inches
of finished compost cover over piles.
An Odor Control document was developed specifically for the Craven Ag
Services facility that contains all relevant information requested
within this section of the permit application. Refer to Appendix F.
7. For indoor facilities, describe the design and operation of biofilters,
if applicable, and procedures for equipment breakdown.
Section 6 — Financial Assurance
Financial assurance is required for certain facilities, effective July 1,
2020.
It is not required for:
• Sites owned/operated by local governments,
• Sites owned/operated by federal or state entities,
• Small Type 3 facilities
It is required for Large Type 3 and all Type 4 facilities, which do not meet
the exemptions listed above. The application will need to include a cost
estimate for a third party to remove and dispose of the maximum amount of
waste to be stored onsite. The maximum amount for the calculation would be
the active compost volume, not curing or final product. Provide an itemized
cost, to include the maximum amount onsite, removal and transportation cost,
and disposal cost. Disposal would be a landfill or another compost site that
would be able to take the waste. A financial assurance mechanism will need
to be established. See Rules .1801 (a), .1802 (a)(1), .1805, and .1806 for
more information.
The cost estimate is shown in spreadsheet format located in Appendix
G.

Craven Ag Service Compost Facility - Operations Guide
1.0 Introduction
The Craven Ag Service Compost Facility is located in the northern part of Craven County, North
Carolina, near the intersection of River Road and Highway 4, approximately 5 miles southwest
of Vanceboro, NC. This facility currently operates in accordance with a demonstration permit,
and will be permitted by NCDENR-DWM as a Large Type 3 composting operation. The
purpose of this operations guide is to comply with Section 1406 of the DWM regulations. Key
personnel involved in the production of compost at this facility will acknowledge reading of this
manual (below) to assure a basic understanding of the policies and procedures contained herein.
NAME:
DATE:
NAME:
DATE
NAME:
DATE:
Site management personnel will receive training as provided by the U.S. Compost Council, NC
DWM, NCSU and the training activities shall be documented. The site owner is certified through
DWQ as a residuals Land Applicator and through DWM a Septage Land Applier.
The raw feedstock materials for the composting operation will come from permitted sources.
Please see Table 3-1 (Section G, Part 3 - Raw Materials, Proposed Feedstock Volumes and
Protocol For Compost) in the Application.
Materials composted must be permitted in the DWM permit. New feedstocks will be tested
(typically by NCDA) and approved by consultants to Craven Ag Service or DWM prior to
receipt.
The composting operation will be conducted in open windrows specifically designed for compost
production. Feedstock storage and final composting/curing will occur on compacted soil based
pads. The windrows are fed from a concrete mixing pad and fresh compost is discharged
following the PFRP and VAR compliance stage of the windrow process to a second portion of
the compacted soil pad. The Concrete mix/blend pad will be developed as soon as permitted. The
pad consists of a mix/blend area located in Area 1. The concrete pad consists of a reinforced
concrete pad as designed. The pad contains a sloping bottom mix/blend area and a flat
storage/receiving area as specified on the attached drawing. The mixed/blended materials will be
transported to the active compost production pads located as shown on the site plan for
composting. These areas will be slowly permeable pads.
Construction assurance for the concrete area will be documented by the design team and certified
by the project team to DWM. Should documentation be required for the current compacted soil
pads that will be provided by the team to DWM. The compacted pads help prevent introduction
of undesirable material such as stones into the compost. Liquid or leachate generated during the
compost feedstock mixing will be collected in a tanker, reused as a moisture source in compost,
or transported off site to an approved wastewater facility.

1.1 Composting Requirements and General Operations
Compost is defined by the U.S. Composting Council as "the product resulting from the
controlled biological decomposition of organic matter that has been sanitized through the
generation of heat and stabilized to the point that it is beneficial to plant growth." Composting is
accomplished by mixing an energy source (carbonaceous material) with a nutrient source
(nitrogen and phosphorus containing materials) in a prescribed manner to meet microbial
requirements necessary to support metabolic processes. Moisture levels, solids levels, and
nutrient levels in the compost feedstocks are controlled to assure the process reaches the required
temperatures for the time prescribed by rule (15 days above 131 degrees F with 5 turnings in that
15 day time). The process is carried out under specific moisture and temperature conditions for a
specified period of time. Critical steps and procedures are necessary to ensure that the
composting process proceeds properly with a minimum of odors, adverse environmental impacts,
and other process related problems. This O and M Manual is intended to enumerate many of
these steps and procedures.
The facility will be divided into four (4) distinct areas. A process flow diagram is provided in the
attachment to this report. These processes are accomplished in the areas as listed herein:
receiving area, active composting area, curing area, and storage area.
Receiving area (mix pad): Here raw materials are received, this does include the concrete mix
pad at the entrance to the process; here incoming materials are mixed and blended in preparation
for subsequent placement in the windrows and these materials are inspected visually to assure
only permitted products are present (unpermitted materials will be removed placed in a small 8
to 10 cubic yard dumpster and transported to a MSW landfill). Mixing, blending and measures
will be accomplished on a "by volume" basis. Weight measures may be accomplished at the
various sources, but compost operations will be based on volumetric assessments. Wood waste,
wood chip, and yard waste will be chipped prior to use as feedstock.
Active Composting (Windrow) area: here the mixed/blended materials from the mix pad are
placed into the long windrows for compost operations and where PFRP and VAR compliance
will take place;
Curing area: here composted materials stored or cured, screened and prepared for distribution;
and
Storage and final processing area: here finished, screened materials are stored prior to
distribution and marketing or transport off site. This is a compacted, exterior storage area where
finish compost is field stored and awaiting transport to various markets.
Materials permitted for receipt at the facility will be received in the receiving area. Solid and
Semi Dry materials from off -site sources (litter, shavings, etc) will be stored for short times to
prevent addition of moisture on the compacted pad or the concrete pad waiting blending with the
dewatered septage and FOG, if necessary, dry materials will be covered with a tarp to prevent
moisture accumulation. Dewatered Grease Trap and Septic Waste which has been processed

onto the concrete mixing pad for proper mixing with the dry bulking materials using the loader
bucket and the lift and drop mix method. The dewatered materials will be stored at the CAS
Dewatering site and will be transported to the compost area only for processing into compost;
NO FOGlseptage will be stored on the compost site. The dewatered material from the dewatering
site will be transported to the compost site in 20 cubic yard leak proof boxes as currently
accomplished for immediate mixing and blending — NO dewatered material storage is proposed.
All putrescible materials will be mixed and blended during a workday. Prior to daily closing,
mixedlblended material will be placed into a windrow. NO putrescible will be stored overnight
without blending as a compost feedstock.
A volume of wood shavings or litter equal to the volume of dewatered material will be placed on
the pad. The material volumes are determined by loader scoop volume (typically 2 cubic yards
per loader). The dewatered material and the dry bulking material will be mixed together for
approximately 10 to 20 minutes to assure complete mixing. This process is not intended to
generate excess liquid. Should liquid be generated during this initial mixing, it will be collected
by gravity Dow to the base of the pad and discharged to the dry bulking materials for subsequent
use or be collected in a tanker for subsequent use as liquid; any excess moisture can be
transported to Kinston for processing, but that is not anticipated. Materials will not be accepted
at the site during inclement weather since ingress and egress is difficult.
Prior to blending or transport into the compost windrows area, all materials will be examined to
assure proper moisture level (upon firm squeezing, material will release a thin film of water to
hand or a few drops of water). if material is too wet, additional bulking material will be added to
dry the mixture; if too dry, liquid from the tanker described above will be added to the mixture to
provide moisture. Dry materials will be mixed or blended at the proprietary mix or blend ratios
developed at Craven. Ag Service for various compost end uses and markets.
Materials will be formed into the windrows using the loader -Mixer buckets or by dump truck_
Feedstock materials will be transported to the windrows and placed carefully in windrows by
lifting and dropping materials to provide final mixing and blending, preliminary aeration, and
minimal compaction prior to windrow activities. Windrow dimensions shall be as shown in the
chart below. Material placed in this manner should heat adequately to assure PFRP compliance.
Temperatures will be monitored and recorded daily to demonstrate compliance with PFRP and
VAR requirements. Windrow areas are designated on the facility permit and all windrows will be
marked with date of formation and dates of turning.

The windrow compost process achieves the VAR and PFRP compliance. Demonstrated
compliance with VAR requires temperatures exceeding 104 degrees F for 14 days or longer, and
averaging 114 degrees F or higher for the 14 day period. This is the minimum temperature

required and this is intended as PFRP, not PSRP consequently the higher temperature/longer
time is required.
Compliance with PFRP requires maintaining temperatures above 131 degrees F for 15 days with
at least 5 turnings of the windrows. The intent of this activity is to expose all particles in the
windrow to the high PFRP temperatures. These PFRP temperatures have consistently been
exceeded in the VAR area of windrow operations and a PFRP windrow is a "de facto" VAR.
Material will be moved through the active compost production area (area 2) using a front -end -
loader bucket to lift and drop or windrow turner (as available) until material has achieved
required VAR and PFRP compliance and has been rotated in the windrow for a minimum of 60
days to cure unless a row crop operation has a need for the PFRP compliant product.
Temperatures will be monitored during active composting at specified locations located every 25
feet along each windrow and at depths of 24" and 36" into the windrow at each of these
locations. Temperature monitoring will be accomplished Monday through Saturday. Once
compliance with all PFRP and VAR requirements has been established through the
time/temperature monitoring, the compost shall be moved to area 3 for curing and screening.
Materials not meeting the required time/temperature standard will be transported to a permitted
MSW facility, applied to a permitted septage site, or returned to the head of a windrow for
reprocessing.
The curing/screening area is intended as the portion of the site where the compost matures and is
prepared for distribution. Compost in the curing area will be turned approximately once per
week. This process is important in developing stable compost suitable for a wide variety of end -
use applications. The stability and maturity of the compost will be assessed through the Solvita
test. Once a material has met standards for the Solvita test, curing is complete and the material is
mature compost suitable for any use. Compost material can be used any time following
compliance with the 15 day, 5 turning, temperature over 131 degrees F if a suitable receiver crop
is available. Typically this fresh compost is best suited to row crop applications.
Once ready for distribution, the compost will be transported by loader to a screening operation
collocated with storage in the storage area. The screen separates fine material from coarse
material. The fines are placed into the final stage of the operation while the larger materials are
recycled back through the compost operation by transport back to the initial mix pad area in
dump -truck or loader to feedstock storage/mix/blend area. Here these coarse materials are mixed
and blended with incoming material and returned to compost windrows as "seed". Undesirable
materials removed during screening will be collected on site in a small dumpster and transported
to a MSW landfill for disposal as required. These undesirable materials will be stored in a small
dumpster located near the screen until sufficient volume is available for MSW disposal.
6

A quality assurance/quality control program will be instituted at Craven Ag Service. This process
will help to assure:
A. Compliance with appropriate rules and regulations
B. Product quality consistent with specified or designated end use
C. Trained personnel remain available to manufacture quality compost
The QA/QC effort will involve the compliance testing and monitoring including: routine
temperature monitoring and recording, nutrient and regulated metals testing, foreign material
content and bacteriologic sampling. Nutrient sampling will be conducted by NCDA. The
compliance testing for regulated metals and bacteria will be conducted by a private certified
laboratory. Sampling will be conducted initially for every 10,000 tons of material produced or
four times (3 month intervals) per year to assure compliance with rule and adequate QA/QC is in
place. This is more rigid than current rule and is deemed necessary to demonstrate compliance.
Annual calibration will be required on temperature probes. An annual report submitted to DWM
is required as a part of the QA/QC program.
In the event that an additional raw material stream becomes available to be added to the
composting operation, the material will be submitted for review and approval by the DWM-
Solid Waste Section or to this consultant prior to use as a feedstock. The following procedure
will be utilized to submit raw materials for approval to the Solid Waste Section:
1. A sample of the raw material will be taken according to the protocol detailed in Section
5.2 of this manual.
2. The sample will be analyzed for the parameters listed in Table 2, Section 5.3 of this
manual.
3. A report of the analysis results and a written request for inclusion of the raw material,
including proposed handling instructions for the raw material, will be submitted to the
Solid Waste Section. The request will include: source, volume, and assurance that the
volume proposed will not facilitate permit violation.
4. Upon notification of approval of the raw material by the Solid Waste Section, the raw
material may be incorporated into the process used for compost production.
Incoming or raw material will be inspected visually prior to and during the initial mix/blend
operation by the facility operator to assure unwanted trash is not present, that no material
received is prohibited by permit, and that the material received is authorized under the
permit. This will occur as material is placed on the mix pad and as material is placed in the
mixer. As stated, undesirable materials will be transported to a MSW landfill or returned to
the generator where possible.
During periods of excessive rainfall, runoff will result. The vegetated buffers down gradient
of the site are intended to treat this runoff and allow infiltration. Vegetative buffers will be
covered in one inch of compost, lightly disked, and planted with fescue. A soil test will
determine the optimum nutrient requirements. The soil material present above the water -
table is well suited to runoff during the infiltration process. Groundwater monitoring wells

1.2 Moisture
Appropriate moisture is necessary to compliment the biological processes of the microorganisms
responsible for the degradation of organic matter and stabilization of compost. Composting is a
naturally occurring aerobic process. Consequently, the moisture content is influenced by the
necessity of supplying oxygen and venting off -gasses. As moisture increases, the particles in the
compost become denser and air spaces shrink, limiting the supply of oxygen and the ability to
off -gas. If oxygen supply drops to below 8%, the process becomes anaerobic and slows
dramatically. The results are foul odors, and the need to restore the aerobic conditions, which
will delay the processing time and reduce production rates.
Experience has shown that oxygen consumption in compost operations increase at moisture
levels above 40% and reaches a maximum at 60%. Based on the proposed ratio of materials, the
initial moisture content will be reduced from approximately 70% to the optimum initial moisture
level of 60 % by mixing the wetter feedstocks with dry materials. The initial moisture levels
encountered of near 70% will possibly slow the degradation process of the compost materials
until moisture reduces to approximately 60%. As a consequence, the wetter feedstocks will be
mixed with dry materials on a 50150 volume ratio to increase solids levels and reduce moisture
levels to a more optimum level prior to feeding the materials onto the compost nix pad. The
optimum moisture content for compost materials transported to the windrow is 60% to 65%. This
is the target for this operation and it will be met by the 50150 mix (by loader bucket volume)
using the front -end -loader to lift and drop, mix and blend feedstocks. All blending of feedstocks
will occur on the concrete pad located at the end of the initial receiving area and in the mix pit
collocated with the pad.
The composting process may also be inhibited when moisture levels fall below 40%. Moisture
levels will be maintained such that compost materials are thoroughly wetted without being
waterlogged or dripping excess water. As a rule of thumb, the compost materials are too wet if
water can be squeezed out of a handful and too dry if the handful does not feel moist to the touch
or if firm squeezing does not result in a film of water on the hand or gloved hand. A moisture
meter, similar to that described in the Equipment Specifications (Appendix 2), would provide a
more accurate determination of the initial moisture content of the compost material, but is not
considered necessary for operation of the facility_
No additional moisture is needed for the compost process, should excessively hot and dry
weather prevail and supplemental moisture is required, it will be supplied from a potable system
and the time temperature requirements will restart. The basic compost materials, with the
exception of the sawdust, litter, cotton wastes or gin trash and corncobs, are wet and therefore it
is unlikely that very much additional moisture will be needed. In all likelihood, the material will
normally compost "as -is" as achieved through blending with semi -solid and dry feedstock
nntenals.
Given that multiple windows are presently used, excess moisture can be managed by simply
allowing the initial heating cycle to :rise, or by Turning the windrows firequently to drive water
vapor off by venting excess moisture to the atmosphere. The higher the heat generated in the
process will also have the additional beneficial effect of killing off potentially pathogenic

organisms such as coliform or salmonella, helminthes eggs or cysts, or inactivating viruses and
other organisms regulated in waste treatment processes.
Particle size and structure are also important when determining the optimum moisture content.
Generally, the smaller the particles the more available the surface area for microorganism habitat
and the greater the microbial activity_ This is only the case if sufficient oxygen is available.
Insufficient oxygen presents the same problem described earlier with too much moisture. A
combination of excessive moisture and small particles is doubly detrimental. A typical target for
particles 15 mm (1/2 inch) in diameter or larger is to keep the compost mixture content at 55-
65% moisture. If the particles are 5-15 mm (less than % inch), a 45-55% moisture content is
recommended. If particles are too small and/or wet, bulking materials such as sawdust, ground
corn stover or ground wall -board can be added. This is also subject to variation depending on the
specific materials available for the compost
1.3 Temperature
Temperature should be monitored closely every 25 feet along the windrow length in all active
windrows and recorded daily. Metabolic or biological activity increases with increasing
temperature. The optimum temperature range for composting and pathogen reduction is between
131 ° F (54.4° Q and 160' F (71.1 ° C) once the process has begun. As stated in the North
Carolina Solid Waste Compost Rules section .1406, the facility shall maintain the compost
process at a temperature above 131' 1~ (55' Q for 15 consecutive days or longer, with 5 turnings
to ensure the highest level of pathogen reduction. if pile temperature falls significantly during
the composting period, odors may develop. if the pile material does not reach operating
temperature, investigate piles for moisture content, porosity, and thoroughness of mixing.
Compost managed at the required temperatures will favor destruction of pathogens.
Monitor temperature of the compost windrows daily — except Sunday. Appendix l provides a
Temperature Record form. The system operator should monitor temperatures at specified
monitoring locations along the windrow. Temperature monitoring locations are every 25 feet
along active windrows. The temperature monitoring probes consist of 36 inch to 48 inch long
dial stem thermometers. Temperature monitoring shall be accomplished at the 24 to 30 inch
depth at each monitoring location. The temperature probes must be calibrated annually to assure
they are reading temperatures accurately_
1.4 Mixing and Process Time
Mixing the compost with the loader bucket turner method is necessary to ensure that all particles
are exposed to the high temperatures required to inactivate potentially pathogenic
microorganisms. The mixing redistributes air pockets to insure proper oxygen levels for the
composting process. The mixing is accomplished by the rotation of the composting mass.
Mixing in the windrow with the lift and drop loader bucket turning method assures that all
particles in the compost mass are exposed to the required temperatures for the required tinge.
Pathogen reduction (PFF-P) is achieved in the active compost windrow. Should any batch of
material fail the PFPP requirement it will be reprocessed to achieve the 131 degree for 15 day
with 5 turning requirement, transported to an approved MSW facility or applied to a permitted
tJ

land receive site in accordance with septage/FOG land treatment rules. The operator recognizes
this will reduce the volume of septage and FOG which can be applied and the nutrient
management plan will be adjusted accordingly. Records indicate NO "off spec" material has
been produced during the CAS demonstration and the "recipe" for success is well established.
Mixing of raw materials with the loader is done to evenly distribute additives and bulk materials
throughout the composting material. Feedstock mixing and blending shall be done on the
Concrete pad proposed; the pad is shown on the drawing attached. Feedstock mixing and
blending prior to composting shall he done by mixing approximately 50% by volume active
materials such as the dewatered septage and grease trap wastes with approximately 50% by
volume wood chip/sawdust, 50% yard and leaf waste, etc. The pre -compost mixing shall be
accomplished by successive scooping, lifting and dropping of materials with a 5 to 8 cubic yard
front -end -loader bucket. At least three scoop/lift/fall cycles will be required to mix materials
adequately. Liquids will be placed in the mass of material by creating a 'Y' shaped trough in the
dry materials prior to adding the liquid materials.
The PFRP compliance temperature is achieved in the compost windrow area, and the curing
stage follows the active compost phase. The curing phase will require between 60 days and 270
days of storage in the windrow. Curing time depends on end use; agricultural use is typically a
60 day cure time while horticultural uses may require up to 270 days of curing. Materials
processed in the curing area will be tested using a Solvita test to assure adequate curing.
Materials may be bagged or moved to bulk outside storage at off -site locations following
finishing in the storage area. Disposition of compost following compliance depends on market
outlets. The finished product is normally dark brown to black in color with a 60%-65% solids
composition based on analysis. The odor is slightly earthy or musty and texture is loose. The
volume is roughly half of the original volume.
Composting time required is primarily a function of the amount of air supplied. The efficiency
can be increased and composting time decreased with added aeration by forced air or increasing
turning cycles. This also produces a cooling effect which must be monitored. Once the most
active of the composting processes is complete (as measured by PFRP Compliance), the compost
can be stockpiled without further temperature monitoring until used.
1.5 Carbon:Nitrogen Ratio (C:N)
The carbon to nitrogen ratio is the most important chemical consideration in compost. The C:N
ration desired is between 25:1_ and 40:1.Other nutrients are generally contained in sufficient
ratios for composting in most organic wastes. Carbon and nitrogen are consumed in the
decomposition process at a rate which is proportional to one another.
flee main goal is W produce compost whit h will not deprive soil of its natural aiU-ogen due I a
nitrogen deficiency in the Compost. A low carbon to nitrogen ratio during decomposition will
result in ammonia volatilization. A high carbon to nitrogen ratio reduces the efficiency of the
process, because more microbial activity 1s required to reduce the C:N ratio. The optimum C :N
ratio for finished compost is between 25:1 and 40:1 (carbon to nitrogen). The NCDA tests (waste
U

analysis) will be used to assess C:N ratios. To assure levels are appropriate, C:N ratios will be
assessed through routine sampling and when new feedstocks are added to the system.
1.6 Compost Recipes
Ongoing analysis has produced several compost recipes with potential for use at the composting
facility. These recipes assume a "Plug Flow" batch of compost. The process time for the
compost batch is normally 30 days in a windrow to comply with VAR and PFRP requirements
and another 60 to 270 days in the Curing Pile prior to being screened and ready for market. Once
cured and compliant with a Solvita test, the process can be considered a finish product and is
suitable for distribution and beneficial use. The finish product may be moved off site and stocked
for ultimate use. Typical chemical and moisture characteristics of common raw materials used in
composting operations are shown in the following table.

2.0 Operations
The Craven Ag Service Compost Facility will be operated daily, from 7-00 am until 7:00 pm
Monday through Friday and 7:00 am through 3:00 PM on Saturday. Additional hours of
operation may occur during periods of high demand for the finished compost material; however,
no Sunday operations are planned and these will be accomplished on a strict as needed basis.

Operations will proceed according to the requirements and procedures detailed in this operations
manual.
2.1 Personnel Duties and Requirements
1. Compost Facility Operator - This individual is responsible for overall operation of the
Compost facility. He is responsible for loading the proper amount of the selected raw
material into the mixer to insure a good quality finished compost. In addition, the
facility operator is responsible for maintaining all the temperature monitoring logs
and collecting samples of the finished compost for analysis.
2. Assistant Facility Operator(s) - This individual will assist the facility operator, as
necessary, and additionally will be responsible for upkeep and clean up around the
compost facility. This individual will perform routine preventative maintenance on
the composting equipment. This position will be filled as required, and may require
more than one person.
3. Maintenance crew - These personnel will be provided from the on -site Craven Ag
Service staff available to Craven Ag Environmental or from other operations as
maintenance staff required to perform major maintenance or repairs on the equipment
required for the composting activities.
4. Equipment crew - These personnel will be responsible for screening and custom
blending the finished compost material, and for loading trucks for delivery.
S. Transport - These personnel will operate over -the -road transfer trucks. The compost
will either be trucked to the final destination by over -the -road trucks, or may be
removed by vendor trucks as well, depending on size of the order. It is anticipated
that direct sale of bulk material to local contractors would be accommodated by direct
loading of the buyer vehicles (private trucks or trailers).
2.2 Compost Testing Needs
In addition to the routine testing of the compost material every 10,000 tons or every 3 months for
the parameters specified in Section 5 of this manual, and the b daylwk monitoring of the
composting process for temperature, it may be advantageous to test compost material for carbon,
nitrogen, moisture, and pH should compost fail to reach desired temperature or if odor problems
develop. The f nished compost material will be monitored every 3 months or 10,000 tons of
compost processed (the smaller of the two) for nutrients and regulated metals tested by the North
Carolina Department of Agriculture. More frequent testing will be accomplished as additional
feedstock is added or as process optimization begins, to ensure that the composting process has
been successful and that the NC Solid Waste Section annual reporting requirements have been
met. Testing may be accomplished on a more frequent basis than required by rule as varying
feedstocks are added to the compost and as end users require test product quality informati011,
New feedstocks will be tested by NCDA Waste Analysis prior to incorporation.
N

2.3 Storage
Storage of finished compost should be limited to 4 to 6 months after completion of the process
depending on market needs. Compost should be utilized within this time period if at all possible.
Storage will be provided in either open areas of the on -site storage area in the area designated,
immediately south of the processing area, on land out of the flood -plain or at off site locations
awaiting disposition and use,
2.4 Maintenance Practices and Cleanliness
In order to optimize the composting process, proper maintenance of the facility and equipment is
recommended. Listed below are some maintenance practices that can be implemented to ensure
the productivity of the facility.
1 _ Do not allow any equipment that exceeds design load limits on or within twenty feet
of the concrete pad.
2_ Maintain all electrical and mechanical equipment in good operating condition by
following electrical codes and manufacturers' recommendations. Inspect and repair
grounding rods, switches, wiring, and all vehicles and equipment involved in the
process.
3. Fences, railing, roofing, and/or warning signs must be maintained to provide warning
and prevent unauthorized entry.
4. Repair any vehicular, vandalism or animal damage. Inspect and maintain runoff
control structures.
5. Keep the area around the composting facility mowed and free of tall weeds and brush.
6. Clean, shovel, or dry sweep compost production and bagging areas as required to
maintain pleasant work environment. Clean and dry any oil spills, wet material spills
immediately to sustain reasonably safe work environment.
The stormwater section from DWQ has determined no runoff is generated in design
rain events which may exit the site to surface water. In an emergency, liquid collected
from the site will be transferred to the City of Kinston, NC WWTP. Any liquid
addition to compost occurring following storm events will restart the PFRP Process at
the time liquid is added to windrows_
The following is a list of practices that will reduce the potential of odors being emitted from the
Compost Site. Where practical, some or all of these practices may be utilized. The odor
management practices include:

1. Avoid overly wet feedstocks and compost. The use of relatively coarse co -
composting materials that allow oxygen diffusion into the pile can help avoid odor
problems.
2_ Activities such as mixing and movement of odorous raw materials shall be scheduled
to minimize the impact of odors. Accomplish these activities only early in the work
day to take advantage of rising air currents. Avoid doing these activities on hot, still
days or holidays and weekends. Windy conditions or early morning hours are better
tunes to conduct such activities. Monitor the wind direction and postpone activities
that may release significant odors when the wind is blowing toward the most sensitive
neighbors.
3. Prevent puddles and standing water on the compost pad.
4. Minimize dust, which can transport odor by spraying a fine mist over roads and other
surfaces.
5. Ensure that proper aeration, pH, and temperature control is maintained during the
composting process.
6. Covering the upper third of the windrow with either 3 to 6 inches of finished
compost, 3 to 6 inches of a stable, carbon rich material such as wood chip, or
covering the area with a heavy (20 ml) plastic sheet or tarp.
2.5 Seasonal and Weather Management
Composting can continue year round, even during cold weather. Seasonal and weather
variations may require operational adjustments that compensate for the change in weather
conditions_ The insulation layer covering the windrows should sufficiently buffer the mass of
materials in the windrow against temperature variation, and changes in the operation should not
be required.
Cold weather can slow the composting process by increasing the heat transfer rate from the
composting operation into the atmosphere, but the insulation layer should mitigate this transfer.
The lower air temperatures reduce the microbial activity, especially near the surface. This, in
turn, decreases the amount of heat generated.
Warm weather enhances water loss due to evaporation from the windrows. Water or recovered
leachate should be added if materials become too dry (moisture content drops below 40%).
Again, the loss should not be excessive from the windrow, and controls can be implemented by
scliedUlIng tuiIII fig operatIotis or adding moisture as recluircd.
In event excess liquid accumulates on the site because of wet weather or other adverse
conditions, that excess liquid (runoff) will he treated by the vegetated buffers located along site
boundaries.

2.6 Contingency Plans
1. Equipment Breakdown
In the event of a breakdown of the compost equipment (mixer, loader, screens, etc.),
delivery of raw materials from the Craven Ag Service septage/FOG dewatering facility
will be suspended until the equipment is repaired or replaced and material passes all VAR
and PFRP requirements.
2 _ Fire
In the case of a fire. immediately notify the local fire department. If employee safety is
not compromised, the company pump truck may be utilized to extinguish the fire_
3. Freezing Conditions
Operation in freezing conditions requires inspection of system components to assure cold
weather will not produce safety hazards. Additional caution in operation of the loader is
necessary during conditions where ice may have formed on the site. Frozen raw
materials should not be added to the bulk mixer (Knight) due to the possibility of
damaging the mixer blades and auger.
4_ Extended Power Failure
Operations during an extended power failure may be accomplished by the use of a
portable generator for any system components requiring electricity. No critical process
equipment requires electricity and a power loss will not impact operation of the
equipment either on the site or proposed. Temperature monitoring of the composting
windrows during a power failure must be continued, and any compost which does not
meet the temperature criteria must be re -processed. Again, no critical equipment requires
electricity.
5, Windy Conditions
Windy conditions should have little effect on the composting operation since windrows
are located in open areas surrounded by trees. However, during excessively windy
conditions (over 25 MPH) special attention must be given while turning the windrows
and during the loading of raw materials (especially light materials such as sawdust)
which could tend to "blow off' the composting area. It is anticipated that the local
vegetation (tree line) will tend to block a great deal of the wind from the facility.
However, if windy conditions are demonstrated to Have a detrimental effect on the
continued processing of the compost, consideration will be given to planting additional
windbreaks.
6. Disposal or Re -Processing of Poor Quality Products
1;

The design team anticipates that the compost produced at this facility will easily meet the
standards for Class A compost. In the event that a batch of compost does not meet the
requirements for Class A compost, several options exist. An initial option would be to
re -process the batch in an attempt to meet the Class A compost requirements. This option
would be selected if the controlling factor indicating poor quality was pathogen
reduction.
Compost materials which do not meet Class A compost requirements but meet the Class
B or PSRP compost may be land applied under specific circumstances in accordance with
a separate permit. Specifically, these materials could be applied to agricultural land,
provided the land is used for silvicultural or non-food chain related production, or the
material could be used for land reclamation projects, Compost which does not meet either
Class A or Class B criteria, and is deemed undesirable for any attempt at re -processing,
will be disposed of in an appropriate approved, sub -part D landfill site such as
CRS WMA.
3.4 Equipment Specifications
The equipment required to operate the Craven Ag Service Composting Site can be characterized
as either processing or monitoring equipment.
3.1 Processing Equipment
The primary processing equipment currently utilized at the site for composting is a Loader to
serve as a Compost Windrow Turner, a mixer to assure feedstocks are properly mixed prior to
placement in the windrow and a screen to assure high quality end product is generated. The
windrow turning is achieved by lifting and cascading compost to allow reaeration. Equipment
may change with time, but basic functions associated with each will remain as critical to the
process. Equipment may be replaced with like equipment and new equipment will be reported to
NCDWM as it is obtained.
A rubber tired Loader and a dump truck will be used to transport the raw compost mix to the
windrows. Finished compost shall be transported by loader or dump truck to the curing area and
ultimately to the finish product storage area (Area 4) and segregated into batches in the storage
area. Final screening will be accomplished in a rotating screen as material is transported off site
or as finished/cured material is placed into storage. Large screened particles (over 1.5 inch
diameter) will be reused in the compost operation as bulking material. This coarse material will
be moved to the initial mix/blend area and reused to inoculate incoming material and facilitate
aeration in the process_
a

3.2 Monitoring Equipment
A probe -type dial stem thermometer (as manufactured by REOTEMP) with a 36" stainless steel
stem is currently used to measure the temperature of the compost in the windrows or compost
piles in the active compost production area (area 2). The thermometer has a temperature range
of 0-200 degrees Fahrenheit. CAS has several thermometers available on site. These will be
calibrated annually and replacement thermometers will be purchased as needed. Calibration of
all thermometers shall be accomplished annually.
An additional, optional device that can prove very useful in the production of compost is a
moisture meter. This device is more accurate than the "hand squeeze" method of moisture
determination. REOTEMP Instrument Corporation has developed a moisture meter which
determines moisture levels via a sensor that measures electrical conductivity of the raw
materials. The device is available in lengths of 36", 48", and 60". CAS has purchased this
process monitoring device and has been using it throughout the demonstration process.
Equipment specifications for the equipment discussed above can be found in Appendix 2.
4.0 Nutrient Management Plan
The majority of the compost produced by the Composting Facility will ideally be sold as a soil
amendment. Additional or excess compost will be sold in bulk to local greenhouses and
landscape contractors for use as a soil amendment or to the NCDOT for use in highway
landscape projects.
In the event of a long term market decline, it may be desirable to land apply some compost off -
site. In this case, the material must be a Class A product, or an approval from the NCDWM must
be obtained. Land application to agricultural cropland may be used as long as appropriate
records are maintained. Compost application rates will vary depending on the agronomic needs
of the crop and whether the compost is being used as a primary nutrient source. If the finished
compost is used as a primary nutrient source, it should be spread following agronomic practices
used for spreading manure. However, compost is generally spread onto land at a thickness of 0.5
to 1 inch. If it is applied at a rate greater than this, it becomes too difficult to incorporate into the
soil. Conventional manure spreaders are ideal for handling and spreading compost. The
distribution and marketing guide described as CAS Compost Quality and Use should be followed
by end users.
The compost produced at the Craven Ag Service Compost Facility will be routinely analyzed to
insure quality control is maintained. Analysis shall be conducted by the North Carolina
Department of Agriculture (NCDA), Soil Test Laboratory on Blue Ridge Road in Raleigh, or by
a certified analytical laboratory (A and L, Prism Laboratories, Southern Testing, etc.). The
compost will be monitored for temperature daily to insure vector and pathogen reduction
compliance (see record keeping forms in Appendix 1). An annual report will be submitted to the
17

NC Solid Waste Section by August I" of each year, in compliance with NCAC 13B Section
.1408 (c)_ All records will be kept on site,
5.I Daily Record Keeping
The compost facility will maintain daily (except Sunday) temperature, compost processing
length and daily volume of compost processed records for the composting operation. In addition,
the volumes of the various feedstocks will be recorded to ascertain the optimum mix and blend
ratios for the continued operation at this facility. Each day's production will be flagged as it is
transported from the mix/blend area to the windrow. Each section of windrow will be identified
with the day of mixing and placement and these areas will be tracked through the entire process.
Each area within the windrows will be monitored for temperature and turn date to assure the 15
day/ 131 degree/5 turning requirements are met. In addition, once a windrow is completed,
similar records will be developed until the time requirement is met for the entire windrow. The
existing recordkeeping program has indicated the PFRP compliance is addressed by the ongoing
program.
5.2 Routine Compost Sampling Procedure
The compost must be sampled at intervals of once per every 20,000 tons of compost produced or
every six (6) months, whichever comes first; for purposes of this project more frequent testing
shall be accomplished (every 10,000 T) and every quarter. Composite samples are to be
collected through the sample period and composited for final testing_ A minimum of three 100
MI composites will be through the period, refrigerated and composited for nutrient and metal
analysis. Bacteria samples will be collected in accord with test laboratory procedures. The
sample tested is to be a representative sample of the compost produced during the compost cycle.
The samples will be obtained in a sterile manner according to the following procedure. The
sample will be obtained from the batch of finished compost from piles, immediately prior to the
screening and bagging equipment_ The sample will consist of multiple position composite grab
sample. A minimum of 5 discrete locations within the finished compost pile in Area 3,
immediately prior to the screening /bagging and bulk loading processing of the pile, will be
sampled as a composite sample.
These sample locations will be taken from within the finished pile; and will represent a "cross
section" of the pile, not just the "surface". The sampling will be conducted wearing latex or
nitrite gloves, and the composite samples will be well mixed to insure a representative sample is
tested. Samples will be refrigerated 'immediately or placed in sealed containers in a cooler for
transport to the laboratory. Collected composite samples will be placed in sterile bags provided
by the laboratory when pathogen samples are to be run on the material. Samples shall be
delivered to the laboratory within 24 hours if pathogen testing is to be performed. It is essential
to coordinate with the laboratory ahead of sampling to insure that the proper "hold times" for the
various parameters to be tested are not exceeded. It may be desirable to run intermediate nutrient
and heavy metal content samples at a more frequent interval than the once every 20,000 tons as
specified by regulation and CAS has agreed to accomplish testing at a more frequent basis.
i r:

5.3 Routine Compost Analysis
The analysis must include the parameters listed in Table 2. Metal testing must comply with
measurements less than the regulatory limits in 40 CFR part 503, Table 3 based on dry weight
(mg/kg). Testing shall be conducted by private certified laboratories for regulated metals and
bacteria. NCDA testing is adequate for nutrients, metals as process (non-compliance) values and
foreign matter can be tested by trained personnel.
Foreign matter testing will be determined as follows. The compost material will be dried (EPA
Method 160.3), weighed and passed through a one quarter inch (1/4") screen. All materials
remaining on the screen will be visually inspected and all foreign material (glass, plastic, metal,
etc.) will be removed and weighed. The weight of the removed foreign material, divided by the
weight of the total dried sample, multiplied by 100% will be recorded and reported as the
percentage foreign material observed in the sample.

5.4 Annual Report
Craven Ag Service will submit an annual report to the NC Solid Waste Section by August I" of
each year, in compliance with NCAC 13B Section .1408 (c). The annual report will contain the
facility name, address, permit number, a summary of the total quantities of raw material received
at the facility, the total quantity of compost produced by the facility, and the total quantity of
compost removed from the facility (marketed or disposed of off -site). The annual report will
also include temperature monitoring records and the results of the required analysis for metals,
pathogen reduction analysis (fecal coliform), and for the percentage of foreign matter in the
finished compost.
6.0 Safety & Health
Proper attention to health and safety at composting facilities can prevent most occupational risks.
The safety concerns in composting relate primarily to the use of equipment. If front-end loaders
or other standard farm equipment is used, eye and ear protection should be used. Normal safety
precautions, such as those provided with the equipment, should be followed. The Farm Safety
Association has developed a fact sheet (No. F-0 17 - Agricultural Machinery Hazards - See
Appendix 3) which should be reviewed by all personnel operating or working near machinery.
Fires are rarely a problem in outdoor composting, as properly moist composting material does
not readily burn. However, if material does dry out and if storage piles are too large,
spontaneous combustion becomes a possibility. This phenomenon occurs at moisture contents
approximately between 25% and 45%. In piles over 12 feet high, it is possible for the internal
heat of the compost to initiate chemical reactions, which then lead to spontaneous combustion,
Proper attention to moisture, temperature, and pile size is the best protection against this
problem. An accessible water supply is a valuable safety precaution.
Human health concerns relating to compost depend both on the individual and on the material
being composted. While few pathogenic organisms found in farrn animal manures or vegetative
wastes affect humans, normal sanitary measures are important (such as washing hands before
touching food, eyes, etc.). Some individuals may be hyper -sensitive to some of the organisms in
compost. The high population of many of the species of mold and fungi in an active compost
process can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Simple precautions, such as
wearing dust masks or even half -mask respirators with disposable cartridges, can help limit
human exposure to organisms that may cause allergic reactions. Conditions which may
predispose individuals to an infection or allergic response include allergies, asthma, such
medication conditions such as antibiotics, punctured eardrum, weakened immune system,
adrenal cortical hormones, etc, Workers with any of these conditions should not be assigned to a
composting operation. If a worker does develop an allergic reaction to compost, it is important
to recotrni7e the problem promptly so that it noes not develop into a chronic condition. To
prevent health concerns during particularly dry and dusty conditions, a dust mask or half mask
respirators should be warn_
Blood borne pathogen testing should be accomplished on employees of the compost operationi as
a part of the annual physical.
?Q

With proper knowledge, equipment, caution, and precautions, these sources of harm can be
removed or limited, and injuries, illnesses, and deaths can be prevented.

AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY HAZARDS
141W
FA RM The very tact that agricultural machinery uses tremendous power to do work
SAFETYmakes its operation a potential hazard for both the operator and bystanders.
ASSOCIAMN Even though manufacturers try to ensure that their machinery is as safe as
possible, the nature of some work creates inherent hazards, which cannot be
removed_ Most accidents with agricultural machinery can be attributed to
human error.
In many cases the operator forgot something, took a shortcut or a risk, ignored a warning,
wasn't paying close attention or failed to follow safety rules. Accidents with farm machinery
can be crippling or even fatal. It is important to recognize and be alert to possible hazards and
to take precautions to avoid injury.
There are many different kinds of agricultural machinery —mowers, tractors, shredders.
harvesters, grinders, blowers, augers, balers. etc. --but they all have similar characteristics
and similar hazards. You can be cut, crushed, pulled in or struck by an object thrown by
these machines.
They can have cutting edges, gears, and chains, revolving shafts, rotating blades, levers
and similar hazards. You can also be injured if _you fail while working on or near any of
these machines.
Some machine parts cannot be completely shielded in order to do their job. For instance, a
cutting blade cannot be totally enclosed, or it could not cut. Operators remove guards for
maintenance and often they don't get replaced. This creates a potentially dangerous situation.
Most agricultural machines have similar or common components to do their work. A basic
understanding of these and the hazards they pose will heighten your safety awareness and
prevent injury.
SHEAR POINTS
Shear points are created when the edges of two objects are moved closely enough together to
cut a soft material, as in the case of a pair of shears or an auger.
Cutting points are created when a single object moves forcefully or rapidly enough to cut. as in
the case of a sickle blade.
Both smear and cutting points are created on machinery designed to cut, as in harvesters, and
on those that are not r1psigned to cut. as in an auger. They are hazards because of their
cutting force, and because they often move so rapidly that they may not be visible. It can be
easy to forget that they are operating.
Because some cutting and shearing points cannot be guarded, it is important to be aware of
the hazard and to be especially alert when they are operating. It is also important to warn
others and to look out for their safety, because of the danger of thrown objects while using
cutting -type equipment_

PINCH POINTS
Pinch points are formed when two rotating objects move together and at least one of them
moves in a circle. For example, the point at which a belt runs onto a pulley is a pinch point.
Belt drives, chain drives and gear drives are other sources of pinch points in power
transmission devices. Feed rolls, gathering chains and similar equipment to draw crops into
the machine also create pinch points.
Fingers, hands and feet can be caught directly in pinch points, or they may be drawn into the
pinch points by loose clothing that becomes entangled. Contact may be made by just brushing
against rinshiplded parts or by falling against them.
You can become entangled in pinch points if you take chances and reach over or work
near rotating parts. Machines move too fast to get out of a pinch point once you become
caught in it.
To avoid injury from pinch points, be aware of the areas where pinch points occur and avoid
them. Wear clothing that fits well and is not loose or floppy. Never reach over or work near
rotating parts. Turn off machinery to work on it. Always replace shields if you must remove
them for maintenance.
WRAP POINTS
Rotating shafts are the most common source of wrap point accidents, although any exposed
machine part that rotates can be a wrap point. A cuff, sleeve, pant leg or just a thread can
catch on a rotating part and result in serious injury. Entanglement with a wrap point can pull
you into the machine, or clothing may become so tightly wrapped that you are crushed or
suffocated. In other cases, you could be thrown off balance and fall into other machine parts.
Even a perfectly round shaft can be a hazard if there is enough pressure to hold clothing
against the shaft. Shafts that are not round increase the hazard significantly. Clothing is more
likely to catch if there is a little mud or dried manure, or a nick on the shaft. Ends of shafts that
protrude beyond bearings are also dangerous. Universal joints, keys and fastening devices
can also snag clothing.
Check all equipment for potential wrap points, and shield those that can be shielded. Place
warnings on those that cannot be covered, or paint therm a bright color, perhaps with wide
stripes_ Be aware of wrap points and be alert to their danger.
CRUSH POINTS
Crush points are creatPrl when two objects move toward each other or one abject moves
toward a stationary one. For example, hitching tractors to implements may create a potential
crush point.
Failure to block up equipment safely can result in a fatal crushing injury. A jack may slip, a
hose or overhead support may break. or the equipment may roil. Be sure to take extra
precautions when working with machinery that is raised for any reason.

Crushing injuries most commonly occur to fingers that are crushed at the hitching point. Wait
until the tractor has stopped before stepping into the hitching position.
If possible arrange the hitch point so that the tractor can be backed into position without
anyone between. Always know what the other person is doing.
The head or chest of an operator may be crushed between the equipment and a low beam or
other part of a building. Usually, these accidents occur when operating the machine in reverse
Tree limbs are also potential hazards when working with tractors and other machinery.
To prevent being crushed or pinned, first. recognize the potentially dangerous situations, then,
avoid them whenever possible.
Block all machinery securely if you must work under it. If an implement can roll freely, block its
wheels so it cannot roll.
FREE -WHEELING PARTS
Many machine parts continue to spin after the power is shut off. Examples of this are cutter
heads of forage harvesters, hammer mills of feed grinders, rotary mower blades, fans.
flywheels, etc.
Never touch these parts until they have stopped moving completely. This may take as long as
several minutes.
SPRINGS
Springs are commonly used to help lift equipment such as shock absorbers, and to keep belts
tight and may harbour potentially dangerous stored energy. Springs under compression will
expand with great force when released, and springs that are stretched will contract rapidly
when released.
Know what direction a spring will move and how it might affect other machine parts when
released, and stay out of its path.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS
Hydraulic systems store considerable energy. They lift implements, such as plows, change the
position of implement components, such as a combine header or bulldozer Macke, operate
hydraulic motors and assist in steering and braking.
Careless servicing, adjustment or replacement of parts can result in serious injury. High-
pressure blasts of hydraulic oil can injure eyes or other body parts by burning or penetrating
the tissue due to the liquid being hot. Leaks are a serious hazard.
Never inspect hydraulic hoses with your hands because a fine jet of hydraulic fluid can pierce
the shin. Jet streams from even pinhole leaks can penetrate flesh. Get medical attention
quickly, or you could lose that part of the body that was injected.

Use a piece of cardboard to test the hose for leaks. Before attempting any service on hydraulic
systems, shut off the engine, which powers the hydraulic pump.
Lower the implement to the ground and relieve the pressure. Follow the instructions in your
operator's manual, because the specific procedures for servicing the systems are very
important to your safety.
PULL -IN POINTS
Puii-in points usually occur when someone tries to remove plant material or other obstacles
that have become stuck in feed rolls or other machinery parts. Always shut off the power
before attempting to clear plugged equipment.

Odor Control Plan
Craven Ag Services, Inc.
5391 River Road, Vanceboro NC 28586
1. Map identifying all onsite potential odor sources: (See Figure 1)
2. Onsite weather conditions that may affect odor: Several characteristics of the of the site
were evaluated, such as prevailing wind direction, topography, and seasonal variations.
To identify the prevailing wind direction, weather data generated at the Craven County
Regional Airport was selected to closely represent site conditions. A Windrose diagram is
included to display the result of the past 20 years of data collection for the wind metric. As can
be seen, wind can come from any direction, but the average direction is from the west. If odor
sources were present during average conditions, the odor would migrate toward the East. This
area is lightly populated with the closest occupied structure 565 feet down wind. River Road is
nearly parallel to average wind direction and around 375 feet from the Curing/Storage Area,
the closest potential odor source. Seasonal variations in wind direction do occur. According to
the State Climate Office, prevailing wind direction is from the southwest quadrant for 30% of
the time, northeast quadrant 23% of the time, northwest quadrant 16% of the time, and the
southeast quadrant 10% of the time. Wind directions from the south and west have the highest
potential to carry odor, if present, into a residential area along the north and east borders of
the site primarily along River Road.

Topographically, the site exhibits the most prominent relief in the southern direction from the
facility. As it relates to odor, topographic low areas commonly experience thermal inversions
where dense cool air settles into lower elevations during the night. This condition can cause
odors to concentrate in these denser air masses. If odors were present, the low elevation areas
adjacent and south of the facility, (Neuse River corridor) contains no residential structures.
3. Monitoring Odor: Odor monitoring occurs on a continual basis at this facility. Someone is at
the facility for several hours everyday the facility is open for business to receive feedstock for
the operation. The receiving area can easily be monitored for unusual odors on a frequent
enough basis to take necessary preemptive corrective action to control this source area.
Likewise, the compost windrow areas are monitored frequently as well. Once every 3 days the
active windrows are required to be aerated by a turner and it's temperature is checked daily
during the initial 15-day period as the compost begins to mature. If any individual windrow
within the composting area begins to go anaerobic, causing abnormal odor, corrective action is
taken to bring the compost zone back into balance. Monitoring for these conditions is critical in
preventing odor.
4. Odor complaint protocol and record retention procedures:
Properly controlled composting does not create objectional odors. However, if Craven Ag
Service receives a complaint, described below are the process steps for response.
An odor complaint is received by the facility from someone that has experienced what they
perceive to be an objectional odor. Any written or verbal method of communicating the
complaint is acceptable. The person filing the complaint should provide the date, time, their
location when they experienced the odor and a description of the odor (what the odor smelled
like and strength on a 1-10 scale).
Step 1: Odor Detail section of the facility Complaint Form is completed by Craven Ag staff or
complainant.
Step 2: A member of Craven Ag Services staff promptly visits the complaint location if odor is
currently occurring. If the complaint relates to a previous date and the odor is no longer
evident, staff will check potential odor sources for any observable problems.
Step 3: Upon arrival at the complaint location or during on -site potential odor source
inspection, a staff member completes the response section of the Complaint Form.
Step 4: If staff determines complaint is verifiable, corrective action will be conducted as soon as
possible. The details of the corrective action taken will be recorded on the Complaint Form.
Upon completion, the Complaint Form will be filed at the Craven Ag Services Business Office.
Step 5: If the complaint is not verifiable, the Form is so noted and is filed at the Craven Ag
Services Business Office.

5. Odor control design and operating best management practices to be used onsite:
a. Personnel Training
• Billy (ORC), John (Assistant Operator), and Mac (Assistant Operator) Dunham are the
primary facility operators. They each meet current training and qualifications
requirements to operate this site in a safe and productive manner and share in
conducting and directing operational responsibilities. The facility has 1 other
employee on -site generally from 7AM to 1PM to receive feedstocks and construct and
maintain windrows.
• Daily duties include receiving dry feedstocks, receiving dewatered solids, mixing, and
constructing compost windrows, turning compost, monitoring moisture and
temperature of compost, road maintenance, equipment maintenance, and general
cleaning of the site.
All personnel involved with composting attend annual formal training through the
Compost Council. The Dunham's personally and continually train any new employee
on the composting process and their job responsibilities. The employee is provided
with the operations manual for a reference resource. New employees will be
encouraged to obtain certification as a NC Compost Operator.
b. Feedstock characteristics
Craven Ag Services accepts these items as feedstocks for the purpose of turning waste into a
usable compost product material.
Raw Material Feedstocks/Bulking Material
Wet Feedstocks
• Dewatered grease trap waste
• Dewatered septage
• Dewatered portable toilet waste

'Information taken from "On -Farm Composting Handbook." Facility goal is an initial 30:1 C:N
ratio with a +/- 70% moisture content. The material is mixed at a 1:1 ratio.
d. Procedure for handling incoming odorous feedstocks, to include prompt mixing of the
waste with carbon material
On day of arrival, putrescible materials will be mixed, blended, and prepared for composting,
then placed into the compost windrow on the same day to reduce nuisance conditions. If odor
is strong after blending, the materials will be covered with either 3 to 6 inches of finished
compost, 3 to 6 inches of a carbon rich material such as sawdust or a layer of plastic to prevent
escape of odor.

Maintaining appropriate moisture content is necessary to compliment the biological processes
of the microorganisms responsible for the degradation of organic matter and stabilization of
compost. Composting is a naturally occurring aerobic process. Excess moisture content within
the compost results in particles becoming denser, porosity reduction, limiting the supply of
oxygen and the ability to off -gas. If oxygen supply drops to below 8%, the process becomes
anaerobic and slows dramatically, and possibly resulting in foul odors.
Windrow turning is the primary activity responsible preventing the formation of odorous
conditions. Turning will be conducted at intervals dictated by oxygen levels within the active
compost windrows and curing piles.
e. Maintenance of compost piles for moisture
A water wagon is used in conjunction with the windrow compost turner. Water is added as
needed to maintain the proper moisture content. As the windrows are being turned water is
added at the same time.
f. Aeration methods, frequency, and protocol
The facility utilizes an Aeromaster PT-130 11 ft. Pull Type Compost Turner to mix the compost
windrows. Once the correct C:N Ratio and moisture content are reached, the compost is turned
every third day for 15 days and a temperature between 131 F and 16(IF is maintained. Once
the 15-day period is complete, the compost is removed and placed into curing piles. These
piles are turned once per week with the facility loader.
g. Leachate and liquids management
Wet feedstock from septage and FOG, are carefully mixed with dry feedstocks on a covered
concrete mixing pad. The mixture is moved from the pad area to the active windrow
management area. Only a minor amount of residue remains on the pad after the mixing
process. If any liquids do accumulate, the facility has several pump trucks available to collect
the material. The liquid is then combined with the next compost mixture or taken to the
Craven Ag Services Treatment Facility in New Bern.
Leachate in the form of stormwater can be generated during rainfall events. The stormwater is
directed to the vegetated treatment zones surrounding all operational areas.
h. Weather monitoring and protocol
The operational areas of the facility occupy elevated topographic positions of the property.
However wet weather can limit heavy vehicular traffic into the facility. If wet conditions impact
operations, the facility ceases accepting feedstocks and conducting mixing operations until dry

enough to resume. By doing so, there is limited potential for conditions to occur that will
cause odorous conditions.
L Management of airborne emissions
Airborne emissions are controlled by the application of water on the windrow as they are being
turned. This cuts down on fugitive dust becoming airborne and potentially migrating offsite. If
necessary, the problematic material can be removed and taken to the mixing pad for adjusting
the mixture ratios and beginning the PFRP process again as fresh compost to limit emissions.

This exclusive control monitors the level of the hopper by means of a sensor_ When the hopper is
empty, the control automatically stops the screening machine and the engines speed is reduced to
idling speed of approximately 700 rpm. When the hopper is filled again, the screen is automatically
restarted and the engine is accelerated to nominal speed. This leads to a considerable saving, when
for example the wheel loader has to load a truck during the screening process

Aeromaster PT Series Pull Type Compost Turners
The Competitive Edge...
The advanced drum design turns
materials outside in and inside out to
provide superior blending, aeration
and CO2 release. The variable 150-
270 RPM drum speed ensures
flexibility in blending new rows and
building crumb structure. With an
open hood the drum design naturally
forms a peaked windrow.
The unique water and inoculation system
assures even moisture to every particle as the
turner moves through fhe windrow.
Windrow size varies with turner
model. Aeromoster models process
from 1,000 to 2,300 cubic yards per
hour. The hydraulically adjustable
rear axle adjusts onAhe-go 6" up or
down for optimum drum height when
moving through the windrow. Contact
Midwest Bio-Systems or your
authorized dealer for assistance in
choosing the model that is the best fit
your operation.
Other Features:
• Heavy-duty construction —Tubular
steel frame means low maintenance
coupled with exceptional reliability-
ariveline safety-- Automatic clutch
PTO driveline protection.
• One-man operation — Aerate, blend,
water and inoculate all in one pass.
� 5L
The mechanical watering and
inoculation system with water manifold
and spray nozzles assures even
moisture to every particle as the turner
moves through the row. Turner water
system with cam -lock hose fitting is
ready for quick attachment to the
Aeromoster Water Tank and Trailer unit
of your choice. The convenience of
adding water as the row is turned
assures sufficient moisture for maximum
biological activity and material break-
down.
This process also reduces water
waste, minimizing runoff and pooling.
The system includes four sets of
nozzle inserts for maximum control
over the quantity of water applied.
The retractable drum assembly
hydraulically lifts out of the windrow
in seconds at any time. This unique
feature allows the operator to view
the windrow stratification and inspect
the profile of windrow. Should windrow
conditions or other priorities require on
early exit from the windrow, the vertical
lift feature makes it quick and easy. The
hydraulic ram safety valve provides
protection from hood movement and
safety latches lock the hood in vertical
position for transport.
The operator can adjust the drum
height, with the hydraulically controlled
trailer axle and the outrigger jack to
minimize the anaerobic layer at the
bottom of the windrow.
Tractor Requirements

GRADE
CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
THE CONTRACTOR MUST COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS HEREIN:
1. INSTALL EROSION CONTROL MEASURES AS REQUIRED, SUCH AS THE CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE, DIVERSION
BERMS, AND STRAW WADDLES.
2. CLEAR AND GRUB THE WOODED AREAS TO BE DEVELOPED. STOCKPILE TOPSOIL AND SUITABLE FILL MATERIAL
IN AREAS DESIGNATED AS STOCKPILES.
3. BEGIN EXCAVATION AND GRADING ACTIVITIES AFTER ALL REQUIRED EROSION CONTROL MEASURES HAVE BEEN
INSTALLED AND CONSTRUCTED. SALVAGE ANY TOPSOIL THAT MAY BE USED AFTER CONSTRUCTION.
4. SEED TEMPORARY AREAS THAT HAVE BEEN LEFT DORMANT FOR LONGER THAN 15 DAYS.
5. ALL EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL MEASURES SHALL BE INSPECTED WEEKLY AND AFTER EACH
HEAVY RUNOFF PRODUCING RAINFALL. NEEDED REPAIRS SHALL BE MADE IMMEDIATELY.
6. AFTER CONSTRUCTION REMOVE ALL TEMPORARY STRUCTURES AND ENSURE ALL SEEDING IS COMPLETED FOR
AREAS DISTURBED.
MAINTENANCE PLAN
1. ALL EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL MEASURES SHALL BE INSPECTED WEEKLY AND AFTER EACH
HEAVY STORMWATER-PRODUCING RAINFALL. ALL NEEDED REPAIRS SHALL BE MADE IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT
FURTHER DAMAGE AND EROSION. STRUCTURES THAT WILL BE MAINTAINED WILL INCLUDE:
CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE/EXIT: INSPECT CONSTRUCTION ROAD SURFACE REGULARLY, MAINTAIN IN A
CONDITION TO PREVENT SEDIMENT FROM LEAVING THE SITE, AND TOP -DRESS WHEN NEEDED. SEDIMENT
TRANSPORTED TO PUBLIC ROADS SHALL BE REMOVED DAILY.
STRAW WADDLE: CLEAN OUT SEDIMENT, STRAW, LIMBS, OR OTHER DEBRIS THAT COULD CLOG THE CHANNEL
WHEN NEEDED. ANTICIPATE SUBMERGENCE AND DEPOSITION ABOVE THE STRAW WADDLE AND EROSION FROM
HIGH FLOWS AROUND THE EDGES OF THE STRAW WADDLE. CORRECT ALL DAMAGE IMMEDIATELY. IF
SIGNIFICANT EROSION OCCURS BETWEEN STRAW WADDLES, ADDITIONAL MEASURES CAN BE TAKEN SUCH AS,
INSTALLING A PROTECTIVE RIPRAP LINER IN THAT PORTION OF THE CHANNEL.
REMOVE SEDIMENT ACCUMULATED BEHIND THE STRAW WADDLES AS NEEDED TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO
CHANNEL VEGETATION, ALLOW THE CHANNEL TO DRAIN THROUGH THE STRAW WADDLES, AND PREVENT LARGE
FLOWS FROM CARRYING SEDIMENT OVER THE STRAW WADDLE.
SEEDING, FERTILIZING, AND MULCHING: SEEDED AREAS SHALL BE INSPECTED FOR FAILURE AND NECESSARY
REPAIRS SHALL BE MADE WITHIN THE SAME SEASON, IF POSSIBLE.
2. THE ANGLE FOR GRADED SLOPES AND FILLS SHALL BE NO GREATER THAN THE ANGLE THAT CAN BE
RETAINED BY VEGETATIVE COVER OR OTHER ADEQUATE EROSION CONTROL DEVICES OR STRUCTURES. IN ANY
EVENT, SLOPES LEFT EXPOSED WILL, WITHIN 21 CALENDAR DAYS OF COMPLETION OF ANY PHASE OF
GRADING, BE PLANTED OR OTHERWISE PROVIDED WITH TEMPORARY GROUND COVER, DEVICES OR STRUCTURES
SUFFICIENT TO RESTRAIN EROSION. PERMANENT GROUND COVER SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR ALL DISTURBED
AREAS WITHIN 15 WORKING DAYS OR NO MORE THAN 90 CALENDAR DAYS.
TOTAL DISTURBED AREA: 7.85 AC.
