COMPOST QUALITY
ASSURANCE AND
MONITORING DATA
MCGILL COMPOSTING PROCESS DESCRIPTION
incoming sludge is evaluated with respect to all of those parameters that are known to influence the
kinetics of the process. Volatile solids, moisture content, void space and compaction tests are
routinely performed. Volatile solids are of particular significance in that they give an indication of the
inherent energy associated with a particular sludge. When necessary, volatile solids in the form of
putrescible fresh poultry waste are added to ensure protracted elevated temperatures. This
accomplishes two process goals: pathogen destruction and water removal. The latter is accomplished
through the use of forced ventilation. MES has established, through experience, that the volatile
solids test has to be interpreted in a manner which takes into consideration that the tests lack both
specificity and sensitivity.
The ignition of dry solids at 550F may be used as a rough measure of organic matters, but does not
differentiate between ready metabolized material and organic matter that has not decomposed
within the duration of the composting period. To overcome this shortcoming inherent in the volatile
solids test, MES performs bench sca�.g treatability test on all sludge it processes. Microbial
decomposition of organic matter in a specialty designed vessel allows for a direct bench scale
measurement of stabilization.
Since microbial decomposition of sludge generates metabolically derived heat at the expense of
substrate, it is possible to establish optimum degradation rates through enthalpy comparison tests.
Adjustments of physio/chemical parameters that are known to influence degradation rates are also
established during bench scale treatability tests.
The total mixture is placed on aerated floors, under roof. MES installed a new custom application
computer monitoring and control system to automatically monitor composting process temperature
and control the blower system, assuring that the temperatures of the composting residuals meets the
levels required for PFRP and Vector Attraction Reduction. Temperature data is collected daily.
Examples of the data are on the following pages.

INTERPRETATION:
Is Your Compost Stable? Page two of three
Respiration Rate
3.7 Low: Good for all uses mg CO2-C/g OM/day
The respiration rate is a measurement of the biodegradation rate of the organic matter in the sample (as received).
The respiration rate is determined by measuring the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture and
temperature conditions.
Biologically Available Carbon
4 Low: Good for all uses mg CO2-C/g OM/day
Biologically Available Carbon (BAC) is a measurement of the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture, temperature,
porosity, nutrients, pH and microbial conditions. If both the RR and the BAG test values are close to the same value, the pile is
optimized for composting. If both values are high the compost pile just needs more time. If both values are low the compost has
stabilized and should be moved to curing. BAC test values that are higher than RR indicate that the compost pile has stalled. This
could be due to anaerobic conditions, lack of available nitrogen due to excessive air converting ammonia to the unavailable nitrate
form, lack of nitrogen or other nutrients due to poor choice of feedstock, pH value out of range, or microbes rendered non -active -
Is Your Compost Mature?
AmmoniaN:NitrateN ratio
2.4 mature
Composting to stabilize carbon can occur at such a rapid rate that sometimes phytotoxins remain in
the compost and must be neutralized before using in high concentrations or in high-end uses. This
Ammonia N ppm step is called curing. Typically ammonia is in excess with the break -down of organic materials resulting
2600 immature in an increase in pH. This combination results in a loss of volatile ammonia (it smells). Once this toxic
Nitrate N ppm ammonia has been reduced and the pH drops, the microbes convert the ammonia to nitrates. A low
1100 mature ammonia + high nitrate score is indicative of a mature compost, however there are many exceptions.
PH value For example, a compost with a low pH (<7) will retain ammonia, while a compost with high lime content
7.18 mature can lose ammonia before the organic fraction becomes stable. Composts must first be stable before
curing indicators apply.
Cucumber Bioassay
100.0 Percent Cucumbers are chosen for this test because they are salt tolerant and very sensitive to ammonia
and organic acid toxicity. Therefore, we can germinate seeds in high concentrations of compost to
measure phytotoxic effects without soluble salts being the limiting factor. Values above 80% for both percent emergence and
vigor are indicative of a well -cured compost. Exceptions include very high salts that affect the cucumbers, excessive concentrations
of nitrates and other nutrients that will be in range when formulated to make a growing media. In addition to testing a 1:1 compost:
vermiculite blend, we also test a diluted 1:4 blend to indicate a more sensitive toxicity level.
Is Your Compost Safe Regarding Health?
Fecal Coliform
< 1000 / g dry wt. Fecal coliforms can survive in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions and is common in all initial
compost piles. Most human pathogens occur from fecal matter and all fecal matter is loaded in fecal coliforms. Therefore fecal
coliforms are used as an indicator to determine if the chosen method for pathogen reduction (heat for compost) has met the
requirements of sufficient temperature, time and mixing. If the fecal coliforms are reduced to below 1000 per gram dry wt. it is
assumed all others pathogens are eliminated. Potential problems are that fecal coliform can regrow during the curing phase or
during shipping. This is because the conditions are now more favorable for growth than during the composting process.
Salmonella Bacteria
Less than 3 3 / 4g dry wt. Salmonella is not only another indicator organism but also a toxic microbe. It has been used in the
case of biosolids industry to determine adequate pathogen reduction.
Metals
Pass The ten heavy metals listed in the EPA 503 regulations are chosen to determine if compost
can be applied to ag land and handled without toxic effects_ Most high concentrations of heavy metals are derived from
woodwaste feedstock such as chrome -arsenic treated or lead painted demolition wood. Biosolids are rarely a problem.
Does Your Compost Provide Nutrients or Organic Matter?
Nutrients (N+P205+K20)
5.4 High nutrient content
This value is the sum of the primary nutrients Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. Reported units are consistent with those
found on fertilizer formulations. A sum greater than 5 is indicative of a compost with high nutrient content, and best used to supply
nutrients to a receiving soil. A sum below 2 indicates low nutrient content, and is best -used to improve soil structure via the
addition of organic matter. Most compost falls between 2 and 5.

Group: Jan.15 A No_ 30 Sample I.d. No. 1/1 5010238
INTERPRETATION: Page three of three
Aglndex (Nutrients/Na+CI)
13 High nutrient ratio Composts with low Ag Index values have high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride
compared to nutrients. Repeated use of a compost with a low Aglndex (< 2) may result in sodium and/or chloride
acting as the limiting factor compared to nutrients, governing application rates. These composts may be used on well -draining
soils and/or with salt -tolerant plants. Additional nutrients form another source may be needed if the application rate is limited by
sodium or chloride. If the Aglndex is above 10, nutrients optimal for plant growth will be available without concern of sodium and/or
chloride toxicity. Composts with an Aglndex of above 10 are good for increasing nutrient levels for all soils. Most composts score
between 2 and 10. Concentrations of nutrients, sodium, and chloride in the receiving soil should be considered when determining
compost application rates. The Aglndex is a product of feedstock quality. Feedstock from dairy manure, marine waste, industrial
wastes, and halophytic plants are likely to produce a finished compost with a low Aglndex.
Plant Available Nitrogen (lbslton)
8 Average N Provider Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) is calculated by estimating the release rate of Nitrogen from
the organic fraction of the compost. This estimate is based on information gathered from the BAC test and measured ammonia and
nitrate values. Despite the PAN value of the compost, additional sources of Nitrogen may be needed during he growing season to off-
set the Nitrogen demand of the microbes present in the compost. With ample nutrients these microbes can further breakdown organic
matter in the compost and release bound Nitrogen. Nitrogen demand based on a high C/N ratio is not considered in the PAN calculation
because additional Nitrogen should always be supplemented to the receiving soil when composts with a high C/N ratio are applied.
CIN Ratio
11 Indicates maturity As a guiding principal, a C/N ratio below 14 indicates maturity and above 14 indicates
immaturity, however, there are many exceptions. Large woodchips (>6.3mm), bark, and redwood are slow to breakdown and
therefore can result in a relatively stable product while the CIN ratio value is high. Additionally, some composts with chicken manure
and/or green grass feedstocks can start with a CIN ratio below 15 and are very unstable. A C/N ratio below 10 supplies Nitrogen,
while a ratio above 20 can deplete Nitrogen from the soil. The rate at which Nitrogen will be released or used by the microbes is
indicated by the respiration rate (BAC)_ If the respiration rate is too high the transfer of Nitrogen will not be controlable.
Soluble Nutrients & Salts (ECS w/w dw - mmhoslcm)
11 High salts This value refers to all soluble ions including nutrients, sodium, chloride and some
soluble organic compounds. The concentration of salts will change due to the release of salts from the organic matter as it degrades,
volatilization of ammonia, decomposition of soluble organics, and conversion of molecular structure. High salts + high Aglndex is
indicative of a compost high in readily available nutrients. The application rate of these composts should be limited by the optimum
nutrient value based on soil analysis of the receiving soil. High Salts + low Aglndex is indicative of a compost low in nutrients with
high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride. Limit the application rate according to the toxicity level of thesodium and/or chloride.
Low salts indicates that the compost can be applied without risking salt toxicity, is likely a good source of organic matter, and that
nutrients will release slowly over time.
Lime Content (lbs. per ton)
230 High lime content Compost high in lime or carbonates are often those produced from chicken manure (layers)
ash materials, and lime products. These are excellent products to use on a receiving soil where lime has been recommended by
soil analysis to raise the pH. Composts with a high lime content should be closely considered for pH requirements when formulating
potting mixes.
Physical Properties
Percent Ash
59.7 Average ash content Ash is the non-organic fraction of a compost. Most composts contain approximately 50%
ash (dry weight basis). Compost can be high in ash content for many reasons including: excess mineriization(old compost),
contamination with soil base material during turning, poor quality feedstock, and soil or mineral products added. Finding the source
and reducing high ash content is often the fastest means to increasing nutrient quality of a compost.
Particle Size % > 6.3 MM (0.25")
5.6 May restrict use Large particles may restrict use for potting soils, golf course topdressings, seed -starter
mixes, and where a fine size distribution is required. Composts with large particles can still be used as excellent additions to field
soils, shrub mixes and mulches.
Particle Size Distribution
Each size fraction is measured by weight, volume and bulk density. These results are particularly relevent with decisions to screen
or not, and if screening, which size screen to use. The bulk density indicates if the fraction screened is made of light weight organic
material or heavy mineral material. Removing large mineral material can greatly improve compost quality by increasing nutrient and
concentrations.

INTERPRETATION:
Is Your Compost Stable? Page two of three
Respiration Rate
5.5 Moderate -selected use mg CO2-C1g OM/day
The respiration rate is a measurement of the biodegradation rate of the organic matter in the sample (as received).
The respiration rate is determined by measuring the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture and
temperature conditions_
Biologically Available Carbon
6 Moderate -selected use mg CO2-C/g OM/day
Biologically Available Carbon (BAC) is a measurement of the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture, temperature,
porosity, nutrients, pH and microbial conditions. If both the RR and the BAC test values are close to the same value, the pile is
optimized for composting. If both values are high the compost pile just needs more time. If both values are low the compost has
stabilized and should be moved to curing. BAC test values that are higher than RR indicate that the compost pile has stalled. This
could be due to anaerobic conditions, lack of available nitrogen due to excessive air converting ammonia to the unavailable nitrate
form, lack of nitrogen or other nutrients due to poor choice of feedstock, pH value out of range, or microbes rendered non-active.
Is Your Compost Mature?
AmmoniaN:NitrateN ratio
140 immature
Composting to stabilize carbon can occur at such a rapid rate that sometimes phytotoxins remain in
the compost and must be neutralized before using in high concentrations or in high-end uses. This
Ammonia N ppm step is called curing. Typically ammonia is in excess with the break -down of organic materials resulting
4800 immature in an increase in pH. This combination results in a loss of volatile ammonia (it smells). Once this toxic
Nitrate N ppm ammonia has been reduced and the pH drops, the microbes convert the ammonia to nitrates. A low
35 immature ammonia + high nitrate score is indicative of a mature compost, however there are many exceptions.
pH value For example, a compost with a low pH (<7) will retain ammonia, while a compost with high lime content
8.10 mature can lose ammonia before the organic fraction becomes stable. Composts must first be stable before
curing indicators apply.
Cucumber Bioassay
0.0 Percent Cucumbers are chosen for this test because they are salt tolerant and very sensitive to ammonia
and organic acid toxicity. Therefore, we can germinate seeds in high concentrations of compost to
measure phytotoxic effects without soluble salts being the limiting factor. Values above 80% for both percent emergence and
vigor are indicative of a well -cured compost. Exceptions include very high salts that affect the cucumbers, excessive concentrations
of nitrates and other nutrients that will be in range when formulated to make a growing media. In addition to testing a 1:1 compost:
vermiculite blend, we also test a diluted 1:4 blend to indicate a more sensitive toxicity level.
Is Your Compost Safe Regarding Health?
Fecal Coliform
< 1000 / g dry wt. Fecal coliforms can survive in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions and is common in all initial
compost piles. Most human pathogens occur from fecal matter and all fecal matter is loaded in fecal coliforms. Therefore fecal
coliforms are used as an indicator to determine if the chosen method for pathogen reduction (heat for compost) has met the
requirements of sufficient temperature, time and mixing. If the fecal coliforms are reduced to below 1000 per gram dry wt. it is
assumed all others pathogens are eliminated. Potential problems are that fecal coliform can regrow during the curing phase or
during shipping. This is because the conditions are now more favorable for growth than during the composting process.
Salmonella Bacteria
Less than 3 3 / 4g dry wt. Salmonella is not only another indicator organism but also a toxic microbe. It has been used in the
case of biosolids industry to determine adequate pathogen reduction.
Metals
Pass The ten heavy metals listed in the EPA 503 regulations are chosen to determine if compost
can be applied to ag land and handled without toxic effects. Most high concentrations of heavy metals are derived from
woodwaste feedstock such as chrome -arsenic treated or lead painted demolition wood. Biosolids are rarely a problem.
Does Your Compost Provide Nutrients or Organic Matter?
Nutrients (N+P205+K20)
5.7 High nutrient content
This value is the sum of the primary nutrients Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. Reported units are consistent with those
found on fertilizer formulations. A sum greater than 5 is indicative of a compost with high nutrient content, and best used to supply
nutrients to a receiving soil. A sum below 2 indicates low nutrient content, and is best -used to improve soil structure via the
addition of organic matter. Most compost falls between 2 and 5.

Group: Feb -15 A No. 24 Sample I.d. No. 1/1 5020231
INTERPRETATION: Page three of three
Aglndex (Nutrients/Na+CI)
13 High nutrient ratio Composts with low Aglndex values have high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride
compared to nutrients. Repeated use of a compost with a low Aglndex (< 2) may result in sodium and/or chloride
acting as the limiting factor compared to nutrients, governing application rates. These composts may be used on well -draining
soils and/or with salt -tolerant plants. Additional nutrients form another source may be needed if the application rate is limited by
sodium or chloride. If the Aglndex is above 10, nutrients optimal for plant growth will be available without concern of sodium and/or
chloride toxicity. Composts with an Aglndex of above 10 are good for increasing nutrient levels for all soils. Most composts score
between 2 and 10. Concentrations of nutrients, sodium, and chloride in the receiving soil should be considered when determining
compost application rates. The Aglndex is a product of feedstock quality. Feedstock from dairy manure, marine waste, industrial
wastes, and halophytic plants are likely to produce a finished compost with a low Aglndex.
Plant Available Nitrogen (lbs/ton)
14 Average N Provider Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) is calculated by estimating the release rate of Nitrogen from
the organic fraction of the compost. This estimate is based on information gathered from the BAC test and measured ammonia and
nitrate values. Despite the PAN value of the compost, additional sources of Nitrogen may be needed during he growing season to off-
set the Nitrogen demand of the microbes present in the compost. With ample nutrients these microbes can further breakdown organic
matter in the compost and release bound Nitrogen. Nitrogen demand based on a high C/N ratio is not considered in the PAN calculation
because additional Nitrogen should always be supplemented to the receiving soil when composts with a high C/N ratio are applied.
CIN Ratio
11 Indicates maturity As a guiding principal, a C/N ratio below 14 indicates maturity and above 14 indicates
immaturity, however, there are many exceptions. Large woodchips (>6.3mm), bark, and redwood are slow to breakdown and
therefore can result in a relatively stable product while the C/N ratio value is high_ Additionally, some composts with chicken manure
and/or green grass feedstocks can start with a C/N ratio below 15 and are very unstable. A CIN ratio below 10 supplies Nitrogen,
while a ratio above 20 can deplete Nitrogen from the soil. The rate at which Nitrogen will be released or used by the microbes is
indicated by the respiration rate (BAC). If the respiration rate is too high the transfer of Nitrogen will not be controlable.
Soluble Nutrients & Salts (ECS w/w dw - mmhos/cm)
13 High salts This value refers to all soluble ions including nutrients, sodium, chloride and some
soluble organic compounds. The concentration of salts will change due to the release of salts from the organic matter as it degrades,
volatilization of ammonia, decomposition of soluble organics, and conversion of molecular structure. High salts + high Aglndex is
indicative of a compost high in readily available nutrients. The application rate of these composts should be limited by the optimum
nutrient value based on soil analysis of the receiving soil. High Salts + low Aglndex is indicative of a compost low in nutrients with
high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride. Limit the application rate according to the toxicity level of thesodium and/or chloride.
Low salts indicates that the compost can be applied without risking salt toxicity, is likely a good source of organic matter, and that
nutrients will release slowly over time.
Lime Content (lbs. per ton)
140 High lime content Compost high in lime or carbonates are often those produced from chicken manure (layers)
ash materials, and lime products. These are excellent products to use on a receiving soil where lime has been recommended by
soil analysis to raise the pH. Composts with a high lime content should be closely considered for pH requirements when formulating
potting mixes.
Physical Properties
Percent Ash
47.4 Average ash content Ash is the non-organic fraction of a compost. Most composts contain approximately 50%
ash (dry weight basis). Compost can be high in ash content for many reasons including: excess minerilzation(old compost),
contamination with soil base material during turning, poor quality feedstock, and soil or mineral products added. Finding the source
and reducing high ash content is often the fastest means to increasing nutrient quality of a compost.
Particle Size % > 6.3 MM (0.25")
5.2 May restrict use Large particles may restrict use for potting soils, golf course topdressings, seed -starter
mixes, and where a fine size distribution is required. Composts with large particles can still be used as excellent additions to field
soils, shrub mixes and mulches.
Particle Size Distribution
Each size fraction is measured by weight, volume and bulk density. These results are particularly relevent with decisions to screen
or not, and if screening, which size screen to use. The bulk density indicates if the fraction screened is made of light weight organic
material or heavy mineral material_ Removing large mineral material can greatly improve compost quality by increasing nutrient and

INTERPRETATION:
Is Your Compost Stable? Page two of three
Respiration Rate
6.0 Moderate -selected use mg CO2-C/g OM/day
The respiration rate is a measurement of the biodegradation rate of the organic matter in the sample (as received).
The respiration rate is determined by measuring the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture and
temperature conditions.
Biologically Available Carbon
8 Moderate -selected use mg CO2-C/g OM/day
Biologically Available Carbon (BAC) is a measurement of the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture, temperature,
porosity, nutrients, pH and microbial conditions. If both the RR and the BAC test values are close to the same value, the pile is
optimized for composting. If both values are high the compost pile just needs more time. If both values are low the compost has
stabilized and should be moved to curing. BAC test values that are higher than RR indicate that the compost pile has stalled. This
could be due to anaerobic conditions, lack of available nitrogen due to excessive air converting ammonia to the unavailable nitrate
form, lack of nitrogen or other nutrients due to poor choice of feedstock, pH value out of range, or microbes rendered non-active.
Is Your Compost Mature?
AmmoniaN:NitrateN ratio
2700 immature
Composting to stabilize carbon can occur at such a rapid rate that sometimes phytotoxins remain in
the compost and must be neutralized before using in high concentrations or in high-end uses. This
Ammonia N ppm step is called curing. Typically ammonia is in excess with the break -down of organic materials resulting
6400 immature in an increase in pH. This combination results in a loss of volatile ammonia (it smells). Once this toxic
Nitrate N ppm ammonia has been reduced and the pH drops, the microbes convert the ammonia to nitrates. A low
2.4 immature ammonia + high nitrate score is indicative of a mature compost, however there are many exceptions.
pH value For example, a compost with a low pH (<7) will retain ammonia, while a compost with high lime content
7.46 mature can lose ammonia before the organic fraction becomes stable. Composts must first be stable before
curing indicators apply.
Cucumber Bioassay
0.0 Percent Cucumbers are chosen for this test because they are salt tolerant and very sensitive to ammonia
and organic acid toxicity. Therefore, we can germinate seeds in high concentrations of compost to
measure phytotoxic effects without soluble salts being the limiting factor. Values above 80% for both percent emergence and
vigor are indicative of a well -cured compost. Exceptions include very high salts that affect the cucumbers, excessive concentrations
of nitrates and other nutrients that will be in range when formulated to make a growing media. In addition to testing a 1:1 compost:
vermiculite blend, we also test a diluted 1:4 blend to indicate a more sensitive toxicity level.
Is Your Compost Safe Regarding Health?
Fecal Coliform
< 1000 / g dry wt. Fecal coliforms can survive in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions and is common in all initial
compost piles. Most human pathogens occur from fecal matter and all fecal matter is loaded in fecal coliforms. Therefore fecal
coliforms are used as an indicator to determine if the chosen method for pathogen reduction (heat for compost) has met the
requirements of sufficient temperature, time and mixing. If the fecal coliforms are reduced to below 1000 per gram dry wt. it is
assumed all others pathogens are eliminated. Potential problems are that fecal coliform can regrow during the curing phase or
during shipping. This is because the conditions are now more favorable for growth than during the composting process.
Salmonella Bacteria
Less than 3 3 / 4g dry wt. Salmonella is not only another indicator organism but also a toxic microbe. It has been used in the
case of biosolids industry to determine adequate pathogen reduction.
Metals
Pass The ten heavy metals listed in the EPA 503 regulations are chosen to determine if compost
can be applied to ag land and handled without toxic effects. Most high concentrations of heavy metals are derived from
woodwaste feedstock such as chrome -arsenic treated or lead painted demolition wood. Biosolids are rarely a problem.
Does Your Compost Provide Nutrients or Organic Matter?
Nutrients (N+P205+K20)
6.5 High nutrient content
This value is the sum of the primary nutrients Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. Reported units are consistent with those
found on fertilizer formulations. A sum greater than 5 is indicative of a compost with high nutrient content, and best used to supply
nutrients to a receiving soil. A sum below 2 indicates low nutrient content, and is best -used to improve soil structure via the
addition of organic matter. Most compost falls between 2 and 5.

INTERPRETATION: Page three of three
Aglndex (Nutrients/Na+CI)
13 High nutrient ratio Composts with low Agindex values have high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride
compared to nutrients. Repeated use of a compost with a low Aglndex (< 2) may result in sodium and/or chloride
acting as the limiting factor compared to nutrients, governing application rates. These composts may be used on well -draining
soils and/or with salt -tolerant plants. Additional nutrients form another source may be needed if the application rate is limited by
sodium or chloride. If the Aglndex is above 10, nutrients optimal for plant growth will be available without concern of sodium andlor
chloride toxicity. Composts with an Aglndex of above 10 are good for increasing nutrient levels for all soils. Most composts score
between 2 and 10. Concentrations of nutrients, sodium, and chloride in the receiving soil should be considered when determining
compost application rates. The Agindex is a product of feedstock quality. Feedstock from dairy manure, marine waste, industrial
wastes, and halophytic plants are likely to produce a finished compost with a low Aglndex.
Plant Available Nitrogen (lbs/ton)
18 High N Provider Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) is calculated by estimating the release rate of Nitrogen from
the organic fraction of the compost. This estimate is based on information gathered from the BAC test and measured ammonia and
nitrate values. Despite the PAN value of the compost, additional sources of Nitrogen may be needed during he growing season to off-
set the Nitrogen demand of the microbes present in the compost. With ample nutrients these microbes can further breakdown organic
matter in the compost and release bound Nitrogen. Nitrogen demand based on a high C/N ratio is not considered in the PAN calculation
because additional Nitrogen should always be supplemented to the receiving soil when composts with a high C/N ratio are applied.
C/N Ratio
9.3 Indicates maturity As a guiding principal, a C/N ratio below 14 indicates maturity and above 14 indicates
immaturity, however, there are many exceptions. Large woodchips (>6.3mm), bark, and redwood are slow to breakdown and
therefore can result in a relatively stable product while the C/N ratio value is high_ Additionally, some composts with chicken manure
and/or green grass feedstocks can start with a CIN ratio below 15 and are very unstable. A C/N ratio below 10 supplies Nitrogen,
while a ratio above 20 can deplete Nitrogen from the soil. The rate at which Nitrogen will be released or used by the microbes is
indicated by the respiration rate (BAC). if the respiration rate is too high the transfer of Nitrogen will not be controlable.
Soluble Nutrients & Salts (EC5 w/w dw - mmhos/cm)
18 High salts This value refers to all soluble ions including nutrients, sodium, chloride and some
soluble organic compounds. The concentration of salts will change due to the release of salts from the organic matter as it degrades,
volatilization of ammonia, decomposition of soluble organics, and conversion of molecular structure. High salts + high Aglndex is
indicative of a compost high in readily available nutrients. The application rate of these composts should be limited by the optimum
nutrient value based on soil analysis of the receiving soil. High Salts + low Aglndex is indicative of a compost low in nutrients with
high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride. Limit the application rate according to the toxicity level of thesodium and/or chloride.
Low salts indicates that the compost can be applied without risking salt toxicity, is likely a good source of organic matter, and that
nutrients will release slowly over time.
Lime Content (lbs. per ton)
88 High lime content Compost high in lime or carbonates are often those produced from chicken manure (layers)
ash materials, and lime products. These are excellent products to use on a receiving soil where lime has been recommended by
soil analysis to raise the pH. Composts with a high lime content should be closely considered for pH requirements when formulating
potting mixes.
Physical Properties
Percent Ash
43.6 Average ash content Ash is the non-organic fraction of a compost. Most composts contain approximately 50%
ash (dry weight basis). Compost can be high in ash content for many reasons including: excess minerilzation(old compost),
contamination with soil base material during turning, poor quality feedstock, and soil or mineral products added. Finding the source
and reducing high ash content is often the fastest means to increasing nutrient quality of a compost.
Particle Size % > 6.3 MM (17.25")
0.0 Suitable for all uses Large particles may restrict use for potting soils, golf course topdressings, seed -starter
mixes, and where a fine size distribution is required. Composts with large particles can still be used as excellent additions to field
soils, shrub mixes and mulches_
Particle Size Distribution
Each size fraction is measured by weight, volume and bulk density. These results are particularly relevent with decisions to screen
or not, and if screening, which size screen to use. The bulk density indicates if the fraction screened is made of light weight organic
material or heavy mineral material. Removing large mineral material can greatly improve compost quality by increasing nutrient and
concentrations.

INTERPRETATION:
Is Your Compost Stable? Page two of three
Respiration Rate
1.6 Low: Good for all uses mg CO2-C/g OM/day
The respiration rate is a measurement of the biodegradation rate of the organic matter in the sample (as received).
The respiration rate is determined by measuring the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture and
temperature conditions.
Biologically Available Carbon
2 Low: Good for all uses mg CO2-C/g OM/day
Biologically Available Carbon (BAC) is a measurement of the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture, temperature,
porosity, nutrients, pH and microbial conditions. If both the RR and the BAC test values are close to the same value, the pile is
optimized for composting. If both values are high the compost pile just needs more time. If both values are low the compost has
stabilized and should be moved to curing. BAC test values that are higher than RR indicate that the compost pile has stalled. This
could be due to anaerobic conditions, lack of available nitrogen due to excessive air converting ammonia to the unavailable nitrate
form, lack of nitrogen or other nutrients due to poor choice of feedstock, pH value out of range, or microbes rendered non-active.
is Your Compost Mature?
AmmoniaN:NitrateN ratio
11 immature
Composting to stabilize carbon can occur at such a rapid rate that sometimes phytotoxins remain in
the compost and must be neutralized before using in high concentrations or in high-end uses. This
Ammonia N ppm step is called curing. Typically ammonia is in excess with the break -down of organic materials resulting
3000 immature in an increase in pH. This combination results in a loss of volatile ammonia (it smells). Once this toxic
Nitrate N ppm ammonia has been reduced and the pH drops, the microbes convert the ammonia to nitrates. A low
280 mature ammonia + high nitrate score is indicative of a mature compost, however there are many exceptions.
pH value For example, a compost with a low pH (<7) will retain ammonia, while a compost with high lime content
7.23 mature can lose ammonia before the organic fraction becomes stable. Composts must first be stable before
curing indicators apply.
Cucumber Bioassay
88.3 Percent Cucumbers are chosen for this test because they are salt tolerant and very sensitive to ammonia
and organic acid toxicity. Therefore, we can germinate seeds in high concentrations of compost to
measure phytotoxic effects without soluble salts being the limiting factor. Values above 80% for both percent emergence and
vigor are indicative of a well -cured compost. Exceptions include very high salts that affect the cucumbers, excessive concentrations
of nitrates and other nutrients that will be in range when formulated to make a growing media. In addition to testing a 1:1 compost:
vermiculite blend, we also test a diluted 1:4 blend to indicate a more sensitive toxicity level.
Is Your Compost Safe Regarding Health?
Fecal Coliform
< 1000 / g dry wt. Fecal coliforms can survive in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions and is common in all initial
compost piles. Most human pathogens occur from fecal matter and all fecal matter is loaded in fecal coliforms. Therefore fecal
coliforms are used as an indicator to determine if the chosen method for pathogen reduction (heat for compost) has met the
requirements of sufficient temperature, time and mixing. If the fecal coliforms are reduced to below 1000 per gram dry wt. it is
assumed all others pathogens are eliminated. Potential problems are that fecal coliform can regrow during the curing phase or
during shipping. This is because the conditions are now more favorable for growth than during the composting process.
Salmonella Bacteria
Less than 3 3 / 4g dry wt. Salmonella is not only another indicator organism but also a toxic microbe. It has been used in the
case of biosolids industry to determine adequate pathogen reduction.
Metals
Pass The ten heavy metals listed in the EPA 503 regulations are chosen to determine if compost
can be applied to ag land and handled without toxic effects. Most high concentrations of heavy metals are derived from
woodwaste feedstock such as chrome -arsenic treated or lead painted demolition wood. Biosolids are rarely a problem.
Does Your Compost Provide Nutrients or Organic Matter?
Nutrients (N+P205+K20)
5.6 High nutrient content
This value is the sum of the primary nutrients Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. Reported units are consistent with those
found on fertilizer formulations. A sum greater than 5 is indicative of a compost with high nutrient content, and best used to supply
nutrients to a receiving soil. A sum below 2 indicates low nutrient content, and is best -used to improve soil structure via the
addition of organic matter. Most compost falls between 2 and 5.

5040167 - 1/1 - 2215 Sample i.d. Soil Builder Delway
Group: Apr.15 B No. 2 Sample I.d. No. 1/1 5040167
INTERPRETATION: Page three of three
Aglndex (Nutrients/Na+Cl)
13 High nutrient ratio Composts with low Aglndex values have high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride
compared to nutrients. Repeated use of a compost with a low Ag Index (< 2) may result in sodium and/or chloride
acting as the limiting factor compared to nutrients, governing application rates. These composts may be used on well -draining
soils and/or with salt -tolerant plants. Additional nutrients form another source may be needed if the application rate is limited by
sodium or chloride. If the Aglndex is above 10, nutrients optimal for plant growth will be available without concern of sodium and/or
chloride toxicity. Composts with an Aglndex of above 10 are good for increasing nutrient levels for all soils. Most composts score
between 2 and 10. Concentrations of nutrients, sodium, and chloride in the receiving soil should be considered when determining
compost application rates. The Aglndex is a product of feedstock quality. Feedstock from dairy manure, marine waste, industrial
wastes, and halophytic plants are likely to produce a finished compost with a low Aglndex.
Plant Available Nitrogen (lbsiton)
6 Average N Provider Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) is calculated by estimating the release rate of Nitrogen from
the organic fraction of the compost. This estimate is based on information gathered from the BAC test and measured ammonia and
nitrate values. Despite the PAN value of the compost, additional sources of Nitrogen may be needed during he growing season to off-
set the Nitrogen demand of the microbes present in the compost. With ample nutrients these microbes can further breakdown organic
matter in the compost and release bound Nitrogen. Nitrogen demand based on a high C/N ratio is not considered in the PAN calculation
because additional Nitrogen should always be supplemented to the receiving soil when composts with a high C/N ratio are applied.
C/N Ratio
11 Indicates maturity As a guiding principal, a C/N ratio below 14 indicates maturity and above 14 indicates
immaturity, however, there are many exceptions. Large woodchips (>6.3mm), bark, and redwood are slow to breakdown and
therefore can result in a relatively stable product while the C/N ratio value is high. Additionally, some composts with chicken manure
and/or green grass feedstocks can start with a C/N ratio below 15 and are very unstable. A C/N ratio below 10 supplies Nitrogen,
while a ratio above 20 can deplete Nitrogen from the soil. The rate at which Nitrogen will be released or used by the microbes is
indicated by the respiration rate (BAC). If the respiration rate is too high the transfer of Nitrogen will not be controlable.
Soluble Nutrients & Salts (EC5 w/w dw - mmhos/cm)
12 High salts This value refers to all soluble ions including nutrients, sodium, chloride and some
soluble organic compounds. The concentration of salts will change due to the release of salts from the organic matter as it degrades,
volatilization of ammonia, decomposition of soluble organics, and conversion of molecular structure. High salts + high Aglndex is
indicative of a compost high in readily available nutrients. The application rate of these composts should be limited by the optimum
nutrient value based on soil analysis of the receiving soil. High Salts + low Aglndex is indicative of a compost low in nutrients with
high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride. Limit the application rate according to the toxicity level of thesodium and/or chloride.
Low salts indicates that the compost can be applied without risking salt toxicity, is likely a good source of organic matter, and that
nutrients will release slowly over time.
Lime Content (lbs. per ton)
130 High lime content Compost high in lime or carbonates are often those produced from chicken manure (layers)
ash materials, and lime products. These are excellent products to use on a receiving soil where lime has been recommended by
soil analysis to raise the pH. Composts with a high lime content should be closely considered for pH requirements when formulating
potting mixes.
Physical Properties
Percent Ash
49.4 Average ash content Ash is the non-organic fraction of a compost. Most composts contain approximately 50%
ash (dry weight basis). Compost can be high in ash content for many reasons including: excess minerilzation(old compost),
contamination with soil base material during turning, poor quality feedstock, and soil or mineral products added. Finding the source

0.0 Suitable for all uses Large particles may restrict use for potting soils, golf course topdressings, seed -starter
mixes, and where a fine size distribution is required. Composts with large particles can stili be used as excellent additions to field
soils, shrub mixes and mulches.
Particle Size Distribution
Each size fraction is measured by weight, volume and bulk density. These results are particularly relevent with decisions to screen
or not, and if screening, which size screen to use. The bulk density indicates if the fraction screened is made of light weight organic
material or heavy mineral material. Removing large mineral material can greatly improve compost quality by increasing nutrient and

INTERPRETATION:
Is Your Compost Stable? Page two of three
Respiration Rate
1.7 Low: Good for all uses mg CO2-C/g OM/day
The respiration rate is a measurement of the biodegradation rate of the organic matter in the sample (as received).
The respiration rate is determined by measuring the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture and
temperature conditions.
Biologically Available Carbon
2 Low: Good for all uses mg CO2-C1g OM/day
Biologically Available Carbon (BAG) is a measurement of the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture, temperature,
porosity, nutrients, pH and microbial conditions. If both the RR and the BAC test values are close to the same value, the pile is
optimized for composting. If both values are high the compost pile just needs more time. If both values are low the compost has
stabilized and should be moved to curing. BAC test values that are higher than RR indicate that the compost pile has stalled. This
could be due to anaerobic conditions, lack of available nitrogen due to excessive air converting ammonia to the unavailable nitrate
form, lack of nitrogen or other nutrients due to poor choice of feedstock, pH value out of range, or microbes rendered non-active.
Is Your Compost Mature?
AmmoniaN:NitrateN ratio
22 immature
Composting to stabilize carbon can occur at such a rapid rate that sometimes phytotoxins remain in
the compost and must be neutralized before using in high concentrations or in high-end uses. This
Ammonia N ppm step is called curing. Typically ammonia is in excess with the break -down of organic materials resulting
3500 immature in an increase in pH. This combination results in a loss of volatile ammonia (it smells). Once this toxic
Nitrate N ppm ammonia has been reduced and the pH drops, the microbes convert the ammonia to nitrates. A low
160 mature ammonia + high nitrate score is indicative of a mature compost, however there are many exceptions.
pH value For example, a compost with a low pH (<7) will retain ammonia, while a compost with high lime content
7.02 mature can lose ammonia before the organic fraction becomes stable. Composts must first be stable before
curing indicators apply.
Cucumber Bioassay
100.0 Percent Cucumbers are chosen for this test because they are salt tolerant and very sensitive to ammonia
and organic acid toxicity. Therefore, we can germinate seeds in high concentrations of compost to
measure phytotoxic effects without soluble salts being the limiting factor. Values above 80% for both percent emergence and
vigor are indicative of a well -cured compost. Exceptions include very high salts that affect the cucumbers, excessive concentrations
of nitrates and other nutrients that will be in range when formulated to make a growing media. In addition to testing a 1:1 compost:
vermiculite blend, we also test a diluted 1:4 blend to indicate a more sensitive toxicity level.
Is Your Compost Safe Regarding Health?
Fecal Coliform
< 1000 1 g dry wt. Fecal coliforms can survive in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions and is common in all initial
compost piles. Most human pathogens occur from fecal matter and all fecal matter is loaded in fecal coliforms. Therefore fecal
coliforms are used as an indicator to determine if the chosen method for pathogen reduction (heat for compost) has met the
requirements of sufficient temperature, time and mixing. If the fecal coliforms are reduced to below 1000 per gram dry wt. it is
assumed all others pathogens are eliminated. Potential problems are that fecal coliform can regrow during the curing phase or
during shipping. This is because the conditions are now more favorable for growth than during the composting process.
Salmonella Bacteria
Less than 3 3 / 4g dry wt. Salmonella is not only another indicator organism but also a toxic microbe. It has been used in the
case of biosolids industry to determine adequate pathogen reduction.
Metals
Pass The ten heavy metals listed in the EPA 503 regulations are chosen to determine if compost
can be applied to ag land and handled without toxic effects. Most high concentrations of heavy metals are derived from
woodwaste feedstock such as chrome -arsenic treated or lead painted demolition wood. Biosolids are rarely a problem.
Does Your Compost Provide Nutrients or Organic Matter?
Nutrients (N+P2O5+K2O)
5.8 High nutrient content
This value is the sum of the primary nutrients Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. Reported units are consistent with those
found on fertilizer formulations. A sum greater than 5 is indicative of a compost with high nutrient content, and best used to supply
nutrients to a receiving soil_ A sum below 2 indicates low nutrient content, and is best -used to improve soil structure via the
addition of organic matter. Most compost falls between 2 and 5.

Group: May.15 B No. 9 Sample I.d. No. 111 5050142
INTERPRETATION: Page three of three
Aglndex (Nutrients/Na+CI)
13 High nutrient ratio Composts with low Aglndex values have high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride
compared to nutrients. Repeated use of a compost with a low Aglndex (< 2) may result in sodium and/or chloride
acting as the limiting factor compared to nutrients, governing application rates. These composts may be used on well -draining
soils and/or with salt -tolerant plants. Additional nutrients form another source may be needed if the application rate is limited by
sodium or chloride_ If the Aglndex is above 10, nutrients optimal for plant growth will be available without concern of sodium and/or
chloride toxicity. Composts with an Aglndex of above 10 are good for increasing nutrient levels for all soils. Most composts score
between 2 and 10. Concentrations of nutrients, sodium, and chloride in the receiving soil should be considered when determining
compost application rates. The Aglndex is a product of feedstock quality. Feedstock from dairy manure, marine waste, industrial
wastes, and halophytic plants are likely to produce a finished compost with a low Aglndex.
Plant Available Nitrogen (lbs/ton)
10 Average N Provider Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) is calculated by estimating the release rate of Nitrogen from
the organic fraction of the compost. This estimate is based on information gathered from the BAC test and measured ammonia and
nitrate values. Despite the PAN value of the compost, additional sources of Nitrogen may be needed during he growing season to off-
set the Nitrogen demand of the microbes present in the compost. With ample nutrients these microbes can further breakdown organic
matter in the compost and release bound Nitrogen. Nitrogen demand based on a high C/N ratio is not considered in the PAN calculation
because additional Nitrogen should always be supplemented to the receiving soil when composts with a high C/N ratio are applied.
C/N Ratio
10 Indicates maturity As a guiding principal, a C/N ratio below 14 indicates maturity and above 14 indicates
immaturity, however, there are many exceptions. Large woodchips (>6.3mm), bark, and redwood are slow to breakdown and
therefore can result in a relatively stable product while the C/N ratio value is high. Additionally, some composts with chicken manure
and/or green grass feedstocks can start with a C/N ratio below 15 and are very unstable. A C/N ratio below 10 supplies Nitrogen,
while a ratio above 20 can deplete Nitrogen from the soil. The rate at which Nitrogen will be released or used by the microbes is
indicated by the respiration rate (BAC). If the respiration rate is too high the transfer of Nitrogen will not be controlable.
Soluble Nutrients & Salts (ECS w/w dw - mmhos/cm)
12 High salts This value refers to all soluble ions including nutrients, sodium, chloride and some
soluble organic compounds. The concentration of salts will change due to the release of salts from the organic matter as it degrades,
volatilization of ammonia, decomposition of soluble organics, and conversion of molecular structure. High salts + high Aglndex is
indicative of a compost high in readily available nutrients. The application rate of these composts should be limited by the optimum
nutrient value based on soil analysis of the receiving soil, High Salts + low Aglndex is indicative of a compost low in nutrients with
high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride. Limit the application rate according to the toxicity level of thesodium and/or chloride.
Low salts indicates that the compost can be applied without risking salt toxicity, is likely a good source of organic matter, and that
nutrients will release slowly over time.
Lime Content (Ibs. per ton)
110 High lime content Compost high in lime or carbonates are often those produced from chicken manure (layers)
ash materials, and lime products. These are excellent products to use on a receiving soil where lime has been recommended by
soil analysis to raise the pH. Composts with a high lime content should be closely considered for pH requirements when formulating
potting mixes.
Physical Properties
Percent Ash
52.0 Average ash content Ash is the non-organic fraction of a compost. Most composts contain approximately 50%
ash (dry weight basis). Compost can be high in ash content for many reasons including: excess minerilzation(old compost),
contamination with soil base material during turning, poor quality feedstock, and soil or mineral products added. Finding the source
and reducing high ash content is often the fastest means to increasing nutrient quality of a compost.
Particle Size % > 6.3 MM (0.25")
0.0 Suitable for all uses Large particles may restrict use for potting soils, golf course topdressings, seed -starter
mixes, and where a fine size distribution is required. Composts with large particles can still be used as excellent additions to field
soils, shrub mixes and mulches.
Particle Size Distribution
Each size fraction is measured by weight, volume and bulk density. These results are particularly relevent with decisions to screen
or not, and if screening, which size screen to use. The bulk density indicates if the fraction screened is made of light weight organic
material or heavy mineral material. Removing large mineral material can greatly improve compost quality by increasing nutrient and
organic concentrations.

INTERPRETATION:
Is Your Compost Stable? Page two of three
Respiration Rate
2.4 Low: Good for all uses mg CO2-C/g OM/day
The respiration rate is a measurement of the biodegradation rate of the organic matter in the sample (as received).
The respiration rate is determined by measuring the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture and
temperature conditions.
Biologically Available Carbon
3 Low: Good for all uses mg CO2-C/g OM/day
Biologically Available Carbon (BAC) is a measurement of the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture, temperature,
porosity, nutrients, pH and microbial conditions. If both the RR and the BAC test values are close to the same value, the pile is
optimized for composting. If both values are high the compost pile just needs more time. If both values are low the compost has
stabilized and should be moved to curing. BAC test values that are higher than RR indicate that the compost pile has stalled. This
could be due to anaerobic conditions, lack of available nitrogen due to excessive air converting ammonia to the unavailable nitrate
form, lack of nitrogen or other nutrients due to poor choice of feedstock, pH value out of range, or microbes rendered non-active.
Is Your Compost Mature?
AmmoniaN:Nit:rateN ratio
250 immature
Composting to stabilize carbon can occur at such a rapid rate that sometimes phytotoxins remain in
the compost and must be neutralized before using in high concentrations or in high-end uses. This
Ammonia N ppm step is called curing. Typically ammonia is in excess with the break -down of organic materials resulting
2800 immature in an increase in pH. This combination results in a loss of volatile ammonia (it smells). Once this toxic
Nitrate N ppm ammonia has been reduced and the pH drops, the microbes convert the ammonia to nitrates. A low
11 immature ammonia + high nitrate score is indicative of a mature compost, however there are many exceptions.
pH value For example, a compost with a low pH (<7) will retain ammonia, while a compost with high lime content
7.63 mature can lose ammonia before the organic fraction becomes stable. Composts must first be stable before
curing indicators apply.
Cucumber Bioassay
100.0 Percent Cucumbers are chosen for this test because they are salt tolerant and very sensitive to ammonia
and organic acid toxicity. Therefore, we can germinate seeds in high concentrations of compost to
measure phytotoxic effects without soluble salts being the limiting factor. Values above 80% for both percent emergence and
vigor are indicative of a well -cured compost. Exceptions include very high salts that affect the cucumbers, excessive concentrations
of nitrates and other nutrients that will be in range when formulated to make a growing media. In addition to testing a 1:1 compost:
vermiculite blend, we also test a diluted 1:4 blend to indicate a more sensitive toxicity level.
Is Your Compost Safe Regarding Health?
Fecal Coliform
< 1000 I g dry wt. Fecal coliforms can survive in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions and is common in all initial
compost piles. Most human pathogens occur from fecal matter and all fecal matter is loaded in fecal coliforms. Therefore fecal
coliforms are used as an indicator to determine if the chosen method for pathogen reduction (heat for compost) has met the
requirements of sufficient temperature, time and mixing. If the fecal coliforms are reduced to below 1000 per gram dry wt. it is
assumed all others pathogens are eliminated. Potential problems are that fecal coliform can regrow during the curing phase or
during shipping. This is because the conditions are now more favorable for growth than during the composting process.
Salmonella Bacteria
Less than 3 3 / 4g dry wt. Salmonella is not only another indicator organism but also a toxic microbe. It has been used in the
case of biosolids industry to detennine adequate pathogen reduction.
Metals
Pass The ten heavy metals listed in the EPA 503 regulations are chosen to determine if compost
can be applied to ag land and handled without toxic effects. Most high concentrations of heavy metals are derived from
woodwaste feedstock such as chrome -arsenic treated or lead painted demolition wood. Biosolids are rarely a problem.
Does Your Compost Provide Nutrients or Organic Matter?
Nutrients (N+P205+K20)
5.3 High nutrient content
This value is the sum of the primary nutrients Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. Reported units are consistent with those
found on fertilizer formulations. A sum greater than 5 is indicative of a compost with high nutrient content, and best used to supply
nutrients to a receiving soil. A sum below 2 indicates low nutrient content, and is best -used to improve soil structure via the
addition of organic matter. Most compost falls between 2 and 5.

INTERPRETATION: Page three of three
Aglndex (NutrientslNa+Cl)
10 High nutrient ratio Composts with low Aglndex values have high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride
compared to nutrients. Repeated use of a compost with a low Aglndex (< 2) may result in sodium and/or chloride
acting as the limiting factor compared to nutrients, governing application rates. These composts may be used on well -draining
soils and/or with salt -tolerant plants. Additional nutrients form another source may be needed if the application rate is limited by
sodium or chloride. If the Aglndex is above 10, nutrients optimal for plant growth will be available without concern of sodium and/or
chloride toxicity. Composts with an Aglndex of above 10 are good for increasing nutrient levels for all soils_ Most composts score
between 2 and 10. Concentrations of nutrients, sodium, and chloride in the receiving soil should be considered when determining
compost application rates. The Aglndex is a product of feedstock quality. Feedstock from dairy manure, marine waste, industrial
wastes, and halophytic plants are likely to produce a finished compost with a low Aglndex.
Plant Available Nitrogen (lbs/ton)
8 Average N Provider Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) is calculated by estimating the release rate of Nitrogen from
the organic fraction of the compost. This estimate is based on information gathered from the BAC test and measured ammonia and
nitrate values. Despite the PAN value of the compost, additional sources of Nitrogen may be needed during he growing season to off-
set the Nitrogen demand of the microbes present in the compost. With ample nutrients these microbes can further breakdown organic
matter in the compost and release bound Nitrogen. Nitrogen demand based on a high C/N ratio is not considered in the PAN calculation
because additional Nitrogen should always be supplemented to the receiving soil when composts with a high C/N ratio are applied.
CIN Ratio
13 Indicates maturity As a guiding principal, a C/N ratio below 14 indicates maturity and above 14 indicates
immaturity, however, there are many exceptions. Large woodchips (>6.3mm), bark, and redwood are slow to breakdown and
therefore can result in a relatively stable product while the CIN ratio value is high. Additionally, some composts with chicken manure
and/or green grass feedstocks can start with a C/N ratio below 15 and are very unstable. A C/N ratio below 10 supplies Nitrogen,
while a ratio above 20 can deplete Nitrogen from the soil. The rate at which Nitrogen will be released or used by the microbes is
indicated by the respiration rate (BAC). If the respiration rate is too high the transfer of Nitrogen will not be controlable_
Soluble Nutrients & Salts (ECS w/w dw - mmhos/cm)
14 High salts This value refers to all soluble ions including nutrients, sodium, chloride and some
soluble organic compounds. The concentration of salts will change due to the release of salts from the organic matter as it degrades,
volatilization of ammonia, decomposition of soluble organics, and conversion of molecular structure. High salts + high Aglndex is
indicative of a compost high in readily available nutrients. The application rate of these composts should be limited by the optimum
nutrient value based on soil analysis of the receiving soil. High Salts + low Aglndex is indicative of a compost low in nutrients with
high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride. Limit the application rate according to the toxicity level of thesodium and/or chloride.
Low salts indicates that the compost can be applied without risking salt toxicity, is likely a good source of organic matter, and that
nutrients will release slowly over time.
Lime Content (lbs. per ton)
77 High lime content Compost high in lime or carbonates are often those produced from chicken manure (layers)
ash materials, and lime products. These are excellent products to use on a receiving soil where lime has been recommended by
soil analysis to raise the pH. Composts with a high lime content should be closely considered for pH requirements when formulating
potting mixes.
Physical Properties
Percent Ash
42.8 Average ash content Ash is the non-organic fraction of a compost. Most composts contain approximately 50%
ash (dry weight basis). Compost can be high in ash content for many reasons including: excess minerilzation(old compost),
contamination with soil base material during turning, poor quality feedstock, and soil or mineral products added. Finding the source
and reducing high ash content is often the fastest means to increasing nutrient quality of a compost.
Particle Size % > 6.3 MM (0.25")
7.6 May restrict use Large particles may restrict use for potting soils, golf course topdressings, seed -starter
mixes, and where a fine size distribution is required. Composts with large particles can still be used as excellent additions to field
soils, shrub mixes and mulches.
Particle Size Distribution
Each size fraction is measured by weight, volume and bulk density. These results are particularly relevent with decisions to screen
or not, and if screening, which size screen to use. The bulk density indicates if the fraction screened is made of light weight organic
material or heavy mineral material. Removing large mineral material can greatly improve compost quality by increasing nutrient and
organic concenrraoons.

INTERPRETATION:
Is Your Compost Stable?
Respiration Rate
Page two of three
2.1 Low: Good for all uses mg CO2-C/g OMlday
The respiration rate is a measurement of the biodegradation rate of the organic matter in the sample (as received).
The respiration rate is determined by measuring the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture and
temperature conditions.
Biologically Available Carbon
2 Low: Good for all uses mg CO2-C/g OM/day
Biologically Available Carbon (BAC) is a measurement of the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture, temperature,
porosity, nutrients, pH and microbial conditions. If both the RR and the BAC test values are close to the same value, the pile is
optimized for composting. If both values are high the compost pile just needs more time. If both values are low the compost has
stabilized and should be moved to curing. BAC test values that are higher than RR indicate that the compost pile has stalled. This
could be due to anaerobic conditions, lack of available nitrogen due to excessive air converting ammonia to the unavailable nitrate
form, lack of nitrogen or other nutrients due to poor choice of feedstock, pH value out of range, or microbes rendered non-active.
Is Your Compost Mature?
AmmoniaN:NitrateN ratio
23000 immature
Composting to stabilize carbon can occur at such a rapid rate that sometimes phytotoxins remain in
the compost and must be neutralized before using in high concentrations or in high-end uses. This
Ammonia N ppm step is called curing. Typically ammonia is in excess with the break -down of organic materials resulting
2500 immature in an increase in pH. This combination results in a loss of volatile ammonia (it smells). Once this toxic
Nitrate N ppm ammonia has been reduced and the pH drops, the microbes convert the ammonia to nitrates. A low
0.11 immature ammonia + high nitrate score is indicative of a mature compost, however there are many exceptions.
pH value For example, a compost with a low pH (<7) will retain ammonia, while a compost with high lime content
7.64 mature can lose ammonia before the organic fraction becomes stable. Composts must first be stable before
curing indicators apply.
Cucumber Bioassay
100.0 Percent Cucumbers are chosen for this test because they are salt tolerant and very sensitive to ammonia
and organic acid toxicity. Therefore, we can germinate seeds in high concentrations of compost to
measure phytotoxic effects without soluble salts being the limiting factor. Values above 80% for both percent emergence and
vigor are indicative of a well -cured compost. Exceptions include very high salts that affect the cucumbers, excessive concentrations
of nitrates and other nutrients that will be in range when formulated to make a growing media. In addition to testing a 1:1 compost:
vermiculite blend, we also test a diluted 1:4 blend to indicate a more sensitive toxicity level.
Is Your Compost Safe Regarding Health?
Fecal Coliform
< 1000 / g dry wt. Fecal coliforms can survive in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions and is common in all initial
compost piles. Most human pathogens occur from fecal matter and all fecal matter is loaded in fecal coliforms. Therefore fecal
coliforms are used as an indicator to determine if the chosen method for pathogen reduction (heat for compost) has met the
requirements of sufficient temperature, time and mixing. If the fecal coliforms are reduced to below 1000 per gram dry wt. it is
assumed all others pathogens are eliminated. Potential problems are that fecal coliform can regrow during the curing phase or
during shipping. This is because the conditions are now more favorable for growth than during the composting process.
Salmonella Bacteria
Less than 3 3 / 4g dry wt. Salmonella is not only another indicator organism but also a toxic microbe. It has been used in the
case of biosolids industry to determine adequate pathogen reduction.
Metals
Pass The ten heavy metals listed in the EPA 503 regulations are chosen to determine if compost
can be applied to ag land and handled without toxic effects. Most high concentrations of heavy metals are derived from
woodwaste feedstock such as chrome -arsenic treated or lead painted demolition wood. Biosolids are rarely a problem.
Does Your Compost Provide Nutrients or Organic Matter?
Nutrients (N+P2O5+K2O)
6.2 High nutrient content
This value is the sum of the primary nutrients Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. Reported units are consistent with those
found on fertilizer formulations. A sum greater than 5 is indicative of a compost with high nutrient content, and best used to supply
nutrients to a receiving soil. A sum below 2 indicates low nutrient content, and is best -used to improve soil structure via the
addition of organic matter. Most compost falls between 2 and 5.

compared to nutrients. Repeated use of a compost with a low Aglndex (< 2) may result in sodium and/or chloride
acting as the limiting factor compared to nutrients, governing application rates. These composts may be used on well -draining
soils and/or with salt -tolerant plants. Additional nutrients form another source may be needed if the application rate is limited by
sodium or chloride. If the Ag Index is above 10, nutrients optimal for plant growth will be available without concern of sodium and/or
chloride toxicity. Composts with an Aglndex of above 10 are good for increasing nutrient levels for all soils. Most composts score
between 2 and 10. Concentrations of nutrients, sodium, and chloride in the receiving soil should be considered when determining
compost application rates. The Aglndex is a product of feedstock quality. Feedstock from dairy manure, marine waste, industrial
wastes, and halophytic plants are likely to produce a finished compost with a low Aglndex.
Plant Available Nitrogen (lbs/ton)
8 Average N Provider Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) is calculated by estimating the release rate of Nitrogen from
the organic fraction of the compost. This estimate is based on information gathered from the BAC test and measured ammonia and
nitrate values. Despite the PAN value of the compost, additional sources of Nitrogen may be needed during he growing season to off-
set the Nitrogen demand of the microbes present in the compost. With ample nutrients these microbes can further breakdown organic
matter in the compost and release bound Nitrogen. Nitrogen demand based on a high C/N ratio is not considered in the PAN calculation
because additional Nitrogen should always be supplemented to the receiving soil when composts with a high C/N ratio are applied.
C/N Ratio
11 Indicates maturity As a guiding principal, a CIN ratio below 14 indicates maturity and above 14 indicates
immaturity, however, there are many exceptions. Large woodchips (>6.3mm), bark, and redwood are slow to breakdown and
therefore can result in a relatively stable product while the C/N ratio value is high. Additionally, some composts with chicken manure
and/or green grass feedstocks can start with a C/N ratio below 15 and are very unstable. A C/N ratio below 10 supplies Nitrogen,
while a ratio above 20 can deplete Nitrogen from the soil. The rate at which Nitrogen will be released or used by the microbes is
indicated by the respiration rate (BAC). If the respiration rate is too high the transfer of Nitrogen will not be controlable.
Soluble Nutrients S Salts (EC5 wlw dw - mmhos/cm)
12 High salts This value refers to all soluble ions including nutrients, sodium, chloride and some
soluble organic compounds. The concentration of salts will change due to the release of salts from the organic matter as it degrades,
volatilization of ammonia, decomposition of soluble organics, and conversion of molecular structure. High salts + high Aglndex is
indicative of a compost high in readily available nutrients. The application rate of these composts should be limited by the optimum
nutrient value based on soil analysis of the receiving soil. High Salts + low Aglndex is indicative of a compost low in nutrients with
high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride. Limit the application rate according to the toxicity level of thesodium and/or chloride.
Low salts indicates that the compost can be applied without risking salt toxicity, is likely a good source of organic matter, and that
nutrients will release slowly over time.
Lime Content (lbs. per ton)
99 High lime content Compost high in lime or carbonates are often those produced from chicken manure (layers)
ash materials, and lime products. These are excellent products to use on a receiving soil where lime has been recommended by
soil analysis to raise the pH. Composts with a high lime content should be closely considered for pH requirements when formulating
potting mixes.
Physical Properties
Percent Ash
51.1 Average ash content Ash is the non-organic fraction of a compost. Most composts contain approximately 50%
ash (dry weight basis). Compost can be high in ash content for many reasons including: excess minerilzation(old compost),
contamination with soil base material during turning, poor quality feedstock, and soil or mineral products added. Finding the source
and reducing high ash content is often the fastest means to increasing nutrient quality of a compost.
Particle Size % > 6.3 MM (0.25")
0.0 Suitable for all uses Large particles may restrict use for potting soils, golf course topdressings, seed -starter
mixes, and where a fine size distribution is required. Composts with large particles can still be used as excellent additions to field
soils, shrub mixes and mulches.
Particle Size Distribution
Each size fraction is measured by weight, volume and bulk density. These results are particularly relevent with decisions to screen
or not, and if screening, which size screen to use. The bulk density indicates if the fraction screened is made of light weight organic
material or heavy mineral material. Removing large mineral material can greatly improve compost quality by increasing nutrient and

INTERPRETATION:
Is Your Compost Stable? Page two of three
Respiration Rate
2.6 Low: Good for all uses mg CO2-C/g OM/day
The respiration rate is a measurement of the biodegradation rate of the organic matter in the sample (as received).
The respiration rate is determined by measuring the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture and
temperature conditions.
Biologically Available Carbon
3 Low: Good for all uses mg CO2-C/g OM/day
Biologically Available Carbon (BAC) is a measurement of the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture, temperature,
porosity, nutrients, pH and microbial conditions. If both the RR and the BAC test values are close to the same value, the pile is
optimized for composting. If both values are high the compost pile just needs more time. If both values are low the compost has
stabilized and should be moved to curing. BAC test values that are higher than RR indicate that the compost pile has stalled. This
could be due to anaerobic conditions, lack of available nitrogen due to excessive air converting ammonia to the unavailable nitrate
form, lack of nitrogen or other nutrients due to poor choice of feedstock, pH value out of range, or microbes rendered non-active.
Is Your Compost Mature?
Ammon iaN:NitrateN ratio
81 immature
Composting to stabilize carbon can occur at such a rapid rate that sometimes phytotoxins remain in
the compost and must be neutralized before using in high concentrations or in high-end uses. This
Ammonia N ppm step is called curing. Typically ammonia is in excess with the break -down of organic materials resulting
2200 immature in an increase in pH. This combination results in a loss of volatile ammonia (it smells). Once this toxic
Nitrate N ppm ammonia has been reduced and the pH drops, the microbes convert the ammonia to nitrates. A low
27 immature ammonia + high nitrate score is indicative of a mature compost, however there are many exceptions.
pH value For example, a compost with a low pH (<7) will retain ammonia, while a compost with high lime content
7.44 mature can lose ammonia before the organic fraction becomes stable. Composts must first be stable before
curing indicators apply.
Cucumber Bioassay
100.0 Percent Cucumbers are chosen for this test because they are salt tolerant and very sensitive to ammonia
and organic acid toxicity. Therefore, we can germinate seeds in high concentrations of compost to
measure phytotoxic effects without soluble salts being the limiting factor. Values above 80% for both percent emergence and
vigor are indicative of a well -cured compost. Exceptions include very high salts that affect the cucumbers, excessive concentrations
of nitrates and other nutrients that will be in range when formulated to make a growing media. In addition to testing a 1:1 compost:
vermiculite blend, we also test a diluted 1:4 blend to indicate a more sensitive toxicity level.
Is Your Compost Safe Regarding Health?
Fecal Coliform
< 1000 / g dry wt. Fecal coliforms can survive in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions and is common in all initial
compost piles. Most human pathogens occur from fecal matter and all fecal matter is loaded in fecal coliforms. Therefore fecal
coliforms are used as an indicator to determine if the chosen method for pathogen reduction (heat for compost) has met the
requirements of sufficient temperature, time and mixing. If the fecal coliforms are reduced to below 1000 per gram dry wt. it is
assumed all others pathogens are eliminated. Potential problems are that fecal coliform can regrow during the curing phase or
during shipping. This is because the conditions are now more favorable for growth than during the composting process.
Salmonella Bacteria
Less than 3 3 / 4g dry wt. Salmonella is not only another indicator organism but also a toxic microbe. It has been used in the
case of biosolids industry to determine adequate pathogen reduction.
Metals
Pass The ten heavy metals listed in the EPA 503 regulations are chosen to determine if compost
can be applied to ag land and handled without toxic effects. Most high concentrations of heavy metals are derived from
woodwaste feedstock such as chrome -arsenic treated or lead painted demolition wood. Biosolids are rarely a problem.
Does Your Compost Provide Nutrients or Organic Matter?
Nutrients (N+P-205+K20)
5.4 High nutrient content
This value is the sum of the primary nutrients Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. Reported units are consistent with those
found on fertilizer formulations. A sum greater than 5 is indicative of a compost with high nutrient content, and best used to supply
nutrients to a receiving soil. A sum below 2 indicates low nutrient content, and is best -used to improve soil structure via the
addition of organic matter. Most compost falls between 2 and 5.

INTERPRETATION: Page three of three
Aglndex (NutrientslNa+Cl)
11 High nutrient ratio Composts with low Aglndex values have high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride
compared to nutrients. Repeated use of a compost with a low Aglndex (< 2) may result in sodium and/or chloride
acting as the limiting factor compared to nutrients, governing application rates. These composts may be used on well -draining
soils and/or with salt -tolerant plants. Additional nutrients form another source may be needed if the application rate is limited by
sodium or chloride. If the Aglndex is above 10, nutrients optimal for plant growth will be available without concern of sodium and/or
chloride toxicity. Composts with an Agindex of above 10 are good for increasing nutrient levels for all soils. Most composts score
between 2 and 10. Concentrations of nutrients, sodium, and chloride in the receiving soil should be considered when determining
compost application rates. The Aglndex is a product of feedstock quality. Feedstock from dairy manure, marine waste, industrial
wastes, and halophytic plants are likely to produce a finished compost with a low Aglndex.
Plant Available Nitrogen (Ibs/ton)
8 Average N Provider Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) is calculated by estimating the release rate of Nitrogen from
the organic fraction of the compost. This estimate is based on information gathered from the BAC test and measured ammonia and
nitrate values. Despite the PAN value of the compost, additional sources of Nitrogen may be needed during he growing season to off-
set the Nitrogen demand of the microbes present in the compost. With ample nutrients these microbes can further breakdown organic
matter in the compost and release bound Nitrogen. Nitrogen demand based on a high C/N ratio is not considered in the PAN calculation
because additional Nitrogen should always be supplemented to the receiving soil when composts with a high C/N ratio are applied.
C/N Ratio
13 Indicates maturity As a guiding principal, a C/N ratio below 14 indicates maturity and above 14 indicates
immaturity, however, there are many exceptions. Large woodchips (>6.3mm), bark, and redwood are slow to breakdown and
therefore can result in a relatively stable product while the C/N ratio value is high. Additionally, some composts with chicken manure
and/or green grass feedstocks can start with a C/N ratio below 15 and are very unstable. A C/N ratio below 10 supplies Nitrogen,
while a ratio above 20 can deplete Nitrogen from the soil. The rate at which Nitrogen will be released or used by the microbes is
indicated by the respiration rate (BAC). If the respiration rate is too high the transfer of Nitrogen will not be controlable.
Soluble Nutrients & Salts (EC5 w/w dw - mmhos/cm)
11 High salts This value refers to all soluble ions including nutrients, sodium, chloride and some
soluble organic compounds. The concentration of salts will change due to the release of salts from the organic matter as it degrades,
volatilization of ammonia, decomposition of soluble organics, and conversion of molecular structure. High salts + high Aglndex is
indicative of a compost high in readily available nutrients. The application rate of these composts should be limited by the optimum
nutrient value based on soil analysis of the receiving soil. High Salts + low Aglndex is indicative of a compost low in nutrients with
high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride. Limit the application rate according to the toxicity level of thesodium and/or chloride.
Low salts indicates that the compost can be applied without risking salt toxicity, is likely a good source of organic matter, and that
nutrients will release slowly over time.
Lime Content (lbs. per ton)
59 High lime content Compost high in lime or carbonates are often those produced from chicken manure (layers)
ash materials, and lime products_ These are excellent products to use on a receiving soil where lime has been recommended by
soil analysis to raise the pH. Composts with a high lime content should be closely considered for pH requirements when formulating
potting mixes.
Physical Properties
Percent Ash
50.9 Average ash content Ash is the non-organic fraction of a compost. Most composts contain approximately 50%
ash (dry weight basis). Compost can be high in ash content for many reasons including: excess minerilzation(old compost),
contamination with soil base material during turning, poor quality feedstock, and soil or mineral products added. Finding the source
and reducing high ash content is often the fastest means to increasing nutrient quality of a compost.
Particle Size % > 6.3 MM (0.25")
0.0 Suitable for all uses Large particles may restrict use for potting soils, golf course topdressings, seed -starter
mixes, and where a fine size distribution is required. Composts with large particles can still be used as excellent additions to field
soils. shrub mixes and mulches.
Particle Size Distribution
Each size fraction is measured by weight, volume and bulk density. These results are particularly relevent with decisions to screen
or not, and if screening, which size screen to use. The bulk density indicates if the fraction screened is made of light weight organic
material or heavy mineral material. Removing large mineral material can greatly improve compost quality by increasing nutrient and
concentrations.

PAN = (X * (organic N)) + ((NH4-N) + (NO3-N))

INTERPRETATION:
Is Your Compost Stable? Page two of three
Respiration Rats
2.3 Low: Good for all uses mg CO2-C1g OM/day
The respiration rate is a measurement of the biodegradation rate of the organic matter in the sample (as received).
The respiration rate is determined by measuring the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture and
temperature conditions.
Biologically Available Carbon
3 Low: Good for all uses mg CO2-C/g OM/day
Biologically Available Carbon (BAC) is a measurement of the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture, temperature,
porosity, nutrients, pH and microbial conditions. If both the RR and the BAC test values are close to the same value, the pile is
optimized for composting. If both values are high the compost pile just needs more time. If both values are low the compost has
stabilized and should be moved to curing. BAC test values that are higher than RR indicate that the compost pile has stalled. This
could be due to anaerobic conditions, lack of available nitrogen due to excessive air converting ammonia to the unavailable nitrate
form, lack of nitrogen or other nutrients due to poor choice of feedstock, pH value out of range, or microbes rendered non-active.
Is Your Compost Mature?
AmmoniaN.NitrateN ratio
55 immature
Composting to stabilize carbon can occur at such a rapid rate that sometimes phytotoxins remain in
the compost and must be neutralized before using in high concentrations or in high-end uses. This
Ammonia N ppm step is called curing. Typically ammonia is in excess with the break -down of organic materials resulting
2100 immature in an increase in pH. This combination results in a loss of volatile ammonia (it smells). Once this toxic
Nitrate N ppm ammonia has been reduced and the pH drops, the microbes convert the ammonia to nitrates. A low
38 immature ammonia + high nitrate score is indicative of a mature compost, however there are many exceptions.
pH value For example, a compost with a low pH (<7) will retain ammonia, while a compost with high lime content
7.97 mature can lose ammonia before the organic fraction becomes stable. Composts must first be stable before
curing indicators apply.
Cucumber Bioassay
100.0 Percent Cucumbers are chosen for this test because they are salt tolerant and very sensitive to ammonia
and organic acid toxicity. Therefore, we can germinate seeds in high concentrations of compost to
measure phytotoxic effects without soluble salts being the limiting factor. Values above 80% for both percent emergence and
vigor are indicative of a well -cured compost. Exceptions include very high salts that affect the cucumbers, excessive concentrations
of nitrates and other nutrients that will be in range when formulated to make a growing media. In addition to testing a 1.1 compost:
vermiculite blend, we also test a diluted 1:4 blend to indicate a more sensitive toxicity level.
Is Your Compost Safe Regarding Health?
Fecal Coliform
< 1000 / g dry wt. Fecal coliforms can survive in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions and is common in all initial
compost piles. Most human pathogens occur from fecal matter and all fecal matter is loaded in fecal coliforms. Therefore fecal
coliforms are used as an indicator to determine if the chosen method for pathogen reduction (heat for compost) has met the
requirements of sufficient temperature, time and mixing. If the fecal coliforms are reduced to below 1000 per gram dry wt. it is
assumed all others pathogens are eliminated. Potential problems are that fecal coliform can regrow during the curing phase or
during shipping. This is because the conditions are now more favorable for growth than during the composting process.
Salmonella Bacteria
Less than 3 3 / 4g dry wt. Salmonella is not only another indicator organism but also a toxic microbe. It has been used in the
case of biosolids industry to determine adequate pathogen reduction.
Metals
Pass The ten heavy metals listed in the EPA 503 regulations are chosen to determine if compost
can be applied to ag land and handled without toxic effects. Most high concentrations of heavy metals are derived from
woodwaste feedstock such as chrome -arsenic treated or lead painted demolition wood. Biosolids are rarely a problem.
Does Your Compost Provide Nutrients or Organic Matter?
Nutrients (N+P205+K20)
5.6 High nutrient content
This value is the sum of the primary nutrients Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. Reported units are consistent with those
found on fertilizer formulations. A sum greater than 5 is indicative of a compost with high nutrient content, and best used to supply
nutrients to a receiving soil. A sum below 2 indicates low nutrient content, and is best -used to improve soil structure via the
addition of organic matter. Most compost falls between 2 and 5.

INTERPRETATION: Page three of three
Aglndex (Nutrients/Na+CI)
10 High nutrient ratio Composts with low Aglndex values have high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride
compared to nutrients_ Repeated use of a compost with a low Aglndex (< 2) may result in sodium and/or chloride
acting as the limiting factor compared to nutrients, governing application rates. These composts may be used on well -draining
soils and/or with salt -tolerant plants. Additional nutrients form another source may be needed if the application rate is limited by
sodium or chloride. If the Aglndex is above 10, nutrients optimal for plant growth will be available without concem of sodium and/or
chloride toxicity. Composts with an Aglndex of above 10 are good for increasing nutrient levels for all soils. Most composts score
between 2 and 10. Concentrations of nutrients, sodium, and chloride in the receiving soil should be considered when determining
compost application rates. The Aglndex is a product of feedstock quality. Feedstock from dairy manure, marine waste, industrial
wastes, and halophytic plants are likely to produce a finished compost with a low Aglndex.
Plant Available Nitrogen (Ibslton)
6 Average N Provider Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) is calculated by estimating the release rate of Nitrogen from
the organic fraction of the compost. This estimate is based on information gathered from the BAC test and measured ammonia and
nitrate values. Despite the PAN value of the compost, additional sources of Nitrogen may be needed during he growing season to off-
set the Nitrogen demand of the microbes present in the compost. With ample nutrients these microbes can further breakdown organic
matter in the compost and release bound Nitrogen. Nitrogen demand based on a high C/N ratio is not considered in the PAN calculation
because additional Nitrogen should always be supplemented to the receiving soil when composts with a high C/N ratio are applied.
C/N Ratio
13 Indicates maturity As a guiding principal, a CIN ratio below 14 indicates maturity and above 14 indicates
immaturity, however, there are many exceptions. Large woodchips (>6.3mm), bark, and redwood are slow to breakdown and
therefore can result in a relatively stable product while the CIN ratio value is high. Additionally, some composts with chicken manure
and/or green grass feedstocks can start with a CIN ratio below 15 and are very unstable. A C/N ratio below 10 supplies Nitrogen,
while a ratio above 20 can deplete Nitrogen from the soil. The rate at which Nitrogen will be released or used by the microbes is
indicated by the respiration rate (BAC). If the respiration rate is too high the transfer of Nitrogen will not be controlable.
Soluble Nutrients & Salts (ECS w/w dw - mmhos/cm)
12 High salts This value refers to all soluble ions including nutrients, sodium, chloride and some
soluble organic compounds. The concentration of salts will change due to the release of salts from the organic matter as it degrades,
volatilization of ammonia, decomposition of soluble organics, and conversion of molecular structure. High salts + high Aglndex is
indicative of a compost high in readily available nutrients. The application rate of these composts should be limited by the optimum
nutrient value based on soil analysis of the receiving soil. High Salts + low Aglndex is indicative of a compost low in nutrients with
high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride. Limit the application rate according to the toxicity level of thesodium and/or chloride.
Low salts indicates that the compost can be applied without risking salt toxicity, is likely a good source of organic matter, and that
nutrients will release slowly over time.
Lima Content (Ibs. per ton)
99 High lime content Compost high in lime or carbonates are often those produced from chicken manure (layers)
ash materials, and lime products. These are excellent products to use on a receiving soil where lime has been recommended by
soil analysis to raise the pH. Composts with a high lime content should be closely considered for pH requirements when formulating
potting mixes.
Physical Properties
Percent Ash
55.5 Average ash content Ash is the non-organic fraction of a compost. Most composts contain approximately 50%
ash (dry weight basis). Compost can be high in ash content for many reasons including: excess minerilzation(old compost),
contamination with soil base material during turning, poor quality feedstock, and soil or mineral products added. Finding the source
and reducing high ash content is often the fastest means to increasing nutrient quality of a compost.
Particle Size % > 6.3 MM (0.25")
0.0 Suitable for all uses Large particles may restrict use for potting soils, golf course topdressings, seed -starter
mixes, and where a fine size distribution is required. Composts with large particles can still be used as excellent additions to field
soils, shrub mixes and mulches.
Particle Size Distribution
Each size fraction is measured by weight, volume and bulk density. These results are particularly relevent with decisions to screen
or not, and if screening, which size screen to use. The bulk density indicates if the fraction screened is made of light weight organic
material or heavy mineral material. Removing large mineral material can greatly improve compost quality by increasing nutrient and
concentrations.
Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) calculations:
PAN = (X ' (organic N)) + ((NH4-N) + (NO3-N))
X value = If BAC < 2 then X = 0.1
If BAC =2.1 to 5 then X = 0.2
If BAC =5.1 to 10 then X = 0.3
If BAC > 10 then X = 0.4
Note: If C/N ratio > 15 additional N should be applied.

Respiration Rate
1.3 Low: Good for all uses mg CO2-C/g OM/day
The respiration rate is a measurement of the biodegradation rate of the organic matter in the sample (as received).
The respiration rate is determined by measuring the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture and
temperature conditions.
Biologically Available Carbon
1.3 Low: Good for all uses mg CO2-C/g OM/day
Biologically Available Carbon (BAC) is a measurement of the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture, temperature,
porosity, nutrients, pH and microbial conditions. If both the RR and the BAC test values are close to the same value, the pile is
optimized for composting. If both values are high the compost pile just needs more time. If both values are low the compost has
stabilized and should be moved to curing. BAC test values that are higher than RR indicate that the compost pile has stalled. This
could be due to anaerobic conditions, lack of available nitrogen due to excessive air converting ammonia to the unavailable nitrate
form, lack of nitrogen or other nutrients due to poor choice of feedstock, pH value out of range, or microbes rendered non-active.
Is Your Compost Mature?
AmmoniaN:NitrateN ratio
3.7 immature
Composting to stabilize carbon can occur at such a rapid rate that sometimes phytotoxins remain in
the compost and must be neutralized before using in high concentrations or in high-end uses. This
Ammonia N ppm step is called curing. Typically ammonia is in excess with the break -down of organic materials resulting
85 veay mature in an increase in pH. This combination results in a loss of volatile ammonia (it smells). Once this toxic
Nitrate N ppm ammonia has been reduced and the pH drops, the microbes convert the ammonia to nitrates. A low
23 immature ammonia + high nitrate score is indicative of a mature compost, however there are many exceptions.
pH value For example, a compost with a low pH (<7) will retain ammonia, while a compost with high lime content
8.09 mature can lose ammonia before the organic fraction becomes stable. Composts must first be stable before
curing indicators apply.
Cucumber Bioassay
93.3 Percent Cucumbers are chosen for this test because they are salt tolerant and very sensitive to ammonia
and organic acid toxicity. Therefore, we can germinate seeds in high concentrations of compost to
measure phytotoxic effects without soluble salts being the limiting factor. Values above 80% for both percent emergence and
vigor are indicative of a well -cured compost. Exceptions include very high salts that affect the cucumbers, excessive concentrations
of nitrates and other nutrients that will be in range when formulated to make a growing media. In addition to testing a 1:1 compost:
vermiculite blend, we also test a diluted 1:3 blend to indicate a more sensitive toxicity level.
Is Your Compost Safe Regarding Health?
Fecal Coliform
< 1000 / g dry wt. Fecal coliforms can survive in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions and is common in all initial
compost piles. Most human pathogens occur from fecal matter and all fecal matter is loaded in fecal coliforms. Therefore fecal
coliforms are used as an indicator to determine if the chosen method for pathogen reduction (heat for compost) has met the
requirements of sufficient temperature, time and mixing. If the fecal coliforms are reduced to below 1000 per gram dry wt. it is
assumed all others pathogens are eliminated. Potential problems are that fecal coliform can regrow during the curing phase or
during shipping. This is because the conditions are now more favorable for growth than during the composting process.
Salmonella Bacteria
Less than 3 3 14g dry wt. Salmonella is not only another indicator organism but also a toxic microbe. It has been used in the
case of biosolids industry to determine adequate pathogen reduction.
Metals
Pass The ten heavy metals listed in the EPA 503 regulations are chosen to determine if compost
can be applied to ag land and handled without toxic effects. Most high concentrations of heavy metals are derived from
woodwaste feedstock such as chrome -arsenic treated or lead painted demolition wood. Biosolids are rarely a problem.
Does Your Compost Provide Nutrients or Organic Matter'?
Nutrients (N+P205+K20)
5.2 High nutrient content
This value is the sum of the primary nutrients Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. Reported units are consistent with those
found on fertilizer formulations. A sum greater than 5 is indicative of a compost with high nutrient content, and best used to supply
nutrients to a receiving soil. A sum below 2 indicates low nutrient content, and is best -used to improve soil structure via the
addition of organic matter. Most compost falls between 2 and 5.

INTERPRETATION: Page three of three
Aglndex (Nutrients/Na+CI)
15 High nutrient ratio Composts with low Aglndex values have high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride
compared to nutrients. Repeated use of a compost with a low Aglndex (< 2) may result in sodium and/or chloride
acting as the limiting factor compared to nutrients, goveming application rates. These composts may be used on well -draining
soils and/or with salt -tolerant plants. Additional nutrients form another source may be needed if the application rate is limited by
sodium or chloride. If the Aglndex is above 10, nutrients optimal for plant growth will be available without concern of sodium and/or
chloride toxicity. Composts with an Aglndex of above 10 are good for increasing nutrient levels for all soils_ Most composts score
between 2 and 10. Concentrations of nutrients, sodium, and chloride in the receiving soil should be considered when determining
compost application rates. The Aglndex is a product of feedstock quality. Feedstock from dairy manure, marine waste, industrial
wastes, and halophytic plants are likely to produce a finished compost with a low Aglndex.
Plant Available Nitrogen (lbs/ton)
2 Low N Provider Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) is calculated by estimating the release rate of Nitrogen from
the organic fraction of the compost. This estimate is based on information gathered from the BAC test and measured ammonia and
nitrate values. Despite the PAN value of the compost, additional sources of Nitrogen may be needed during he growing season to off-
set the Nitrogen demand of the microbes present in the compost. With ample nutrients these microbes can further breakdown organic
matter in the compost and release bound Nitrogen. Nitrogen demand based on a high C/N ratio is not considered in the PAN calculation
because additional Nitrogen should always be supplemented to the receiving soil when composts with a high C/N ratio are applied.
CIN Ratio
11 Indicates maturity As a guiding principal, a C/N ratio below 14 indicates maturity and above 14 indicates
immaturity, however, there are many exceptions. Large woodchips (>6.3mm), bark, and redwood are slow to breakdown and
therefore can result in a relatively stable product while the CIN ratio value is high. Additionally, some composts with chicken manure
and/or green grass feedstocks can start with a C/N ratio below 15 and are very unstable. A C/N ratio below 10 supplies Nitrogen,
while a ratio above 20 can deplete Nitrogen from the soil. The rate at which Nitrogen will be released or used by the microbes is
indicated by the respiration rate (BAC). If the respiration rate is too high the transfer of Nitrogen will not be controlable.
Soluble Nutrients & Salts (EC5 w/w dw - mmhos/cm)
9.2 High salts This value refers to all soluble ions including nutrients, sodium, chloride and some
soluble organic compounds. The concentration of salts will change due to the release of salts from the organic matter as it degrades,
volatilization of ammonia, decomposition of soluble organics, and conversion of molecular structure. High salts + high Aglndex is
indicative of a compost high in readily available nutrients. The application rate of these composts should be limited by the optimum
nutrient value based on soil analysis of the receiving soil. High Salts + low Aglndex is indicative of a compost low in nutrients with
high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride. Limit the application rate according to the toxicity level of thesodium and/or chloride.
Low salts indicates that the compost can be applied without risking salt toxicity, is likely a good source of organic matter, and that
nutrients will release slowly over time.
Lime Content (lbs. per ton)
60 High lime content Compost high in lime or carbonates are often those produced from chicken manure (layers)
ash materials, and lime products. These are excellent products to use on a receiving soil where lime has been recommended by
soil analysis to raise the pH. Composts with a high lime content should be closely considered for pH requirements when formulating
potting mixes.
Physical Properties
Percent Ash
53.8 Average ash content Ash is the non-organic fraction of a compost. Most composts contain approximately 50%
ash (dry weight basis). Compost can be high in ash content for many reasons including: excess minerilzation(old compost),
contamination with soil base material during turning, poor quality feedstock, and soil or mineral products added. Finding the source
and reducing high ash content is often the fastest means to increasing nutrient quality of a compost.
Particle Size % > 6.3 MM (0.25")
2.7 May restrict use Large particles may restrict use for potting soils, golf course topdressings, seed -starter
mixes, and where a fine size distribution is required. Composts with large particles can still be used as excellent additions to field
soils, shrub mixes and mulches.
Particle Size Distribution
Each size fraction is measured by weight, volume and bulk density. These results are particularly relevent with decisions to screen
or not, and if screening, which size screen to use. The bulk density indicates if the fraction screened is made of light weight organic
material or heavy mineral material. Removing large mineral material can greatly improve compost quality by increasing nutrient and
organic concenrranons.

Respiration Rate
3.6 Low: Good for all uses mg CO2-C/g OM/day
The respiration rate is a measurement of the biodegradation rate of the organic matter in the sample (as received).
The respiration rate is determined by measuring the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture and
temperature conditions.
Biologically Available Carbon
4 Low: Good for all uses mg CO2-C/g OM/day
Biologically Available Carbon (BAC) is a measurement of the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture, temperature,
porosity, nutrients, pH and microbial conditions. If both the RR and the BAC test values are close to the same value, the pile is
optimized for composting. If both values are high the compost pile just needs more time. If both values are low the compost has
stabilized and should be moved to curing. BAC test values that are higher than RR indicate that the compost pile has stalled. This
could be due to anaerobic conditions, lack of available nitrogen due to excessive air converting ammonia to the unavailable nitrate
form, lack of nitrogen or other nutrients due to poor choice of feedstock, pH value out of range, or microbes rendered non-active.
Is Your Compost Mature?
AmmoniaN:NitrateN ratio
94 immature
Composting to stabilize carbon can occur at such a rapid rate that sometimes phytotoxins remain in
the compost and must be neutralized before using in high concentrations or in high-end uses. This
Ammonia N ppm step is called curing. Typically ammonia is in excess with the break -down of organic materials resulting
1600 immature in an increase in pH. This combination results in a loss of volatile ammonia (it smells). Once this toxic
Nitrate N ppm ammonia has been reduced and the pH drops, the microbes convert the ammonia to nitrates. A low
17 immature ammonia + high nitrate score is indicative of a mature compost, however there are many exceptions.
pH value For example, a compost with a low pH (<7) will retain ammonia, while a compost with high lime content
7.75 mature can lose ammonia before the organic fraction becomes stable. Composts must first be stable before
curing indicators apply.
Cucumber Bioassay
100.0 Percent Cucumbers are chosen for this test because they are salt tolerant and very sensitive to ammonia
and organic acid toxicity. Therefore, we can germinate seeds in high concentrations of compost to
measure phytotoxic effects without soluble salts being the limiting factor. Values above 80% for both percent emergence and
vigor are indicative of a well -cured compost. Exceptions include very high salts that affect the cucumbers, excessive concentrations
of nitrates and other nutrients that will be in range when formulated to make a growing media. In addition to testing a 1:1 compost:
vermiculite blend, we also test a diluted 1:4 blend to indicate a more sensitive toxicity level.
Is Your Compost Safe Regarding Health?
Fecal Coliform
> 1000 / g dry wt. Fecal coliforms can survive in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions and is common in all initial
compost piles. Most human pathogens occur from fecal matter and all fecal matter is loaded in fecal coliforms. Therefore fecal
coliforms are used as an indicator to determine if the chosen method for pathogen reduction (heat for compost) has met the
requirements of sufficient temperature, time and mixing. If the fecal coliforms are reduced to below 1000 per gram dry wt. it is
assumed all others pathogens are eliminated. Potential problems are that fecal coliform can regrow during the curing phase or
during shipping. This is because the conditions are now more favorable for growth than during the composting process.
Salmonella Bacteria
Less than 3 3 149 dry wt. Salmonella is not only another indicator organism but also a toxic microbe. It has been used in the
case of biosolids industry to determine adequate pathogen reduction.
Metals
Pass The ten heavy metals listed in the EPA 503 regulations are chosen to determine if compost
can be applied to ag land and handled without toxic effects. Most high concentrations of heavy metals are derived from
woodwaste feedstock such as chrome -arsenic treated or lead painted demolition wood. Biosolids are rarely a problem.
Does Your Compost Provide Nutrients or Organic Matter?
Nutrients (N+P205+K20)
5.3 High nutrient content
This value is the sum of the primary nutrients Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. Reported units are consistent with those
found on fertilizer formulations. A sum greater than 5 is indicative of a compost with high nutrient content, and best used to supply
nutrients to a receiving soil. A sum below 2 indicates low nutrient content, and is best -used to improve soil structure via the
addition of organic matter. Most compost falls between 2 and 5.

INTERPRETATION: Page three of three
Aglndex (Nutrients/Na+CI)
10 High nutrient ratio Composts with low Aglndex values have high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride
compared to nutrients. Repeated use of a compost with a low Aglndex (< 2) may result in sodium and/or chloride
acting as the limiting factor compared to nutrients, governing application rates. These composts may be used on well -draining
soils and/or with salt -tolerant plants. Additional nutrients form another source may be needed if the application rate is limited by
sodium or chloride. If the Aglndex is above 10, nutrients optimal for plant growth will be available without concern of sodium and/or
chloride toxicity. Composts with an Aglndex of above 10 are good for increasing nutrient levels for all soils. Most composts score
between 2 and 10. Concentrations of nutrients, sodium, and chloride in the receiving soil should be considered when determining
compost application rates. The Aglndex is a product of feedstock quality. Feedstock from dairy manure, marine waste, industrial
wastes, and halophytic plants are likely to produce a finished compost with a low Ag Index.
Plant Available Nitrogen (lbs/ton)
6 Average N Provider Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) is calculated by estimating the release rate of Nitrogen from
the organic fraction of the compost. This estimate is based on information gathered from the BAC test and measured ammonia and
nitrate values. Despite the PAN value of the compost, additional sources of Nitrogen may be needed during he growing season to off-
set the Nitrogen demand of the microbes present in the compost. With ample nutrients these microbes can further breakdown organic
matter in the compost and release bound Nitrogen. Nitrogen demand based on a high CIN ratio is not considered in the PAN calculation
because additional Nitrogen should always be supplemented to the receiving soil when composts with a high CIN ratio are applied.
CIN Ratio
13 Indicates maturity As a guiding principal, a CIN ratio below 14 indicates maturity and above 14 indicates
immaturity, however, there are many exceptions. Large woodchips (>6.3mm), bark, and redwood are slow to breakdown and
therefore can result in a relatively stable product while the C/N ratio value is high. Additionally, some composts with chicken manure
and/or green grass feedstocks can start with a C/N ratio below 15 and are very unstable. A C/N ratio below 10 supplies Nitrogen,
while a ratio above 20 can deplete Nitrogen from the soil. The rate at which Nitrogen will be released or used by the microbes is
indicated by the respiration rate (BAC). If the respiration rate is too high the transfer of Nitrogen will not be controlable.
Soluble Nutrients & Salts (EC5 w/w dw - mmhos/cm)
9.2 High salts This value refers to all soluble ions including nutrients, sodium, chloride and some
soluble organic compounds. The concentration of salts will change due to the release of salts from the organic matter as it degrades,
volatilization of ammonia, decomposition of soluble organics, and conversion of molecular structure. High salts + high Aglndex is
indicative of a compost high in readily available nutrients. The application rate of these composts should be limited by the optimum
nutrient value based on soil analysis of the receiving soil. High Salts + low Aglndex is indicative of a compost low in nutrients with
high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride. Limit the application rate according to the toxicity level of thesodium and/or chloride.
Low salts indicates that the compost can be applied without risking salt toxicity, is likely a good source of organic matter, and that
nutrients will release slowly over time.
Lime Content (lbs. per ton)
21 High lime content Compost high in lime or carbonates are often those produced from chicken manure (layers)
ash materials, and lime products. These are excellent products to use on a receiving soil where lime has been recommended by
soil analysis to raise the pH. Composts with a high lime content should be closely considered for pH requirements when formulating
potting mixes.
Physical Properties
Percent Ash
48.5 Average ash content Ash is the non-organic fraction of a compost. Most composts contain approximately 50%
ash (dry weight basis). Compost can be high in ash content for many reasons including: excess minerilzation(old compost),
contamination with soil base material during turning, poor quality feedstock, and soil or mineral products added. Finding the source
and reducing high ash content is often the fastest means to increasing nutrient quality of a compost.
Particle Size % > 6.3 MM (0.25")
1.0 Suitable for all uses Large particles may restrict use for potting soils, golf course topdressings, seed -starter
mixes, and where a fine size distribution is required. Composts with large partides can still be used as excellent additions to field
soils, shrub mixes and mulches.
Particle Size Distribution
Each size fraction is measured by weight, volume and bulk density. These results are particularly relevent with decisions to screen
or not, and if screening, which size screen to use. The bulk density indicates if the fraction screened is made of light weight organic
material or heavy mineral material. Removing large mineral material can greatly improve compost quality by increasing nutrient and
organic concentrations.

Biologically Available Carbon (BAC) is a measurement of the rate at which CO2 is released under optimized moisture, temperature,
porosity, nutrients, pH and microbial conditions. If both the RR and the BAC test values are close to the same value, the pile is
optimized for composting. If both values are high the compost pile just needs more time. If both values are low the compost has
stabilized and should be moved to curing. BAC test values that are higher than RR indicate that the compost pile has stalled. This
could be due to anaerobic conditions, lack of available nitrogen due to excessive air converting ammonia to the unavailable nitrate
form, lack of nitrogen or other nutrients due to poor choice of feedstock, pH value out of range, or microbes rendered non-active.
Is Your Compost Mature?
AmmoniaN:NitrateN ratio
850 immature
Composting to stabilize carbon can occur at such a rapid rate that sometimes phytotoxins remain in
the compost and must be neutralized before using in high concentrations or in high-end uses. This
Ammonia N ppm step is called curing. Typically ammonia is in excess with the break -down of organic materials resulting
5000 immature in an increase in pH. This combination results in a loss of volatile ammonia (it smells). Once this toxic
Nitrate N ppm ammonia has been reduced and the pH drops, the microbes convert the ammonia to nitrates. A low
5.9 immature ammonia + high nitrate score is indicative of a mature compost, however there are many exceptions.
pH value For example, a compost with a low pH (<7) will retain ammonia, while a compost with high lime content
7.90 mature can lose ammonia before the organic fraction becomes stable. Composts must first be stable before
curing indicators apply.
Cucumber Bioassay
93.3 Percent Cucumbers are chosen for this test because they are salt tolerant and very sensitive to ammonia
and organic acid toxicity. Therefore, we can germinate seeds in high concentrations of compost to
measure phytotoxic effects without soluble salts being the limiting factor. Values above 80% for both percent emergence and
vigor are indicative of a well -cured compost. Exceptions include very high salts that affect the cucumbers, excessive concentrations
of nitrates and other nutrients that will be in range when formulated to make a growing media. In addition to testing a 1:1 compost:
vermiculite blend, we also test a diluted 1:4 blend to indicate a more sensitive toxicity level.
Is Your Compost Safe Regarding Health?
Fecal Coliform
< 1000 / g dry wt. Fecal coliforms can survive in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions and is common in all initial
compost piles. Most human pathogens occur from feral matter and all fecal matter is loaded in fecal coliforms. Therefore fecal
coliforms are used as an indicator to determine if the chosen method for pathogen reduction (heat for compost) has met the
requirements of sufficient temperature, time and mixing. If the fecal coliforms are reduced to below 1000 per gram dry wt. it is
assumed all others pathogens are eliminated. Potential problems are that fecal coliform can regrow during the curing phase or
during shipping. This is because the conditions are now more favorable for growth than during the composting process.
Salmonella Bacteria
Less than 3 314g dry wt. Salmonella is not only another indicator organism but also a toxic microbe. It has been used in the
case of biosolids industry to determine adequate pathogen reduction.
Metals
Pass The ten heavy metals listed in the EPA 503 regulations are chosen to determine if compost
can be applied to ag land and handled without toxic effects. Most high concentrations of heavy metals are derived from
woodwaste feedstock such as chrome -arsenic treated or lead painted demolition wood. Biosolids are rarely a problem.
Does Your Compost Provide Nutrients or Organic Matter?
Nutrients (N+P205+K20)
6.7 High nutrient content
This value is the sum of the primary nutrients Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. Reported units are consistent with those
found on fertilizer formulations. A sum greater than 5 is indicative of a compost with high nutrient content, and best used to supply
nutrients to a receiving soil. A sum below 2 indicates low nutrient content, and is best -used to improve soil structure via the
addition of organic matter. Most compost falls between 2 and 5.

INTERPRETATION: Page three of three
Aglndex (Nutrients/Na+CI)
11 High nutrient ratio Composts with low Aglndex values have high concentrations of sodium andlor chloride
compared to nutrients. Repeated use of a compost with a low Aglndex (< 2) may result in sodium and/or chloride
acting as the limiting factor compared to nutrients, governing application rates. These composts may be used on well -draining
soils and/or with salt -tolerant plants. Additional nutrients form another source may be needed if the application rate is limited by
sodium or chloride. If the Aglndex is above 10, nutrients optimal for plant growth will be available without concern of sodium and/or
chloride toxicity. Composts with an Aglndex of above 10 are good for increasing nutrient levels for all soils. Most composts score
between 2 and 10. Concentrations of nutrients, sodium, and chloride in the receiving soil should be considered when determining
compost application rates. The Aglndex is a product of feedstock quality. Feedstock from dairy manure, marine waste, industrial
wastes, and halophytic plants are likely to produce a finished compost with a low Aglndex.
Plant Available Nitrogen (lbs/ton)
12 Average N Provider Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) is calculated by estimating the release rate of Nitrogen from
the organic fraction of the compost. This estimate is based on information gathered from the BAC test and measured ammonia and
nitrate values. Despite the PAN value of the compost, additional sources of Nitrogen may be needed during he growing season to off-
set the Nitrogen demand of the microbes present in the compost. With ample nutrients these microbes can further breakdown organic
matter in the compost and release bound Nitrogen. Nitrogen demand based on a high C/N ratio is not considered in the PAN calculation
because additional Nitrogen should always be supplemented to the receiving soil when composts with a high CIN ratio are applied.
C/N Ratio
8.9 Indicates maturity As a guiding principal, a CIN ratio below 14 indicates maturity and above 14 indicates
immaturity, however, there are many exceptions. Large woodchips (>6.3mm), bark, and redwood are slow to breakdown and
therefore can result in a relatively stable product while the C/N ratio value is high. Additionally, some composts with chicken manure
and/or green grass feedstocks can start with a CIN ratio below 15 and are very unstable. A C/N ratio below 10 supplies Nitrogen,
while a ratio above 20 can deplete Nitrogen from the soil. The rate at which Nitrogen will be released or used by the microbes is
indicated by the respiration rate (BAC). If the respiration rate is too high the transfer of Nitrogen will not be controlable.
Soluble Nutrients & Salts (EC5 wlw dw - mmhos/cm)
18 High salts This value refers to all soluble ions including nutrients, sodium, chloride and some
soluble organic compounds. The concentration of salts will change due to the release of salts from the organic matter as it degrades,
volatilization of ammonia, decomposition of soluble organics, and conversion of molecular structure. High salts + high Aglndex is
indicative of a compost high in readily available nutrients. The application rate of these composts should be limited by the optimum
nutrient value based on soil analysis of the receiving soil. High Salts + low Aglndex is indicative of a compost low in nutrients with
high concentrations of sodium and/or chloride. Limit the application rate according to the toxicity level of thesodium and/or chloride.
Low salts indicates that the compost can be applied without risking salt toxicity, is likely a good source of organic matter, and that
nutrients will release slowly over time.
Lime Content (lbs. per ton)
71 High lime content Compost high in lime or carbonates are often those produced from chicken manure (layers)
ash materials, and lime products. These are excellent products to use on a receiving soil where lime has been recommended by
soil analysis to raise the pH. Composts with a high lime content should be closely considered for pH requirements when formulating
potting mixes.
Physical Properties
Percent Ash
52.9 Average ash content Ash is the non-organic fraction of a compost. Most composts contain approximately 50%
ash (dry weight basis). Compost can be high in ash content for many reasons including: excess minerilzation(old compost),
contamination with soil base material during turning, poor quality feedstock, and soil or mineral products added. Finding the source
and reducing high ash content is often the fastest means to increasing nutrient quality of a compost.
Particle Size % > 6.3 MM (0.25")
0.0 Suitable for all uses Large particles may restrict use for potting soils, golf course topdressings, seed -starter
mixes, and where a fine size distribution is required. Composts with large particles can still be used as excellent additions to field
soils, shrub mixes and mulches.
Particle Size Distribution
Each size fraction is measured by weight, volume and bulk density. These results are particularly relevent with decisions to screen
or not, and if screening, which size screen to use. The bulk density indicates if the fraction screened is made of light weight organic
material or heavy mineral material. Removing large mineral material can greatly improve compost quality by increasing nutrient and
concentrations.

Troy;
I have printed the attached document and placed it in the permit modification document. -Based on receipt of this last
document and the previous email from Steve Cockman addressing the Town of Maxton and providing a corrected grand
total page for the 2014 annual report; I don't have any other question or need further information for processing the
requested permit modification for revising the Attachment A.

Troy;
Attached is the last email correspondence between myself and McGill. The Maxton facility that I thought needed to be
added is already on the Attachment "A" and was an oversight on my part which I addressed in my email dated 8 April
1
2015. I haven't received any information concerning the Brunswick Regional W&S H2G0 facility that needs to be added
under the current permit modification. I have copied Steve Cockman with this email for update on submittal of the
necessary information to finalize the requested modification.
Steve;
Once you have the Brunswick facility information needed, please forward a copy to Troy Doby (central office permitting)
and one copy to me in the Fayetteville Regional Office.
Thanks
