Yancey County
Dear Mr. Langner;
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
Fred Walker and Laura Herbert of the Asheville Regional Office of the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land
Resources (DEMLR), Land Quality Section, met with you to discuss permitting requirements for the NCG240000
permit for composting operations at the subject facility on October 15, 2014. Your assistance and cooperation
were greatly appreciated.
This facility is located on Double Island Road (Latitude 35.93522, Longitude-82.214942), near Burnsville, Yancey
County, North Carolina. While this site is located near an unnamed tributary to the South Toe River, it was
determined that there is no point source discharge of stormwater related to industrial activity or process
wastewater from the site. Coverage under NPDES General Permit NCG240000 is only applicable to facilities with
point source stormwater or process wastewater discharges. Therefore, the Division concurs that coverage under
NCG240000 is not required for the MAYTime Composting Systems facility -
You must notify this office immediately if industrial practices change and point source discharge of either
stormwater related to industrial activity or process wastewater is established. This office reserves the right to
withdraw this decision and require coverage under NCG240060 if such conditions occur.
We appreciate your efforts to comply with North Carolina permitting regulations and the proactive steps taken to
identify and eliminate any potential sources of pollution. No; additional response to this letter is required at this
time. Should you have any questions regarding the NCG240000 permit or this letter, please do not hesitate to
contact Mr. Fred Walker or me at [phone]. 1

Laura C. Herbert, P.E.

Laura,
Sorry if I seemed impatient - I didn't understand that a site visit was actually in the works, and I was getting pressure from
other places to get this done.
The week of October 6 works fine for me, except for Friday that week. How about Wednesday the 8th?

Mark,
Thank you for your time today on the phone. As we discussed, you have a composting site and are pursuing a
stormwater permit for this site (have finished the demo period). Below is our website that will provide additional
information for the "no exposure" process (including an application that you can complete and submit if you determine
that your facility can qualify for "no exposure."). As we discussed, to qualify for no exposure, all industrial materials and
activities must be protected by a storm resistant shelter to prevent exposure to rain, snow, snowmelt, and/or
runoff. This includes material/feedstock/raw material handling. If you are approved for "no exposure" status (based on
review of your application and facility via inspection), you are required to certify annually.
http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/Ir/npdes-stormwater#tab-3
Note that if you do not have any stormwater leaving your site, you may not be required to have a stormwater permit at
all. Again, an inspection from our office is necessary for us to make this determination. This is a different situation thar
the "no exposure" situation. As we discussed, you indicated that you have a completely closed -loop leachate system
with no release to the environment.
For additional information on the stormwater requirements for composting facilities, see the information under the
General Permit NC240000 on the above website.
Let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.
Regards,
Laura

ADDITONAL COMMENTS
1. The Demonstration Project is for a Small Type 3 composting facility to demonstrate the feasibility of producing
compost from animal manures, sawdust and woodchips, yard waste, agricultural waste, and pre- and post -
consumer food waste. Compost is produced in aerated bins and by vermiculture. On March 4, 2013, an
extension was granted for the continued operations of the Demonstration Project to February 21, 2014. The
original conditions of approval remain in effect.
2. Primary composting of approved feedstocks is conducted in aerated bins to produce a food source for
vermiculture. The secondary compost is produced by vermicomposting; worm castings are the final product of
the composting operations.
3. As of the date of the inspection the first batch of vermicompost had not been produced. Testing of the first batch
of vermicompost is required to include metals, pathogens, and manmade inert materials prior to distribution.
Please contact Tony Gallagher, Composting and Land Application Branch Supervisor, at 919-707-8280 or by
email at tony_y,allaghera,ncdenr, ov for prior approval to distribute any compost from the primary composting
process (see item #8 of the original approval letter dated February 21, 2012).
4. The three covered aerated bins were inspected. Bins 91 and #2 were in process; Bin #3 contained finished
compost that was ready to for the vermiculture process. Manmade inerts were not observed.
S. Temperature records are maintained for the primary composting process, however are not required at this time
as there is not distribution.
6. Composting at the site was limited to those materials specified in the Demonstration Project Application. An
average of 400 pounds per week of food waste had been accepted at the facility during the past quarter.
7. The concrete pad in front of the bins was extended to control any run-on and run-off in that area.
8. The covered receiving and mixing area had one pile of feedstocks and a pile of bulking materials stockpiled to
incorporate into the bins.
9. There was no surface water present at the operational, compost curing, and storage areas. Drainage at the site
appeared to be well controlled.
10. There was no evidence of erosion or movement of silt or contaminants from the site.
11. Odors were effectively controlled. There was a faint odor of coffee grounds detected immediately adjacent to
the mixing area. No other odors were detected in the structures or at the site.
12. Vectors were effectively controlled. Rodent traps were set around the facility and in the vermiculture building.
Flies and other vectors were not observed.
13. There was no leachate observed at the facility. Leachate appeared to be effectively controlled.
14. The access road was well maintained and the facility appeared to be well operated.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.

APPLICATION FOR PILOT 1 DEMO PERMIT
MAYTime Composting Systems, Inc. is pleased to apply for a pilot / demo permit for a small-
scale, type 3 composting facility to be located in Yancey County, North Carolina.
The facility will employ a two -stage composting process. Primary composting will be done in
aerated bays (closed vessels). Compost will then be fed to vermiculture and vermicomposting
bins (continuous -flow reactor systems).
The facility will handle approximately 400 to 500 yards of raw material per year — consisting of
animal manures, sawdust and wood chips, yard waste, agricultural waste (such as cornstalk
stubble), and pre- and post -consumer food waste.
The purposes of the Pilot program are: 1) to demonstrate the economic viability of the operation,
2) to determine optimal mixes of available feedstocks, and 3) to test whether indoor
vermicomposting of pre -composted material qualifies for alternate setbacks.
Vermicompost, worms, and worm castings will be sold in bulk. Vermicompost will also be
mixed with finished compost purchased from othcr regional composting facilities for bulk sale.
look forward to working with you over the course of this pilot project.

Purpose:
1) To demonstrate the economic viability of small-scale composting and
vermicomposting, combined with a "Community Composting Service" in a rural,
agricultural county with no current commercial sources of bulk compost.
2) To develop and refine optimum mixes of compostable materials based on local
supplies and the methods used.
3) ,ro test whether indoor vermicomposting of previously -composted material qualifies
for alternate setbacks.
Location:
Double Island Road, Burnsville, NC
Aerial photographs of the site may be found at the end of this document.
Directions: From Burnsville, NC: go East on US-19E for approximately 5 miles. Turn
Right on Micaville Loop (toward NC-80). Go 3/10 mile, and turn left on Double Island
Rd. Go 2.5 miles. Property is on the left.
Proposed Ingredients:
Pre- and post -consumer food waste (approximately 50 cubic yards per year)
Horse and cattle manure (1 50 yards)
Sawdust and wood chips (100 yards)
Agricultural waste such as cornstalk stubble (100 yards)
Yard Waste including leaves and chipped brush (50 yards)
Shredded paper and cardboard
Clay and rock dust, plus other amendments such as lime to control PH of
vermicomposting beds.
Testing:
Primary materials to be composted will be tested by NCDA for C:N ratio, nutrients, and
heavy metals. Initial batches of finished material will also be tested. Test results from
manure sources and food waste collection are included with this application. MAYTime
is in process of developing other sources for carbon and bulking agents that will be tested
when possible.
Schedule:
12 months, beginning March 1, 2012

Methodology:
All materials will be composted in a two -stage process. The first (thermophilic) stage will
take place in closed, aerated bays under roof or in a metal building. These bays are
designed by 02Compost of Snohomish WA, and are EPA approved for PFRP. Materials
will be mixed and composted for 15-21 days in a series of three bays, being turned twice
(every five to seven days). The aerated bays will be 8'x 8', and six feet deep.
Construction material will be concrete block and wood timbers. Aeration will be
provided by blowers.
After initial thermophilic composting, materials will be fed gradually to a system of
"continuous flow reactor system" vermicomposting bins, housed in a metal building.
Cycle time for materials in vermicomposting is estimated to be four to six months from
initial feeding to harvest.
Blending Methods:
Initially, materials will be mixed with a front loader in concrete block mixing bays.
MAYTime intends to purchase an auger -style mixer, such as a used dairy feed mixer, that
would mix all feedstocks and dispense it into the first composting bay.
Monitoring:
Temperatures will be recorded daily, at least five times weekly, using a Reotemp
compost thermometer. Moisture content will be estimated manually at the same time. All
temperatures and moisture estimates will be logged.
Leachate:
The primary method of controlling leachate is that all material receiving, storage, mixing,
and composting areas will be on concrete pads, under roof to prevent incursion by
rainwater. Storage bays will be sloped and sunk into the floor in such a way that any
leachate from the materials themselves will be contained in the storage bay.
The design for the aerated bay system includes piping to channel any leachate to a
collection box. In this case, the collection box will be one of the feedstock storage or
mixing bays. The composting bays will be sited a foot or so higher than the incoming
storage bays, and any leachate will be fed through PVC pipes by gravity back into one of
the incoming material bays. Any such leachate will then be mixed in with the next batch
of materials prepared for thermophilic composting.
MAYTime's owner has operated a similar 02-designed system, and Found that
significant leachate only occurred when material already in the bays was over -watered in
an attempt to adjust moisture levels in a pile after the pile was already built (operator
error). Careful monitoring and adjustment of moisture levels of the materials being mixed
should prevent any significant leaching of moisture from the compost batch.
Vcrmicornposting will take place in a fully -enclosed building, so the only likely cause of
leachate would be over -watering (operator error). Vermicomposting bins will have plastic
trays beneath to capture any potential leachate. Any leachate that accumulates in these
trays will be emptied into a container and returned to one of the incoming material bays
by the operator.

On -Site Storage:
Most of the feedstocks MAYTime will use will be received in controlled quantities, so no
materials other than wood waste should be stored for longer than two weeks.
Post -consumer food waste will be collected in sealed five -gallon containers, and stored in
a refrigerated, insulated shed. Projected material flow and composting times are designed
so that such material will stay in storage no longer than one week before being mixed
with other materials and placed in a thermophilic composting bay. Maximum storage
time would be two weeks. I
Manures and other materials will be stored in concrete bays under roof or inside metal
buildings.
Testing:
The initial batch of compost will be tested with an NCDA&CS waste analysis, fecal
coliform test, and analysis for foreign matter.
Record Keeping:
Full records of each batch will be kept on log sheets, and entered into a computer. This
will include materials, proportions, temperatures, estimated moisture content, times in
bins, dates of turnings, and dates material has been loaded into vermicomposting bins.
Product Use:
Final products will be sold directly to consumers, small farmers, landscapers, and other
small businesses in the county. Some vermicompost will be blended with compost
trucked in From other permitted facilities, for bulk sale to consumers. Final products will
also be blended with sand and clay to produce "topsoil' mixes for sale to landscapers and
consumers. Some compost each year will be donated to community gardens and other
charitable organizations.
EPA Standards:
Aerated bay systems designed by 02 Compost are EPA approved. All materials will be
composted to meet PFRP standards.
Final Report:
The final report for this Pilot project will include:
1) The estimated amount and type of materials received in tons
2) The estimated amount of compost produced in tons
3) The amount of compost distributed in tons
4) Copies of all test results
5) Monitoring records
6) A narrative describing the projects successes, challenges, and
results.
