Pathogen & Vector Attraction Reduction: All fecal coliform densities reported were below 1,000 MPN/g. Pathogen reduction was met using PFRP Heat Drying, and vector attraction was met through drying of unstabilized residuals. Non-hazardous Waste Characterization: All results appeared to be in compliance with federal and state permit requirements. Nutrients, Metals & Pollutants: All data appeared to reported as required by permit and in compliance with the applicable pollutant monthly and ceiling concentration limits.
