This review was conducted to determine whether the facility processed and monitored all residuals in compliance with Permit No. WQ0010615. The Town distributed approximately 164 dry tons of Class A Compost to customers in 2021 for use as an amendment to pasture/hay fields. Pathogen Reduction (PR): PR is met via fecal coliform density reduction below 1,000 MPN/g and through Alkaline Treatment (Option B). The pH appeared to above 12 for a minimum of 72 consecutive hours and remained above 52°C during that time. %TS is analyzed quarterly and indicates the residuals are air dried to greater 50% before distribution. Fecal samples are collected quarterly. All reported fecal results are less than 1,000 MPN/g. It is recommended multiple fecal samples are collected over a two-week period to obtain a better representation of the residual’s quality. Staff should verify the pH correction factor is being recorded on the bench sheet consistently. Vector Attraction Reduction (VAR): VAR is met via Alkaline Stabilization (Option 6). Staff record the initial pH after the addition of lime and then approximately every 22 to 24 hours. Submitted data indicates the pH is remaining above 12 for over 24 hours. Staff note no additional lime is being added to the piles. Metals, Nutrients & Pollutants of Concern: Values were below the monthly and ceiling concentration limits for Class A products. All metals and nutrient parameters were analyzed per section IV.3 of the permit. PAN & SAR balances are being calculated and maintained. The SAR for 2021 is below 10. Non-Hazardous Waste Characterization: The non-hazardous waste characterization is required annually. TCLP, corrosivity, reactivity and ignitibility appear to be in compliance with regulatory requirements.
