Inspection Summary:
The Annual Report Review was conducted by Beverly Price of the Asheville Regional Office.
36.54 Dry Tons of residuals were distributed to one individual in 2016. These residuals were produced in 2015 and analyzed
for TCLP, metals and nutrients in December 2015. The metals permit limits were met. Fecal coliform analyses were done
in February & March 2016. Recipient information was included in the report.
Pathogen Reduction was accomplished via fecal coliform density and pasteurization. Vector Attraction Reduction (VAR)
was accomplished via Alternative #6, alkaline stabilization. Pathogen and VAR appear to have been met according to the
data submitted.
