This review was conducted to determine whether the facility is operating in compliance with DCAR Permit No. WQ0002127. Fecal Coliform Density: The first and second quarter had fecal exceedances; however, resampling showed both to be compliant and the product was distributed. Several fecal samples exceeded in the fourth quarter so the pile was set aside to be disposed of in the landfill. No product from this pile was distributed. Pathogen and Vector Attraction Reduction times and temperatures appear to have been met based on a review of the facilities data. No significant issues were noted during the inspection. Please review the following comments and recommendations. Treatment Process: Please provide our office an update on the status of acquiring a mix box. The City should continue to assess the composting process for any potential avenues of contamination. Non-hazardous Waste Characterization: As a reminder, non-hazardous waste determination is required once per permit cycle. This should be completed before permit renewal. Additionally, in the future, please verify the correct methodology is being used when determining pH and ignitibility based on the sample matrix and percent moisture.
