The stabilized material may also be blended <br /> and processed to produce final products. <br /> Stockpiling of finished compost material on-site may be required for further curing and to <br /> accommodate fluxuations in the market due to seasonal weather conditions and agricultural <br /> needs. Curing provides a more mature product for applications requiring a less active material. <br /> Along with the procedures listed to control odors, additional steps eliminate: stale grass loads, <br /> ponding water around composting areas, covering of processed and unprocessed materials. <br /> Personnel Training <br /> All site personnel will be given specific training on the GIMP protocol by the site manager. <br /> Additionally, there will be a site meeting each month where the site manager will review the <br /> process and go over any issues that have arisen at the site. <br /> Contingencies <br /> The Valley Organics composting facility operates under a comprehensive fire protection plan <br /> reviewed by the Lathrop-Manteca fire department.
