Compost operations will be located in the southern portion of the site directly <br /> adjacent to the RRF and away from sensitive receptors. The closest receptors will be <br /> site personnel who operate and manage the facility during operating hours and <br /> monitor compliance with applicable regulations. <br /> 1.1.2 Method for Assessing Odor Impacts <br /> Site personnel continuously monitor operations for on-site odors and potential <br /> release of objectionable odors. Odors are controlled by processing the wastes and <br /> feedstock properly and the removal of residual waste soon as possible. Specific <br /> activities which reduce/prevent odors include the following: <br /> • Avoiding creating large stockpiles of incoming material <br /> • Producing a homogeneous material with the proper moisture content <br /> • Providing adequate aeration and agitation <br /> • Incorporating careful control of processing temperatures to maintain the rate <br /> of decomposition <br /> • Maintaining a carbon-to-nitrogen ratio above 25:1 in initial mixes of high <br /> nitrogen materials <br /> • Placing a layer of cured compost over raw compost materials to act as an odor <br /> trap and serve as insulation <br /> • Using an organic odor neutralizer <br /> If questionable or objectionable on-site odors are detected by site personnel, <br /> operations personnel will implement the following protocol: <br /> 1. Investigate and determine the likely source of the odor. <br /> 2. Determine if onsite management practices could remedy the problem and <br /> immediately take steps to reduce the odor-generating capacity of on-site <br /> material. (Possible on-site odor sources and management techniques for this <br /> site are shown in Table 1.) <br /> 3. Determine whether or not the odor is traveling beyond the site by patrolling the <br /> site perimeter and noting existing wind patterns. <br /> Forward Compost Facility-OIMP 3 SWT Engineering <br /> z:\projects\allied waste\forward\resource recovery facility\permitting services\2009 resi\oimp\oimp final 071309.doc; <br /> 7/20/2009 <br />
