The density of fecal coliform in the stabilized compost will be less than 1,000 Most <br /> Probable Number (MPN) per gram of total solids on a dry weight basis, or the <br /> density of Salmonella bacteria in the stabilized compost will be less than 3 MPN <br /> per 4 grams of total solids on a dry weight basis. <br /> Active compost containing biosolids waste will be operated at the minimum temperature <br /> and process time requirements presented in Table 2.4. <br /> 3.5.7 Compliance Monitoring Program <br /> Describe the compliance monitoring program established to achieve compliance <br /> with the environmental health standards specified in 14 CCR 17887. The facility <br /> may be exempted from conducting constituent analyses if it produces less than <br /> 5,000 cubic yards of green compost per year and the enforcement agency waives <br /> this requirement under 14 CCR 17893. <br /> [NOTE: This has been modified to reflect regulations in 14 CCR 17867.] <br /> Forward will follow a compliance monitoring program as required by Title 14 CCR <br /> 17867 for biosolids composting facilities and mixed solid waste composting <br /> facilities. <br /> Biosolids. Active compost containing biosolids will be monitored for metals, pathogen <br /> density, and active compost temperature at the frequency listed in Table 2.5. <br /> To meet the requirements of 14 CCR 17868.1, at least one composite sample will be <br /> analyzed for every 5,000 cubic yards of compost produced. <br /> A composite sample will consist of twelve (12) mixed samples of equal volume. <br /> Four samples will be extracted from within the compost pile, each at a different <br /> cross-section as follows: <br /> • One-half the horizontal width of the pile <br /> • One-fourth the horizontal width of the pile <br /> • One-eighth the horizontal width of the pile <br /> At least one temperature reading will be taken daily per either 150 feet of <br /> Windrow, or fraction thereof, or for every 200 cubic-yards of active compost, or <br /> fraction thereof. <br /> Daily temperature measurements shall be measured for pathogen reduction as follows: <br /> • Windrow composting processes and agitated bays shall be monitored 12 <br /> to 24 inches below the pile surface. <br /> • Aerated static pile composting processes shall be monitored 12 to 18 inches <br /> from the point where the insulation cover meets the active compost. <br /> Forward Composting Facility <br /> Z:\PROIECTS\Allied Waste\Forward\Resource Recovery Facility\Permitting Services\2009 RCSI\RCSI Final 031609.doc; <br /> Page 49 <br />
