• Windrows are approximately 18 feet wide at the base with approximately 8 feet between Windrows for water addition and fire control. • Windrows are approximately 8 feet high. • Composting period is projected to be approximately 4 to 12 weeks depending on product desired. • 40 percent volume reduction after composting. Alternative 5. Enclosed Agitated Bed/Windrow This alternative also utilizes a combination of two separate composting technologies, enclosed agitated beds and compost Windrows using a Windrow turning machine. The combined maximum daily load capacity for both facilities is approximately 930 TPD. The maximum daily load capacity of the enclosed agitated bed compost facility is approximately 230 TPD. This capacity is based on the following assumptions: • Six-day per week operations. • Up to approximately 5 acres for the composting building. • Agitated bed composting with approximately 10-foot-wide bays, each about 230 feet long. • Overall pile height is approximately 5.5 feet. • Composting period is projected to be approximately 4 weeks. • Additional composting may be provided by Windrow composting if needed for product quality desired. • 40 percent volume reduction after composting. The maximum daily load capacity of the Windrow compost facility is approximately 700 TPD. This capacity is based on the following assumptions: • Six-day per week operations. • Up to approximately 8 acres for compost Windrows. • Windrows are approximately 18 feet wide at the base with approximately 8 feet between Windrows for water addition and fire control. • Windrows are approximately 8 feet high. • Composting period is projected to be approximately 4 to 12 weeks depending on product desired.
