There are doors on both sides. A misting <br />system will be installed at the doorway when the door is open to reduce dust <br />particles from escaping when the compost machine is in operation. <br />DRAINAGE CONTROLS <br />Drainage is a minor concern at this particular composting site. The site is <br />enclosed with a roof and walls and sits on a cement slab. The cement slab is <br />elevated approximately 3 feet above ground. Any excessive moisture due to <br />rain or runoff entering the compost site is extremely unlikely. <br />PAD MAINTENANCE <br />The surface of the composting facility is a cement slab. The slab is flat and <br />it does not slope in any direction. As the process of composting evolves the <br />compost is churned and moved completely and thoroughly at the required <br />intervals every day. This reduces or prevents any uneven composting or <br />probable odor causing sources. If any compost is left it is cleaned up <br />manually in order to prevent an accumulation of residues. The pad is <br />routinely inspected for cracks in order to prevent, minimize, and eradicate <br />any probable odor creating factors. <br />PROCESSING OR WASTEWATER CONTROLS <br />Since the composting facility is completely covered and on a raised <br />foundation it is highly unlikely that any runoff will occur or leave the <br />building. Any moisture from the poultry manure will be absorbed by the <br />wood shavings. <br />
