Each load of green material is removed from the site within 48 hours <br /> of receipt. The EA may allow a site to keep green material on-site for up <br /> to 7 days if the EA determines that the additional time does not increase <br /> the potential for violations of this Chapter. <br /> (B) If the site fails to meet the definition of green material because it exceeds the <br /> contamination limits in section 17852(a)(21), the site shall be regulated as set forth <br /> in the Transfer/Processing Regulatory requirements (commencing at section 17400). <br /> (C) If the site fails to meet the definition of this section because the green material <br /> remains on-site for a longer period of time than allowed, then the site shall be <br /> regulated as a compostable material handling operation or facility, as set forth in this <br /> Chapter. <br /> (11) "Compostable Material" means any organic material that when accumulated will become <br /> active compost as defined in section 17852(a)(1). <br /> (12) "Compostable Material Handling Operation" or "Facility" means an operation or facility that <br /> processes, transfers, or stores compostable material. Handling of compostable materials results <br /> in controlled biological decomposition. Handling includes composting, screening, chipping and <br /> grinding, and storage activities related to the production of compost, compost feedstocks, and <br /> chipped and ground materials.
