r <br /> PROCESSING OR WASTEWATER CONTROLS <br /> Since the composting facility is completely covered,on a raised foundation it is highly <br /> unlikely that any runoff will occur or leave the building. Any moisture from the poultry <br /> manure will be absorbed by the wood shavings, rice hulls,and/or grape pumice. <br /> MATERIAL PROCESSING,HANDELING,AND STORAGE PRACTICES <br /> Processing <br /> Feedstock: The poultry manure will be processed directly after it is removed from the <br /> Honen's daily. If there is a problem with the composting machine, it may sit for a few <br /> hours prior to processing. The wood shavings, rice hulls,and/or grape pumice are stored <br /> in a clean, dry,covered area until ready for mixing with the poultry manure to produce <br /> compost. Depending on how big the delivered load of wood shaving, rice hulls, and/or <br /> grape pumice is it could last for a week or two before more are delivered again. <br /> Processed Material: From the time of mixing the poultry manure with the wood shavings, <br /> rice hulls,and/or grape pumice to a completed compost product is 28 days. The <br /> completed compost is piled and a sample is collected and sent to a laboratory for analysis. <br /> It takes approximately 1 week to get the results back. Once the results are received the <br /> compost can be bagged or sold bulk and removed from premises. <br /> PILE GEOMETRY <br /> Feedstock: The dimensions of the compost pits are 3'X20'X250'. Three feet high,20 feet <br /> wide,and 250 feet long. At the present time there are two pits in operation. The pile <br /> moves 7 feet per day. <br /> Processed Material: The completed compost will be piled approximately 8'X20'X250'(8 <br /> feet high,20 feet wide,and 250 feet long) until bagged or removed from the site. <br /> 11 <br />
