Composting material — Windrow area <br />Once the material is placed into windrows it will be monitored for temperature and <br />moisture and turned to ensure that it meets pathogen reduction and vector attraction <br />reduction requirements and VOC reduction requirements. Following the time and <br />temperature requirements, the material will remain in the windrows until it is cured. This <br />stage begins a drop in temperature of the composting piles, and initiates the process of <br />creating mature compost. This phase lasts a few months, and enables the compost to <br />stabilize so that it is beneficial to plant growth. After curing, the material cannot begin <br />composting again and thus is free from any potential odor or vector issues. <br />Overs <br />At the end of the curing phase, the material is run through a trammel screen and the <br />material is separated into fines and overs. The fines are sold as finished compost products, <br />and the overs are either incorporated into the compost or sold to a co -generation plant. If <br />the overs are stored on site, they will be also be stable and will remain on site for well <br />under the six month requirement. <br />
