Windrows <br /> will be maintained at a sufficiently high moisture content to minimize the potential for <br /> spontaneous combustion of the composting materials. The windrows will be turned or <br /> sprayed with water at a frequency sufficient to avoid elevated internal temperatures and <br /> attendant risk of auto-combustion. Fire lanes of a minimum of 12 feet in width will be <br /> established to allow emergency access to all operations areas. All feedstock storage <br /> piles will have a minimum of 12-foot buffer around them for easy access. <br /> E. DESCRIPTION OF EMERGENCY PROVISIONS FOR EQUIPMENT <br /> BREAKDOWN OR POWER FAILURE <br /> Minor equipment breakdowns will be managed by on-site mechanics and typically is <br /> corrected within two days. In the event of severe mechanical failure, similar processing <br /> equipment can be rented from nearby facilities.
