and now the odor travels. If wind is over 25mph the compost will be watered down to suppress dust and odors. Rain averages 2-3 inches in the winter and early spring totals and 15 inches per year. Management during dry months includes monitoring the moisture of the piles and ensuring pooling is patrolled in the dry months. III. Complaint Response Protocol Odor complaints will be referred to LEA (Local Enforcement Agencies) at the San Joaquin Environmental health department. If the operator receives a complaint it will be logged with a date, time, and response to the LEA. The operator and LEA, if available, will verify the complaint and the operator will assess the complaint by determining the source of the odor and how it will be fixed within the next 24 hours. IV. Operating Procedures (and Design Concerns) to Minimize Odors The facility operates as a windrow composting facility. The majority of the material will be utilized from the livestock on-site. The manure will be stockpiled and spread in the spring and fall. The composting process will help to minimize the odors and carbon footprint for the manure. Green waste will be reduced from the process, which should minimize the odors. Equipment used on the facility will be provided by the dairy farm operator consisting of 2 loaders and a water truck. In the case of equipment breakdown, if the farmer does not replace or repair, the owner will rent a backup from Volvo. A. Aeration A primary source of aeration will be a loader that turns the piles to maintain a temperature of between 131 and 170 degrees celsius to achieve pathogen reduction requirements. After the pathogen reduction requirements are met, piles temperature will be checked daily and accordingly to maximize moisture and temperature. It will be turned 5 items in the 15 days to meet that temperature B. Moisture Content of Materials and Moisture Management The types of manure range in moisture. If green waste is received with a high moisture content, a dry manure content will be added to achieve an optimal moisture content percentage. If manure's moisture content is high, the green waste with low moisture content will be added C. Feedstock Characteristi cs and Quality The primary feedstocks will be green waste and manure. The manure that will be used in the composti ng process is free of debris, incoming green waste loads will be checked for debris, put into a dumpster or hauled off site before putting into windrows.
