Measuring Organic Waste Recovered (see Section 17409.5.4) <br /> Measure organic waste recovered from each organic waste type after processing (for example paper, <br /> wood, cardboard, food waste) and prior to sending the material to recovery within the 10 consecutive <br /> operating day period. Measurements are conducted for each of the four quarters per calendar year <br /> as follows: <br /> Step 1: Determine Total Weight for Each Organic Material Type. <br /> Y - Determine the total weight of each organic waste type that will be <br /> sent for recovery. <br /> Record the weight of the organic waste type = Al, A2, etc. <br /> Step 2: Collect and Weigh Composite Sample. <br /> • Collect a random selected and representative, composite sample of <br /> at least 200 pounds for each organic waste type. <br /> 1 <br /> j Record the weight of the sample = Bi, B2, etc. <br /> Step 3: Remove Incompatibles and Weigh Organics. <br /> • For each organic waste type composite sample, remove <br /> incompatibles and weigh the organics in the samples. <br /> Incompatible material is human-made inert materials and organic <br /> wastes that the receiving end user, facility, operation, or activity is <br /> not designed, permitted, or authorized to perform organic waste <br /> recovery activities. <br /> Set aside the incompatibles to be measured and recorded. See <br /> "Measuring Incompatible Materials Limit in Recovered Organic <br /> Waste." <br /> • Record the weight of organics (with incompatibles removed) in the <br /> sample = Ci, C2, etc. <br /> Step 4: Calculate Total Weight of Organic Waste Recovered for that Waste Type <br /> (D). <br /> Use the weights recorded in the previous steps to calculate the total weight of organic waste for each <br /> organic waste type recovered.
