Measurement Frequency at Transfer/Processor <br /> Facilities and Operations <br /> What are the requirements for facilities open fewer than-fU-- <br /> consecutive days (e.g., 2 times a week)? <br /> The requirement is for the operator to perform measurements during 10 consecutive operating <br /> days per reporting period, and there are four reporting periods per year (one per quarter). If the <br /> facility were open two days a week, then the reporting period would span five weeks. In addition, <br /> the regulations allow the operator to propose an alternate sampling frequency to the EA for <br /> approval, with concurrence by the Department, if it will be as accurate as the requirements. <br /> What is the measurement frequency for facilities that don't send out <br /> material every day? <br /> Facilities and operations should only perform a measurement on the day material is sent out within <br /> the 10 consecutive operating day period. The organic ratio of the sample is determined and then <br /> applied to the total amount of material sent out for that operating day. <br /> Table 1 and Table 2 (below) illustrate the sampling frequency of a facility that handles a mixed <br /> waste organic (MO) stream and a source separated organic waste (SSO) stream. Gray container <br /> waste and other incoming waste streams are not included for the purpose of this example. <br /> The facility's outgoing "organic material types" are mixed paper bales, old corrugated cardboard <br /> (OCC) bales, green waste, and processed mixed organics. The facility also sends material to <br /> landfill from its SSO and MO streams, which must be measured separately. <br /> SSO Streams <br /> • Mixed paper bales are sent out four days within the 10-day period for a total of four <br /> measurements. <br /> • OCC bales are sent out on one day within the 10-day period for a total of one measurement. <br /> • Green waste is sent to a compost facility six days within the 10-day period for a total of six <br /> measurements. <br /> • Material destined for landfill, comprised of the presort and residual from all the incoming <br /> SSO streams, is sent out for six days within the 10-day period for a total of six <br /> measurements. <br />
