1 <br /> Medium—The site may be in an area where illegal activity or vandalism is possible,but adequate security can be provided. <br /> Or the site cannot be secured,but it is in an area where illegal activity or vandalism is not likely. <br /> High--Control of access is more than adequate and the site is in an area where illegal activity or vandalism is not likely. <br /> Scorecard <br /> Refer to the scorecard introduced in Section 1. Review the following descriptions of those items <br /> that would tend to favor or eliminate one or more levels of technology during your evaluation. <br /> Now mark the scorecard for the siting section. <br /> SITING <br /> Technology Commentary <br /> Minimal OK when sites are large,have lots of buffer space between the composting <br /> and other activities, and there is a low potential for environmental harm. <br /> If your site lacks the larger 1,000-ft buffer considered necessary for <br /> minimal-tech methods,then eliminate this option. <br /> Low Low-tech compost or worm bin systems can work well on many sites, <br /> though the potential for odor limits their use near residences or offices. <br /> Low-tech windrows require impervious surfaces and water,but can work <br /> where there is no power. <br /> Medium Appropriate for a wide variety of sites, including urban sites. <br /> If your site scores low on"Neighboring Uses" (i.e., close to where people <br /> work or live),and your material flow is more than a few hundred pounds <br /> or 1 cy per day,then you should give preference to higher level <br /> technologies that offer greater control of odor. <br /> If your site scores low to medium on"Site/space,"because you are not <br /> sure if there is enough space to handle the volume of material you have or <br /> if the cost of value of land/space in your area is high, give preference to <br /> medium-and high-tech methods that compost more efficiently. <br />
