The facility is in violation of Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) condition 6 of the SWFP. The facility is using the unapproved feed stocks chicken manure and ground paper in the composting operation. The facility is only approved to compost leaves, tree trimmings, grass and brush. Seven windrows were observed during the inspection which, according to the operator, contained a mixture of bark fines, chicken manure and ground paper. Windrows 2-7 were 150, 156, 131, 132, 142 and 127 OF. Material which reaches a temperature of 122 OF is defined as active compost. LEA condition 6 states that"The facility shall meet the requirements of Waiver of Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR's No. 95-021)." The WDR waiver on page 3 states that"The facility shall only compost green material which includes but is not limited to, leaves, grass clippings, weeds, tree trimmings, untreated wood waste, or shrubbery cuttings. The composting shall not include any additives, amendments, municipal solid waste, sludge, manure, liquid waste, hazardous waste or other waste." 2)Violation—Title 14 CCR 17863— Report of Compost Site Information (RCSI). The facility is using the unapproved feed stocks chicken manure and ground paper in the composting operation. The RCSI (dated February 1994) states on page 1-5 that"The Facility has been designed to function exclusively as a yard trimmings processing Facility and will only accept yard trimmings collected by municipalities and private firms from residential and commercial sources." 3) Immediately stop constructing new compost windrows that use the unapproved feed stocks chicken manure and ground paper. Submit a letter to the Environmental Health Department(EHD) which states when the current windrows will be complete and processed. Before using unapproved feed stocks in the future, submit an application to amend the current Solid Waste Facilities Permit(SWFP) to the EHD. The amended SWFP must be approved before the new feed stocks can be used in the composting operation. INSPECTOR SIGNATURE: DATE:
