r <br /> Califomia Waste Removal Systems Report of Composting Site Information <br /> . I <br /> FACILITY <br /> A. INTRODUCTION <br /> This report of Composting Site Information describes the design and <br /> operation of an innovative compressed windrow composting system which is <br /> operated by California Waste Removal Systems. The facility is located at 1333 <br /> E. Turner Road, Lodi, California, on land owned by California Waste Removal <br /> Systems. <br /> This facility services communities in San Joaquin, Sacramento, Yolo, EI <br /> Dorado, and Calavaras Counties. <br /> California Waste Removal Systems utilizes an innovative compressed <br /> windrow composting system in which the active composting is achieved in large <br /> rectangular shaped windrows. This shape is created by adding one windrow to <br /> another with no space between them. <br /> Green and yard waste received from Lodi and other communities is <br /> prepared for composting by manually removing rejects and grinding or <br /> screening. Ground and/or screened material is placed in active composting piles <br /> with front end loaders where it undergoes 35 to 70 days of managed <br /> biodegradation primarily achieved with mechanical agitation and moisture <br /> control. The material is then screened to remove large particles and cured for an <br /> additional 60 to 100 days. Cured compost is loaded into trucks and shipped to <br /> various markets. Some material is sold bagged and in bulk to customers on-site. <br /> June 23 1997 Page 1-1 <br />
