0 <br /> A. Aeration <br /> Each static pile is periodically turned and watered to complete the composting <br /> process. This also minimizes the odor impacts. <br /> B. Moisture Management <br /> Moisture is only added to the compost as needed to keep at least a 50%water <br /> content. This will minimize any runoff from the static piles and windrows. The <br /> water is consumed by the composting process and added as needed. <br /> C. Feedstock Quality <br /> All incoming feedstock is checked prior to picking up for delivery to ensure <br /> quality and to check for any contaminants. <br /> D. Drainage Controls <br /> See IV. F. above <br /> E. Pad Maintenance <br /> Site personnel routinely inspect the pad for any evidence of ponding or drainage <br /> problems. Any standing water that is discovered will be absorbed with chipped <br /> material and the depression will be filled with soil. <br /> F. Wastewater Pond Controls <br /> All storm water/waste water is conveyed to the designated drainage area and <br /> reused as needed for composting to prevent any water buildup for any length of <br /> time. <br /> G. Storage Practices <br /> 1. Storage Time <br /> a. Feedstock <br /> Feedstock will be processed on the average within 90 days of receipt. <br /> Since most of the material is dry manure, wood shavings, and rice <br /> hulls, longer storage times have not posed any odor problems. <br /> b. Processed Material <br /> Material that is not planned to be used on-site is usually removed from <br /> the site within 90 days of processing. <br /> 2. Pile Geometry <br /> a. Feedstock <br /> 1 pile of dairy manure 20 feet wide, 8 feet high, and 200 feet long <br />
