ti April 4, 2003 Version I Article 3. Report of Facility Information 2 3 Section 17863. Report of Composting Site Information. 4 5 Each operator of a compostable material handling facility that is required to obtain a 6 Compostable Materials Handling Facility Permit, as specified in Article 2 of this Chapter, shall, 7 at the time of application, file a Report of Composting Site Information with the EA. If the 8 operator intends to alter the permitted feedstock, these changes must be reported to the EA for 9 maintenance of permit status. Such changes may become the basis for revisions to the permit or 10 for revocation of the permit. 11 12 NOTE: Authority cited: Sections 40502, 43020 and 43021 of the Public Resources Code 13 Reference: Sections 43020 and 43021 of the Public Resources Code. 14 15 Section 17863.4. Odor Impact Minimization Plan. 16 17 (a)All compostable material handling operations and facilities shall prepare, implement and 18 maintain a site-specific odor impact minimization plan. A complete plan shall be submitted to 19 the EA with the EA Notification or permit application. 20 (b) Odor impact minimization plans shall provide guidance to on-site operation personnel by 21 describing, at a minimum,the following items. If the operator will not be implementing any of 22 these procedures, the plan shall explain why it is not necessary. 23 (1) an odor monitoring protocol which describes the proximity of possible odor receptors and a 24 method for assessing odor impacts at the locations of the possible odor receptors; and, 25 (2) a description of meteorological conditions effecting migration of odors and/or transport of 26 odor-causing material off-site. Seasonal variations that effect wind velocity and direction shall 27 also be described; and, 28 (3) a complaint response protocol; and, 29 (4) a description of design considerations and/or projected ranges of optimal operation to be 30 employed in minimizing odor, including method and degree of aeration,moisture-content of 31 materials, feedstock characteristics, airborne emission production, process water distribution,pad 32 and site drainage and permeability, equipment reliability,personnel training,weather event 33 impacts, utility service interruptions, and site specific concerns; and, 34 (5) a description of operating procedures for minimizing odor, including aeration, moisture 35 management, feedstock quality, drainage controls,pad maintenance, wastewater pond controls, 36 storage practices (e.g., storage time and pile geometry), contingency plans (i.e., equipment, 37 water,power, and personnel),biofiltration, and tarping. 38 (c) The odor impact minimization plan shall be revised to reflect any changes, and a copy shall 39 be provided to the EA, within 30 days of those changes. 40 (d) The odor impact minimization plans shall be reviewed annually by the operator to determine 41 if any revisions are necessary. 42 (e) The odor impact minimization plan shall be used by the EA to determine whether or not the 43 operation or facility is following the procedures established by the operator. If the EA determines 44 that the odor impact minimization plan is not being followed, EA may issue a Notice and Order 45 (pursuant to section 18304)to require the operator to either comply with the odor impact 46 minimization plan or to revise it.
