The Scotts Company and Subsidiaries July 19, 2001 Mr. Mike Huggins, R.D.I., R.E.H.S. Supervising Environmental Health Specialist Public Health Services c San Joaquin County 304 E. Weber Ave. Stockton, California 95202 Subject: Amendment to Report of Compost Site Information, G Facility Permit No. 39-AA-0026 Dear Mr. Huggins; Effective August 30, 2001 the O.M. Scotts&Sons Company will begin receiving unground greenwaste at our Linden facility. The purpose of this letter is to request L.E.A. approval of an amendment to our R.C.S.I. which currently requires incoming greenwaste (yard trimmings) to be processed within 72 hours of arrival at our site. We request that the allowable time greenwaste can be.stored on site prior to processing be increased to twenty(20) days. In this way an adequate amount of greenwaste can be accumulated to allow 2-3 consecutive days of grinding. The current condition of three (3) days of accumulation would require that we operate the grinder 1-3 hours per day three times per week. We have reviewed the California Integrated Waste Management Board Title 14 regulations and believe our request is reasonable. All other conditions of our Solid Waste Facility Permit will remain in effect. This additional incoming greenwaste will not cause us to exceed our permitted tons per day nor our permitted traffic volumes per day. This requested change will not compromise any of the specific permit conditions concerning odor or fire. The materials will be processed earlier if either unpleasant odors develop and migrate off-site or an imminent fire hazard develops. In advance, thank you for your prompt attention to our request. You may reach me at (209) 887-3845 with questions or comments. Sincerely, 'q, /,-,/ Aaron Leach Plant Manager The 0.M.Scott&Sons company•Hyponex Corporation• P.O.Box 479•Linden,CA 95236
