g <br /> The Scotts Company <br /> and Subsidiaries <br /> GSC 0 4 2001 <br /> Subject: Amendment to Report of Compost Site Information, <br /> Facility Permit NO. 39-AA-0026 F: L �' <br /> Dear Mr. Huggins: <br /> The purpose of this letter is to formally request an amendment to our Report of <br /> Compost Site Information. The specific conditions that we are requesting to be amended <br /> include yard trimming storage and permitted traffic volume. <br /> 1,Yard Trimming Storage <br /> LEA condition#I I currently.states "Yard trimmings must be processed at facility <br /> within 72 hours of arrival on site." We request that the allowable time yard waste can be <br /> stored on site prior to processing be increased to a maximum of 7 days. In this way, an <br /> adequate amount of greenwaste can be accumulated to allow 2-5 consecutive days of <br /> grinding. The current condition allowing only 72 hours of accumulation would require <br /> that we operate that grinder 1-3 hours per day three times per week. <br /> This requested change will not alter or compromise any of the specific permit <br /> conditions concerning vectors, odor, fire or other nuisances. The Scotts Company is <br /> committed to continuing the various site management and quality control standards we <br /> currently employ. The Scotts Company has hired an additional laborer to work <br /> exclusively in the area where the yard trimmings will be processed. His duties will <br /> include daily temperature monitoring of the various stockpiles and elimination of <br /> standing water to reduce opportunities for flies to breed. The yard waste materials will be <br /> processed promptly if either unpleasant odors develop and migrate off-site or an <br /> imminent fire hazard develops. <br /> The facility 24-hour fire watch will continue to be utilized and the site is equipped <br /> with 20,000 gallons of onsite water storage for immediate fire suppression. Additionally, <br /> #2 water trucks are permanently stationed at the facility for use with hourly dust control <br /> and fire suppression. Fire-lanes will be maintained around the stockpile areas at a <br /> minimum width of 12'. <br /> Enclosed is a site map showing the designated area for yard trimming stockpiles <br /> and processing. <br /> We have been in contact with the San Joaquin County Community Development <br /> Department and spoke with Chandler martin who verified there are no concerns regarding <br /> this requested amendment relative to our site approval. <br /> Proper record keeping of all incoming and outgoing commodities will continue to <br /> be kept. These records are available for County review during normal business hours. <br /> Pending approval of this request,the O.M. Scotts & Sons Company intends to <br /> begin receiving ungrounded greenwaste at our Linden facility effective August 1, 2001. <br /> Page I of 2 <br /> The O.M.Scott&Sons Company•Hyponex Corporation• P.O.Box 479•Linden,CA 95236 <br />
