Processing <br />a. Feedstock will be processed with two weeks of receipt. <br />b. Processed material will be placed in windrows for composting. <br />2. Pile Geometry <br />a. Ground material will be placed in windrows approximately 10 feet wide by 5 feet <br />high by 300-350 feet long. <br />b. Processed Material will be stored in piles of approximately 50 feet diameter, 10 to 15 <br />feet high. <br />3. Weather event impacts <br />The prevailing wind in the area is from N/NW, infrequently rising to 20 MPH. The <br />nearest downwind potential receptor is over a mile away. In the event of wind from <br />other directions, operations would be adjusted to minimize impact from wind <br />movement, for instance grinding material or turning compost during times of minimum <br />wind intensity. In some instances, water can be sprayed on the windrows to create a <br />crust, and minimize blowing material. <br />Total rainfall is approximately 12 inches a year, from October to February. Fog is not a <br />consideration for processing operations. The site is basically flat, but has been graded <br />so that following major rain events surface water will migrate toward the retention <br />pond. <br />Protocols to mitigate weather event impacts: <br />1. Stop all operations that may cause off-site odor <br />2. Determine if on-site management practices may remedy any odor problems and <br />immediately takes steps to remedy the situation. <br />3. Determine whether or not the odor is travelling beyond the site by patrolling the <br />site perimeter. Operations would be suspended until the wind and <br />meteorological conditions are favorable and off-site odors will not result. <br />4. Determine whether or not the odor has moved off-site. If so, is it significant <br />enough to warrant contacting adjacent neighbors? <br />Revised September 25, 2008 <br />
