Processing <br />a, Feedstock will be processed with two weeks of receipt. <br />b, Processed material will be placed in windrows for composting. <br />c. Files will be controlled with applications of insecticide such as Termidor, and <br />bait stations using granular bait such as Maxforce. <br />2. Pile Geometry <br />a. Ground material will be placed in a maximum of 50 windrows approximately <br />10 feet wide by 5 feet high by 300-350 feet long. <br />b, Processed Material will be stored in piles of approximately 50 feet diameter, <br />10 to 15 feet high. <br />3. Weather event impacts <br />The prevailing wind in the area is from N/NW, infrequently rising to 20 MPH. <br />Total rainfall is approximately 12 inches a year, from October to February. Fog is <br />not a consideration for processing operations. <br />Protocols to mitigate weather event impacts: <br />i. Stop all operations that may cause off-site odor <br />2. Determine If on-site management practices may remedy any odor <br />problems and immediately takes steps to remedy the situation. <br />3. Determine whether or not the odor is travelling beyond the site by <br />patrolling the site perimeter. Operations would be suspended until the <br />wind and meteorological conditions are favorable and ofl•--site odors will <br />not result. <br />4. Determine whether or not the odor has moved off-site. If so, is it <br />significant enough to warrant contacting adjacent neighbors? <br />1. Fire Prevention <br />Temperature monitoring — daily use of a thermometer probe <br />Fire prevention measures — daily temperature monitoring <br />A 2 -inch main water line will be run to the processing area <br />Fire district will have access to a 20 HP ag well <br />2. Water supply <br />Water for material processing and fire control will be drawn from the on-site well. <br />
