0 0 <br /> Comments: Pieces of treated wood were observed in the green waste pile that was already screened. <br /> 1. The feedstock shall undergo load checking to ensure that physical contaminants are removed. <br /> 2. Ensure that all personnel assigned to load checking and screening are properly trained in recognizing <br /> physcial contaminants and hazardous materials. <br /> x 17869(d)- Feedstock and Compost <br /> Comments: The records for total tonnage in May 2010 were analyzed. Facility converted the total cubic yards <br /> sold into tons using inaccurate numbers. <br /> 1. The facility took their total cubic yards sold for May 2010 and divided the number by 1.55 to get tons. The <br /> number 1.55 was obtained by putting a cubic yard box filled with compost on a scale and measuring the <br /> weight in pounds. According to calculations,the 1.55 was obtained due to the one cubic yard of compost <br /> weighing 1,290 pounds. <br /> 2. During a subsequent visit(6/25/10),the facility was asked to weigh the cubic yard box with fresh <br /> compost. The weight of one cubic yard was 1,000 pounds. According to this weight, the facility should be <br /> dividing their cubic yards of compost sold by 2 instead of 1.55 to get tons. <br /> 3. Using 1,000 pounds as the standard,the total number of tons of compost sold in May 2010 should be <br /> 2,005 tons. The records show 2,493 tons sold. <br /> 4. It is recommended that all compost sold be weighed in tons on the scale instead of being measured in <br /> cubic yards and converted to tons. However if it is decided that compost sold will still be measured in <br /> cubic yards, then weigh one cubic yard of fresh compost on the scale monthly in order to accurately <br /> convert the cubic yards sold into tons. Indicate the weight of the one cubic yard of fresh compost on <br /> each monthly tonnage report. <br /> Inspection ReportComments: <br /> Quaterly compost inspection performed on this date and the following was noted: <br /> 1. Previous area of concern regarding the lack of records for training and instruction has been corrected. <br /> 2. Records showing the temperatures and turnings of the windrows were analyzed. It is recommended <br /> that for each windrow that completed pathogen reduction,the period (15 days or longer at 131 F or <br /> higher with 5 or more turnings)is indicated either by stating "pathogen reduction begun"and <br /> "pathogen reduction completed"or highlighting the period. <br /> 3. The temperatures of the windrows ranged between 76 F and 95 F. The temperatures of the green <br /> waste,the overs, and the finished product was 75 F, 97 F, and 85 F respectively. <br />
