The operator shall provide fire prevention, protection and control measures, including, but not limited to, <br />temperature monitoring of windrows and piles, adequate water supply for fire suppression, and the isolation of <br />potential ignition sources from combustible materials. Firelanes shall be provided to allow fire control equipment <br />access to all operation areas. <br />B. Monitor piles regularly for smoldering. Water and turn piles as needed to reduce internal temperature. If pile <br />temperature meets or exceeds 170F, then immediate action must be taken to cool down the material. <br />C. The smoldering section of finished compost was broken up during the inspection. <br />Inspection Report Comments: <br />Notes: <br />1.) Facility halted screening of material on 4/28/17 due to high winds. <br />2.) Temperature range of overs piles was between 130F and 160F. Temperature range of windrows was between 148F <br />and 152F. Temperature range of finished compost was between 131 F to 160F. Temperature range of finished product <br />was between 111 F to 130F. Temperature range of green waste pile was 97F. Temperature range of ground waste piles <br />was between 130F and 168F. <br />3.) Facility is now recording temperatures of all piles of material on site. The row numbers on site are still not <br />corresponding with row numbers in the temperature log. This is mainly an issue for rows 17 and higher. <br />4.) Fly population was light. <br />5.) Odors on site were light. <br />6.)
