Windrow composting <br />using a windrow turner is also discussed included in Section 1.3.1. <br />Curing and Screening. Following composting, the mixture may be screened or placed in <br />stockpiles approximately 1~g feet high and approximately ~aO feet wide at the base for <br />curing. In curing, a slower rate of decomposition occurs. A.GQ uring time of approximately 1 <br />to 6 months is neededw ill be provided . An even longer curing period is desirable for <br />production of a high er quality compost. The curing period will depend on the quality desired <br />and this in turn will depend on the market or final use of the product. Therefore. +!he <br />capacity of ~final compostffig output decreases s ite is significantly +e5s-to produce a <br />higher quality compost product. After curing, the material may be screened. Screening <br />produces a higher quality material, but at additional cost. Oversized material from <br />screening may be returned for grinding, recycled to be used in the compost mixture or <br />landfilled. <br />Alternative Processing. The windrow turning/processing discussed above has been <br />determined to be at optimum. In the event of equipment breakdown. Republic will <br />replace /rent a windrow turner. If this equipment is not available. front end loaders will be <br />used to turn the windrows. <br />Compost Quality. The decision on what quality of compost to produce will depend on the <br />available feedstocks, potential markets for compost, and the overall economics of the <br />composting process. Potential uses/markets for the compost are as follows: <br />• Alternative Da ily Gover <br />• Bulk agricultural use ~ <br />• Wholesale to topsoil manufacturers~ <br />• Turffarm ~ <br />• Farm land reclamation ~ <br />• Wholesale to landscape industry: and <br />• Retail to individuals~ <br />2.1.3 Facility Construction <br />Incll:lde a scRematic drawing 0'£ facility showing IaYOyt and geneM! dimensions 0'£ al/ <br />processes ytil/reel in tRe pre€iyction 0'£ COfRpost incItJdi-Rg, byt not limited to, unloading, <br />storage, processing, parkf.Flgandloadingaroas (14 CCR, Seotion 18227 (e». <br />Descnbe ROW all facility et:tf:Jiprnent and f:JancJIi.R.g areas will be designed and constrtJCtecl for <br />sale Rand/lAg, easy clean t:ip, and pre vention 0'£ tRe propagat/en 0'£ ~'06tors and tRe creation <br />otnf:ll'sances.
