Composting Process
nan
Two stage process
 70. Regulated
dead animals or composting material that are composted at a composting facility must undergo two stages of composting: 1.  Initial composting. 2.  Curing.  O. Reg. 105/09, s. 70.
Initial composting methods
 71. Initial composting must be done using one of the following composting methods: 1.  In-vessel composting, in which material undergoes composting in a structure that is designed to maintain optimal aeration and temperature conditions during composting by using mechanical turning at least once a day and is designed, or is enclosed within a building or structure designed, to prevent the entry of scavengers, insects, rodents and other pests. 2.  Bin composting, in which material undergoes composting in a structure that allows for access to the interior. 3.  Windrow composting, in which material undergoes composting in mounded rows.  O. Reg. 105/09, s. 71.
Initial composting material
 72. (1) At the beginning of initial composting, the initial composting material must contain, (a)  no less than 75 per cent substrate by volume; (b)  no more than 25 per cent by volume of regulated dead animals or composting material or any combination of the two; and (c)  nothing else.  O. Reg. 105/09, s. 72 (1). (2) Composting material that has completed initial composting may be used in substrate for a new batch of initial composting material if the following conditions are satisfied: 1.  The material is used as substrate in a new batch of initial composting material immediately after the old batch it is taken from has completed initial composting in accordance with section 76. 2.  The material does not comprise more than 50 per cent by volume of the total substrate content in the new batch of initial composting material.  O. Reg. 105/09, s. 72 (2). (3) If regulated dead animals or composting material or any combination of the two are added to initial composting material at any point during the initial composting process, enough substrate must also be added at the same time so that immediately after the addition, the mixture that results conforms to the proportions set out in subsection (1).  O. Reg. 105/09, s. 72 (3).
Cover for initial composting material
 73. (1) Subject to subsection (2), a batch of initial composting material that is undergoing composting by bin composting or windrow composting must be covered at all times during initial composting with, (a)  at least 0.6 metres of clean hay or straw chopped into pieces less than 15 centimetres in length, or wood chips derived from wood that is clean, uncontaminated and has not been treated in any way or come into contact with any chemical; or (b)  a non-compostable, retractable covering that, (i)  minimizes odours that could attract scavengers, insects, rodents and other pests from escaping the initial composting material, (ii)  prevents scavengers, insects, rodents and other pests from accessing the initial composting material, and (iii)  is free from materials that will contaminate the initial composting material or the finished compost.  O. Reg. 105/09, s. 73 (1). (2) Subsection (1) does not apply when the initial composting material is being turned or new materials are being added to it.  O. Reg. 105/09, s. 73 (2).
Turning
 74. (1) Every batch of initial composting material must be turned at least five times during initial composting, and as many more times as is required to ensure that the batch reaches a minimum temperature of 55 degrees Celsius as required under section 75.  O. Reg. 105/09, s. 74 (1). (2) Every batch of initial composting material must be turned during initial composting as often as is necessary to, (a)  minimize the release of noxious odours from the batch; (b)  minimize the attraction of scavengers, insects, rodents and other pests to the batch; and (c)  prevent the seepage of liquids from the batch.  O. Reg. 105/09, s. 74 (2). (3) When during initial composting a batch of initial composting material is turned, (a)  it must be turned quickly; (b)  the entire batch must be turned; (c)  once the entire batch is turned, it must be promptly re-covered as required under section 73; and (d)  the batch must be turned in a manner that minimizes seepage of liquids from the batch and, if the batch contains more liquid than is optimal for composting, more substrate must be added to the batch.  O. Reg. 105/09, s. 74 (3).
Temperature
 75. (1) Every batch of initial composting material must undergo initial composting until the temperature inside the batch is measured to be 55 degrees Celsius, (a)  on three consecutive days if the batch is undergoing initial composting using in-vessel composting; or (b)  on at least 15 different days, whether or not the days are consecutive, within the six months following the day on which the temperature of batch was first measured to be 55 degrees Celsius, if the batch is undergoing initial composting using bin composting or windrow composting.  O. Reg. 105/09, s. 75 (1). (2) The following rules apply when measuring the temperature of the batch: 1.  Once the temperature of the batch is first measured at 55 degrees Celsius, the temperature of the batch must be measured at least once on every subsequent day until the requirements of subsection (1) are satisfied. 2.  Each day, the temperature must be measured at a sufficient number of points within the batch to provide a temperature profile of the entire batch and in at least four diverse points within the batch. 3.  The temperature measurement at each point must be taken at a depth of at least 1 metre inside the batch. 4.  Once the temperature measuring has begun, if on any day the temperature at all four points in the batch drops below 55 degrees Celsius for more than seven consecutive days, the entire batch must be turned. 5.  If regulated dead animal or composting material are added to the initial composting material after the temperature measuring has begun, the temperature measuring process must be started again and any previous day on which the temperature was measured to be 55 degrees Celsius shall not be considered in determining compliance with subsection (1).  O. Reg. 105/09, s. 75 (2).
Initial composting complete
 76. Initial composting is complete when a batch of initial composting material has been turned in accordance with section 74 and has satisfied the temperature requirement set out in section 75.  O. Reg. 105/09, s. 76. Curing

If a custodian or a licensee believes that emergency conditions exist that make it impractical for him or her to comply with a provision of this Regulation respecting storage, disposal or transportation, he or she may apply to a director for authorization to store, dispose of, transport, or otherwise deal with the regulated material in a manner that would not otherwise be permitted under this Regulation.  O. Reg. 105/09, s. 87.
Director may authorize exemption
 88. (1) Subject to subsection (3), the director may authorize an applicant under section 87 to store, dispose of, transport, or otherwise deal with the regulated material in a manner that would not otherwise be permitted under this Regulation, if the director is satisfied that emergency conditions exist that make it impractical for the person to comply with this Regulation.  O. Reg. 105/09, s. 88 (1). (2) In deciding whether to grant an authorization, the director shall take into account the following factors: 1.  The reasons given by the applicant to establish that emergency conditions exist and why it is not practicable to comply with this Regulation, including whether the conditions exist due to the applicant’s own negligence or previous failure to comply with this Regulation. 2.  The type, nature and extent of the emergency conditions. 3.  The length of time that the emergency conditions have existed. 4.

Any other factors that the director considers relevant in the circumstances.  O. Reg. 105/09, s. 88 (2). (3) The director shall not grant an authorization if, in the director’s opinion, any of the following are true: 1.  Other methods of dealing with the situation that are permitted under this Regulation are available to the applicant. 2.  Despite the emergency conditions, it would not cause serious hardship to the applicant to comply with the provision that the applicant considers it impractical to comply with. 3.
