				to the use of end-product compost as an amendment to composting
				material.
F) The facility must have
				sufficient equipment and personnel to process incoming volumes of landscape
				waste accepted within the time frames required in this Section, and sufficient
				capacity to handle projected incoming volumes of landscape waste.
G) The operator shall obtain written
				authorization from the Agency to use any additive, other than water, prior to
