				  operation or facility uses a windrow composting process, active compost shall
				  be maintained under aerobic conditions at a temperature of 55 degrees Celsius
				  (131 degrees Fahrenheit) or higher for a pathogen reduction period of 15 days
				  or longer. During the period when the compost is maintained at 55 degrees
				  Celsius or higher, there shall be a minimum of five (5) turnings of the
				  windrow.
(4) If the operation or
				  facility uses an aerated static pile composting process, all active compost
				  shall be covered with 6 to 12 inches of insulating material, and the active
				  compost shall be maintained at a temperature of 55 degrees Celsius (131 degrees
				  Fahrenheit) or higher for a pathogen reduction period of 3
				  days.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
This section shall become operative January 1, 2018.
(a) Compost shall not contain more than 0.5%
				  by dry weight of physical contaminants greater than 4 millimeters; no more than
				  20% by dry weight of this 0.5% shall be film plastic greater than 4
				  millimeters. Compost that contains physical contaminants in excess of either
				  one or both of these limits shall be designated for additional processing,
				  disposal or other use as approved by local, state or federal agencies having
				  appropriate jurisdiction. Verification of physical contamination limits shall
				  occur prior to the point where compost is removed from the site or beneficially
				  used on-site. Test results of samples must be received by the operator prior to
				  removing compost from the composting operation or facility where it was
				  produced.
(b) The operator of a
				  compostable material handling operation or facility shall sample every 5,000
				  cubic-yards of compost produced and determine the percentage of physical
				  contaminants greater than 4 millimeters in the sample using a method that
				  provides accurate results and has been approved by the EA. If the compostable
				  material handling operation or facility produces less than 5,000 cubic-yards of
				  compost in a 12 month period, the operator shall analyze at least one composite
				  sample of compost produced every 12 month period.
(c) If the EA has reason to believe, based on
				  the EA's visual observation or otherwise, that a determination of percent
				  physical contaminants made pursuant to section
				  17868.3.1(b) is
				  not accurate, the EA may require an operator of a compostable material handling
				  operation or facility to take a composite sample of compost in the presence of
				  the EA and send the sample to a laboratory at which physical contaminants

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Green material, as defined in section
					 17852(a)(21), and
					 vegetative food material, as defined in section
					 17852(a)(20)(A),
					 must satisfy the following requirements:
(a) The feedstock shall undergo load checking
				  to ensure that physical contaminants are no greater than 1.0 percent of total
				  weight. Load checking shall include both visual observation of incoming waste
				  loads and load sorting to quantify the percentage of physical contaminants and
				  detect receipt of unacceptable feedstock (e.g. feedstock that does not meet the
				  definition of green material or vegetative food material).
(1) A minimum of ten percent of daily
				  incoming feedstock volume or at least one truck per day, whichever is greater,
				  shall be inspected visually. If a visual load check indicates a physical
				  contamination level greater than 1.0 percent, a representative sample shall be
				  taken, physical contaminants shall be collected and weighed, and the percentage
				  of physical contaminants determined. The load shall be rejected if physical
				  contaminants are greater than 1.0 percent of total weight or if the load
				  contains materials that do not meet the definitions of green material in
				  section 17852(a)(21) or
				  vegetative food material in section
				  17852(a)(20)(A).

				  occurrences encountered during operation and methods used to resolve problems
				  arising from these events, including details of all incidents that required
				  implementing emergency procedures.
(c) The operator shall record any public
				  complaints received by the operator, including:
(1) the nature of the complaint,
(2) the date the complaint was
				  received,
(3) if available, the
