Fighting mold | New York State Attorney General
Those most at risk include: infants and children; elderly people; pregnant people; and individuals with respiratory conditions, allergies (including asthma), or weakened immune systems. Mold-abatement workers are also at higher risk. A well-planned remediation is key to addressing these concerns.
Removing mold
It is important to consider whether to attempt your own mold remediation or hire a mold-abatement expert. Here are some of the factors to evaluate.
Isolate the mold
First, minimize your exposure to mold by isolating the affected area, if possible. This can be done by sealing off doorways with plastic and covering other openings and air ducts.
Clean it or throw It away?
Non-porous surfaces, such as metals, glass, and hard plastics, can usually be cleaned.
Semi-porous and porous structural materials, such as wood and concrete, can usually be cleaned if they are structurally sound.
Porous materials, such as ceiling tiles, insulation, and wallboards with extensive mold should be discarded. Some experts say that you should discard porous materials with more than 10 square feet of mold. Others say that you need to discard the materials only if there is more than 100 square feet of mold. If wallboard is removed, be sure to go at least six inches beyond visible mold.
Using a mold-abatement expert?
There are no official state or local licenses or certifications specifically for mold-abatement experts. However, all businesses in New York must be registered to do business in the state. The following information will assist you in checking the legitimacy and the complaint history of a company you are considering hiring:
Check licenses
Companies that market themselves as “home-improvement contractors” must be licensed in New York City, Suffolk, Nassau, Westchester, Putnam, and Rockland counties, and in the City of Buffalo.

2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
There are currently four rec techs on the District , and they are very limited in what they can do because they have to share a single vehicle. Fortunately two of the rec techs have their UTV certification, so they can use a 4 place SXS to reach worksite locations, but they need their own truck and trailer to tow the SXS to worksites. (The trailer is included in the grant request. ) One of the activities listed for rec staff is campgound maintenance. This is going to be limited on some areas of the SLRD because the three campgrounds usually used by OHV are managed by the concesionaire, Parks Management. There should be a clear delineation of tasks as to what Parks Managmement is responsible for and what rec staff will do. Parks Management made some improvements to facilties, but they took them over in a state of deferred maintenance, and more repairs and improvements are needed. Service by Parks Management has been variable due to staff turnover, and assistance from rec staff would be most welcome. The trash at these facilities is usually overflowing after a holiday weekend, for example. It seems unclear who is responsible for pumping the vault toilets at the Pozo facilities, which is very costly, and as a result this has not been done for several years. With respect to PCE item #7, volunteer dozer operator and swampers, we request that the SLRD volunteer item be withdrawn from the application. The CCTRA does not currently have the capacity to provide this item. With repect to line item #6, staff archaeologist, we suggest that if possible and necessary this item be increased. Although Los Padres has NEPA documents that support road and trail maintenance, they require that archaeological surveys must be adequate before Level 2 maintenance can be done. Unfortunately many of the Forest Roads on the SLRD have not had adequate arch surveys. The current Heritage program staff is beyond capacity due to storm damage related work from last year. The result has been disasterous for the ML2 road system. Maintenance of ML 2 roads has been delayed for as long as 3 years due to the lack of archaeologic surveys, and even storm damage from last winter has not been repaired.
SB 1383 Article 2: Determination of Technologies that Constitute a Reduction in Landfill Disposal - CalRecycle Home Page
CalRecycle will notify the applicant within 30 days of receiving the application as to whether the application is complete or if additional information is required. If the application is found incomplete, the applicant must resubmit the application with the requested information for the application review process to proceed.
Once CalRecycle receives all required information and the application is found complete, CalRecycle will notify the public via the department’s monthly meeting and via the SLCP listserv that an Article 2 application has been found complete and provide the public with 30 days to review and submit comments regarding the application.
CalRecycle and CARB will then evaluate the application to determine if the operation or technology constitutes a reduction in landfill disposal. CalRecycle will notify the applicant within 180 days whether the proposed technology or process results in a permanent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions equal to or greater than 0.30 MTCO2e/short ton of organic waste, and therefore constitutes a reduction in landfill disposal under the SB 1383 regulations.
If CalRecycle determines that a proposed process or technology results in a reduction in landfill disposal, CalRecycle will notify the public via the department’s public noticing process to provide the agenda item addressing the evaluation determination finding that will be discussed at the department’s monthly meeting and will subsequently post on the public notice site the results of the determination, including a description of the technology or process, below.
Please note, a determination of a reduction in landfill disposal does not constitute a license, permit, or endorsement of a technology or operation.
Article 2 Applications
Applications and results of any determinations, including a description of any technology or process determined to constitute a reduction in landfill disposal, are posted below.
H Cycle: An application was submitted by H Cycle on July 17, 2023. CalRecycle, in consultation with the California Air Resources Board, determined the application was complete pursuant to 14 CCR Section 18983.2(a)(2).

Consumer Guide to Funeral and Cemetery Purchases - Cemetery and Funeral Bureau
The chamber is composed of ceramic or other material which disintegrates slightly during each cremation, and the product of that disintegration is co-mingled with the cremated remains. Nearly all of the contents of the cremation chamber, consisting of the cremated remains, disintegrated chamber material, and small amounts of residue from previous cremations, are removed together and crushed, pulverized, or ground to facilitate inurnment or scattering. Some residue remains in the cracks and uneven places of the chamber. Periodically, the accumulation of this residue is removed and interred in a dedicated cemetery property, or scattered at sea."
The person who has the right to control the disposition of the body must sign a written authorization before cremation can proceed. This authorization, or a separate contract, indicates the location, manner, and time of disposition of the remains. It also includes an agreement to pay the costs for the cremation, for disposition of the cremated remains, and for any other services desired. (If you wish to arrange for your own cremation, you can legally sign the Declaration for Disposition of Cremated or Hydrolyzed Human Remains yourself.)
In addition, a burial/cremation permit (called Application and Permit for Disposition of Human Remains, VS 9) must be issued by the county health department. The funeral establishment usually arranges to obtain this permit as part of its services.
California law does not prohibit the person authorizing the cremation from viewing the cremation process, and some facilities may be able to accommodate more than one family member. Crematories that do not allow viewing of the cremation process must disclose that fact in writing prior to signing any contract. There may be a charge for attending the cremation. Check with the crematory for its policies.
A casket is not required for cremation by California law, but a combustible cremation container, also known as an alternative container, is. The container must be one that can be closed and is leak-resistant. A cardboard box constructed for this purpose is acceptable.
2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
It states examples such as utility cost, contract administration, personnel, telephone, etc. This is not specific. *Soil conservation- Has this been completed? Cannot state that new route won’t cause same issue as existing trail. -Where is documentation stating existing road cannot be fixed and beyond repair? Estimate of cost to repair existing road? Was an engineer or qualified personnel involved? *Evaluation Criteria -Was this area classified as a wetland? When? - special species habitat conflict- States no issue however asking for funding. -cultural resource- States no but requested funds for Heritage resource. -Publicly reviewed plan- Not communicated effectively for members of the public, trail users, property owners to be involved/informed. -Sustain existing recreation- “threat of closure due to landslide”. Did county engineer observe and document findings to state whether or not the area could be repaired? -Public Input- states “multiple stakeholders” separate from their general public meeting. The address stated is where RTF general meetings are held. Multiple stakeholders not present. States FOTR conducts annual maintenance on the Rubicon Trail and monitors conditions that are reported to the TNF. Where is that documentation? -RTF cannot be vendor, volunteer, paid employee, stakeholder and partner at the same time. Conflict. *Do individuals in RTF benefit monetarily from this project as stated by community member? *Offsite impact - “Prevent the displacement of traffic onto the Fordyce Jeep Trail.” This is an assumption with no proven documentation MAP- Map figure 1 McKinney Rubicon Trail Reroute and Restoration Project. To the right of the map there is a section between Rubicon Trail and Proposed route approx 0.15 miles according to your legend that isn’t designated anything other than a dirt road. -This is significant due to not being on trail or reroute and could be a potential closure point for the Forest Service. No protection for trail users against trail closure. *Why RS2477 rights NOT requested for the reroute? *RTF president and vice president have proceeded in planning with Mr. Chavez without any input from their own board.
Approaches to Composting | US EPA
A properly maintained vermicomposting system does not produce odors or attract pests.
It is essential to use a suitable worm species, such as red wrigglers (Eisenia fetida). Worms are kept in a closed bin or system that should be shielded from light and rain, with sufficient air flow, and a way to drain excess liquid. The ideal temperature for a vermicomposting system is 55 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Earthworms survive at 32 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit with at least four inches of bedding and insulation around the bin during colder months.
Composting Biosolids
Biosolids are a product of the wastewater treatment process. At the end of the process, liquids are separated from solids. The wastewater solids are then treated physically, biologically, or chemically to reduce pathogens, stabilize organic compounds, and reduce the volume of material. Composting is a highly effective treatment to stabilize and prepare biosolids for use as a soil amendment or mulch in landscaping, horticulture, agriculture, and land remediation. Biosolids management and use is determined by the federal regulation Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 503. Individual states may have more stringent requirements and additional biosolids regulations. More information can be found on EPA’s Biosolids website.

SB 1383 Article 2: Determination of Technologies that Constitute a Reduction in Landfill Disposal - CalRecycle Home Page
SB 1383 Article 2: Determination of Technologies that Constitute a Reduction in Landfill Disposal 

Organic waste decomposing in landfills produces methane and contributes to global warming. The effects of methane, a super pollutant, can be significantly reduced by diverting organic materials away from landfills and into recycling and recovery activities. 
Sending organic waste to the following facilities, operations, or activities is considered a reduction in landfill disposal, provided the organic waste is not subsequently disposed (see 14 CCR Section 18983.1):

Recycling Centers
Compostable Material Handling Facilities
In-Vessel Digestion Facilities
Biomass Conversion Facilities
Soil amendment for erosion control, revegetation, slope stabilization, or landscaping at a landfill     
Land application
Animal feed

The Article 2 process allows CalRecycle to evaluate and determine whether the permanent lifecycle emissions of an operation or technology that is not expressly identified in 14 CCR Section 18983.1 constitutes disposal or a reduction in landfill disposal under SB 1383.
For a technology or process to constitute a reduction in landfill disposal, the permanent lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions must be equal to or greater than the emission reductions from composting organic waste (0.30 MTCO2e/short ton organic waste).
The methodology used to calculate the permanent lifecycle GHG emission reductions from composting organic waste (or “benchmark”) is described in a memo written by the California Air Resources Board. 

Application Requirements
CalRecycle accepts applications exclusively for operations or technologies not already listed in 14 CCR Section 18983.1(b) as recovery or 14 CCR Section 18983.1(a)(1)-(2) as landfill disposal.  Applicants who are uncertain if an operation or technology or operation is described in these provisions may contact the SB 1383 Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCP) program for assistance at SLCP.organics@calrecycle.ca.gov.
To request evaluation of an operation or technology, applicants must submit an application to CalRecycle containing all the information described in Title 14 CCR Section 18983.2(a)(1). Below is an abbreviated list which provides a basic overview of the required information:
