2012-09-01

7.2.11.1. A dismembering plant operated under a “composting” category permit must have a composting facility with

(a)  an impervious concrete platform designed so that runoff from rain and snow flows outside the facility and the leachate resulting from the composting is retained inside the facility;

(b)  a roof with cornices to prevent rain and snow from entering the facility;

(c)  primary and secondary composting areas each having a maximum height of 1.8 m; and

(d)  a structure that prevents access to the facility by live animals.

Despite the first paragraph, the dismembering plant may have a composting facility different from the facility required by that paragraph, such as a rotating compost drum, if the facility

(a)  is sufficiently resistant to withstand the operations necessary to the composting process;

(b)  ensures that runoff from rain and snow flows outside the facility;

(c)  ensures that the leachate from the composting is retained inside the facility; and

(d)  prevents access to the facility by live animals.
