Contingency Plan The following general rules and considerations' will be followed during any event which, may have the potential to create a negative impact upon air or water quality due to unexpected events associated with the composting process. The following procedures will be outlined in the daily' operations manual. Each operator will be trained prior to commencement of operations as to which corrective or remedial actions to be followed should any of these events .occur. Equipment Breakdown All equipment required for the primary duties of the compost facility will be properly maintained and inspected on a daily basis to ensure breakdowns are the exception not the rule. Spare parts for frequently repaired or replaced items will be kept in inventory at the facility. Operators will be sufficiently trained so the majority of maintenance and repairs can be completed in-house. All equipment will be purchased from reputable manufacturers who maintain sufficient quantities of spare parts which can be. obtained overnight to ensure no piece of equipment is down long enough to endanger the integrity of the compost facility or product. A list of manufacturers' phone numbers will be maintained in the office to ensure that quick technical assistance can be obtained in the event of an emergency. Odor Control Odor control at the facility will be accomplished through strict, management practices. Certain odors cannot be avoided due to the nature of the waste. These odors are best dealt with by ensuring the odorous waste is immediately covered with either leaf and yard waste or finished compost upon receipt at the compost facility. Excessive generation of odors is primarily caused by either improper balance of nutrients (principally, carbon/nitrogen ratio), or the existence of anaerobic conditions in the windrows. 8
