At the same time, if not conducted in the proper manner, or if conducted at an improper location, composting presents potential environmental problems, most notably to surface water and groundwater. The rules provide performance standards that all composting facilities must meet. These standards protect surface water and groundwater, require control of offensive odors and vectors, and require testing of finished compost to make sure human pathogens have been reduced to safe levels. The rules also eliminate several existing exemptions and one permit category; provide greater specificity for composting facility plans, refine composting facility design features for stormwater and leachate control; clarify financial assurance requirements for solid waste disposal facilities, clarify public notice requirements for renewal of several solid waste permits; and adopt enforcement provisions specifically for composting facilities.
