That WMMI requested to be considered on the September P&Z agenda after abrogation of development limitations were received. That WHMI stated that another concern with the project could be groundwater contamination. WMMI stated that material in a compost pile is the same material found on forest floors and not associated with groundwater contamination and that studies have shown that there has not been significant contamination problems because of compost sites. That odor may be a concern if the site is not properly managed. That the groundwater pollution may be a concern if the site is not properly managed. That the additional traffic generated by the proposed use does not appear to be significant. That WMHI proposes that the site hours would be the same as those for the adjacent landfill. That the permit being sought is for a term of 4.5 years. That WHMI has stated that the piles would be monitored for temperature, oxygen, Ph, moisture content, physical appearance and odors. That WMMI has stated that the proposed method of composting is the Rutger's Method, low level technology. That WMMI stated that no additional oxygen induction system will be used and it has proposed to turn the piles once a month or more often as monitoring indicates is necessary.
