At this ratio, the requested capacity would <br />require approximately one million gallons of water during <br />initial compost windrowing. Further that WMMI has indicated <br />that the water source for said operation would be a 3,300 <br />gallon tanker truck. <br /> <br />That WMMI has stated that they would also receive grass <br />clippings, and further that the generators would be unlikely <br />to separate grass clippings from leaves so that it would be <br />impractical to control. <br /> <br />That Rutgers indicates "although grass clippings are readily <br />compostable, the odor problems they pose make this treatment <br />option difficult to implement for most communities." Further, <br />that "optimal means of co-composting leaves and grass clippings <br />are not yet fully developed." <br /> <br />That Rutgers indicates that a possible health concern withleaf <br />composting is the release of spores of the fungus Asperqillus <br />fumi~atus which are capable of Providing allergic responses or <br />causing infections in individuals with weakened immune systems. <br />Further study is currently underway on this aspect but early <br />indications are that this can be controlled through proper site <br />operation. <br /> <br />That no other conditional use permits for composting sites have <br />been issued in the City. <br /> <br />That WMMI has indicated that compost storage will occur in part <br />in currently wooded areas. <br /> <br />That WlCMI has indicated that it will berm, ditch or provide <br />other means of control to prevent stormwater runoff to <br />protected wetlands southwest of the site. <br /> <br />That the proposed use will/will not be unduly dangerous or <br />otherwise detrimental to persons residing or working in the <br />vicinity of the use or to the public welfare. <br /> <br />That the proposed use will/will not substantially adversely <br />impair the use, enjoyment or market value of any surrounding <br />property. <br /> <br />That the proposed use will/will not be harmonious and in <br />accordance with any specific objectives of the Comprehensive <br />Plan. <br /> <br />5 <br /> <br /> <br />
