The biofilters <br />contain shredded wood etc. The composting process takes about 21 days. The finished <br />product will be marketed by a company named AlIGro. The facility will process 100 tons a <br />day of m~,terial and it will be very important to develop a good product. He commented <br />that their ~aeility located in Fairfield, Connecticut, is right down the street from a housing <br />development. Mr. Hanahan then asked for comments and questions. <br /> <br />Becky LO3~e stated her main concern is with the storage area. She inquired if the stored <br />materials ~(yard waste and leaves) will have to be turned so they don't go anaerobic. <br /> <br />Mr. Hanahan replied that the material will not be stored long enough to go anaerobic. <br /> <br />A resident inquired how the materials would get to the facility and how many trips that <br />would arn~ unt to per day. <br /> <br />Mr. Hanahan replied that the material would be tracked in and it would amount to about 15 <br />to 20 tracks per day. <br /> <br />Mayor Gilbertson commented that he had thus far heard only positive comments and <br />inquired it' there were any negatives. <br /> <br />Mr. Louis Naylor stated he has worked with each of the 15 operations to get them started <br />and they have never shut down for any purpose. Some of these facilities have biofilters <br />and some ~o not, some are near residential neighborhoods, some are not, some are right in <br />town and Some are in commercial areas. There have never been any serious problems. <br /> <br />Mr. Otter Stated he too had raised that same question. <br /> <br />John Lucia stated that if the materials will be collected from restaurants, what's to say there <br />will not be any pop cans or plastics in the material and how will those things get separated <br />out. <br /> <br />Mr. Hanahan stated that it will be made very clear to their customers to try to avoid this <br />happening. He added that if it does happen, the material is inspected at the front of the <br />facility and anything that doesn't belong in there will be taken out. The materials will be <br />screened, <br /> <br />Mr. Lucia stated he used to work for a company that was located by a recycling plant. <br />They (recYcling plant) promised to be odor free but it was not. <br /> <br />Mr. Naylor stated he could not answer for that company but IPs has not had that problem. <br /> <br />Mr. Luciar called attention to the pumps shown on the sketch of the landfill and inquired <br />about sludge ponds and water flow. He stated the pumps are north of that area and <br />expressed Concern for future contamination. <br /> <br />Mr. Otter;informed Mr. Lucia there are no sludge ponds on the property. There are <br />sedimentation basins for the routing of surface water from the landfill and from the <br />proposed plant. <br /> <br />Mr. Naylor stated that the composting facility would be receiving only solids. <br />Sharon D~ihlgren inquired about proteins picked up from restaurants if that would be a <br />problem. <br /> <br />Mr. Hanalian assured her that would not be a problem as they have a couple of facilities <br />that take n~at. <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br /> <br />
