E)        Remove all finished compost within 12 months after completion of the compost process.

 

4)         For bin composting, the composter shall consist of primary and secondary bins.  The size of the composter shall be based on the facility's projected mortality rate of swine during any 3-month period.  The primary and secondary bins shall each contain a minimum of 10 square feet of composting area for each 1000 pounds of carcass to be composted.

 

5)         For bin composting, the composter shall be constructed of permanent rot-resistant wall materials, such as preservative-treated wood, concrete, or precast concrete such as highway lane dividers.  Each composter bin shall be three sides of a rectangle or square.  One side of the bin shall be left open for loading, unloading and mixing the compost.  In emergency situations, hay bales of 48" or greater in diameter may be used on a temporary basis in the above configuration of side walls.

 

6)         Composting shall comply with the following guidelines:

 

A)        Coarse sawmill sawdust, shredded cornstalks, chopped straw, coarse-ground corn cobs, and other materials possessing like properties and having similar particle size are recommended for the carbon source. 

 

B)        It is expected that the carbon source will be required in the ratio of approximately one cubic foot of the carbon source per 10 pounds of carcass (3.7 cubic yards of the carbon source per 1000 pounds of carcass).  A supply of the carbon source shall be stockpiled and maintained on the premises at all times when the composter is in operation.

 

C)        For static pile composting, the compost bin, windrow, or other formed structure shall have a layer of carbon source a minimum of 10" deep placed on the base before the first carcass is placed in the bin.  There shall be a minimum of 10" of carbon source between the carcass and the wall or the exposed surface.  The carcass shall be covered with a minimum of 10" of carbon source.  The carbon source shall be added to the pile as composting begins, daily or as frequently as needed to sustain a 10" cover of carbon source over all carcasses in the structure's uppermost layer.

 

D)        A compost thermometer with a probe at least 36" long shall be obtained and used daily to measure the temperature of the compost.  The compost temperature should reach 135 to 160° degrees F. (57° to 71° C.) and be recorded daily.  Compost temperature indicates microbial activity and stage of composting process.  The composting process shall be managed in such a way that the heating and decomposition can proceed to completion.  If aerobic composting does not begin with 7 days, i.e., if temperatures do not rise above 135° F., the compost pile or windrow shall be turned and/or moisture content of the carbon source adjusted to allow the process to proceed.  Temperature records shall be available for examination until the compost is disposed of as in subsection (e)(6)(G).

 

E)        For bin composting, all compost from the primary bin shall be allowed to undergo a second composting phase as follows:

 

i)          When the temperature surrounding the last carcass placed in the composter drops below 130° F. (typically up to 3 months after the last carcass addition), the compost in that bin shall be transferred to a second bin and allowed to reheat, through a second composting cycle.  Moisture shall be added to the compost as needed to promote further composting activity.

 

ii)         Compost shall remain in the second bin for the duration of the secondary composting cycle (typically 3 months).  Temperature of the compost shall be measured using the compost thermometer to monitor the composting process.

 

F)         Finished compost shall be agronomically distributed over land under cultivation or reused in the composting process.  Finished compost may be returned to the primary composting bin in the ratio of up to 50% finished compost to fresh carbon source.  For the purpose of this subsection (e)(6)(G), the agronomic rate is the annual application rate of swine compost, either alone or in combination with other nutrient supplying materials that is necessary to achieve a reasonable crop yield without exceeding crop nutrient requirements.

 

f)         Disposal of Cattle, Equine, Cervidae, Sheep, Goats, or Other Small Animals by Composting.  Persons disposing of cattle, equine, cervidae, sheep, goats, or other small animals by means of composting shall comply with the following requirements:

 

1)         Carcasses of those animals dying of suspect neurological causes shall not be composted.

 

2)         Surface water shall be diverted away from the composter.

 

3)         Location shall be in an area where runoff will not contaminate water supplies or allow leachate to discharge into streams, ponds or lakes.

C)        Finished compost from the carcass composting process (secondary bins or windrows) may be re-used in an amount appropriate to maintaining proper composting operation (up to 50% volume of re-used finished compost suggested).

 

D)        For static pile composting, the compost bin, windrow, or other formed structure  shall have a layer of carbon source a minimum of 10" deep placed on the base before the first carcass is placed in the bin.  There shall be a minimum of 10" of carbon source between the carcass and the wall or the exposed surface.  The carcass shall be covered with a minimum of 10" of carbon source.  The carbon source shall be added to the pile as composting begins, daily or as frequently as needed to sustain a 10" cover of carbon source over all carcasses in the structure's uppermost layer.

 

E)        Carcasses weighing more than 300 lb. shall be processed prior to covering with carbon source material.  Processing may consist of, but is not limited to:

 

i)          opening the abdominal cavity to facilitate contact of carbon source material and reduce distention of carcass with gases; and

 

ii)         incising the large limb muscles to facilitate contact of carbon source material and thereby hasten composting. 

 

F)         For bin composting, the composting process shall be monitored and managed in such a way that heating and decomposition can proceed to completion (typically 3 months in the primary bin from the time the last carcass is placed in the bin and another 3 months in the secondary bin from the time the compost is moved into the secondary bin from the primary bin).  Water shall be added as necessary to adjust the moisture content of the compost and promote further composting activity.

 

G)        Finished compost shall be agronomically distributed over land under cultivation or reused in the composting process.  Finished compost may be returned to the primary composting bin in a ratio of up to 50% finished compost to fresh carbon source material.  For the purpose of this subsection (f)(9)(G), the agronomic rate is the annual application rate of the compost, either alone or in combination with other nutrient supplying materials, which is necessary to achieve a reasonable crop yield without exceeding crop nutrient requirements.
