REGULATORY AGENCIES

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE• Focus on “ protecting the public health”
• Address the “WHAT” – inputs and outputs - Permit,
Approvals, Licenses
• Could deal with the “HOW” – steps and methods –
Guidelines, BMP, Policies, Directives
• Permitting and Compliance can be a substantial operating
cost.
• Getting more complicated and bureaucratic.
• Plan for future growth
Your RESPONSIBILITY to know your regulations.

DOCUMENTATIONDesign and Operations Plan
The screened material is loaded and placed into aerated and agitated concrete channels for biological decomposition.
The channels are 320’ X 10’ X 10’ covered and equipped with temperature probes, aerated flooring, leachate collection system, and irrigation sprinklers.

• June 2013 – MOECC Sector Compliance Branch conducted an unannounced comprehensive review of paperwork, computer records, and field review of the facilities.
• Director – MOECC – “Lafleche was the only Compost facility in Ontario to receive a passing grade with NO follow-up actions.”
SUMMARY• Minimize material handling - layout
• Maintain flexibility – contingencies
• Plan for “expansion” from the beginning
• Work with Regulators
• The permit and license is “not all you do”
• Equipment – downtime – inventory
