What is Composting
• Biological treatment process• Decomposition of organic portion of waste• Finished Compost – humus like product used
as a soil conditioner

From a Regulatory Standpoint
• Composting (“Organic Composting”)– By definition a “Pollution Control Facility”– Local Siting Required (per Sec 39.2 of the Act)– Illinois EPA Permit Required– Regulated by 35 IAC 807
![Page 5: Senate Bill 99 Composting Overview Derek Rompot Illinois EPA](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649f265503460f94c3e276/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
From a Regulatory Standpoint
• Landscape Waste Composting – By definition not a “Pollution Control Facility”– No Local Siting Review Required– Illinois EPA Permit Required – Regulated by 35 IAC 830
![Page 6: Senate Bill 99 Composting Overview Derek Rompot Illinois EPA](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649f265503460f94c3e276/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Landscape Waste Composting
• Grass or shrubbery cuttings, leaves, tree limbs and other materials accumulated as the result of the care of lawns, shrubbery, vines and trees.
• Regulated by 35 Illinois Administrative Code (IAC) parts 830-832

Organic Composting
• Organic Waste Composting – Source separated organic waste
• Mixed Municipal Waste - non-source separated municipal solid waste
• Regulated by 35 IAC Part 807
![Page 8: Senate Bill 99 Composting Overview Derek Rompot Illinois EPA](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649f265503460f94c3e276/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What does Senate Bill 099 Do?
• If a facility meets certain requirements:– Material to be composted (food scrap)– And• In-vessel composting –or-• Location standards
• The Facility is not a “Pollution Control Facility”
![Page 9: Senate Bill 99 Composting Overview Derek Rompot Illinois EPA](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649f265503460f94c3e276/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What does that mean?
• No Local Siting review required!!!– Simplifies the permitting process
Note:
• Permit from Illinois EPA is still required• Regulated under 35 IAC 807
![Page 10: Senate Bill 99 Composting Overview Derek Rompot Illinois EPA](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649f265503460f94c3e276/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

SB099 Location Standards
Either :• Materials to be placed in vessel by end of dayOr• Meet Location standards– Equivalent location standards for landscape waste
composting facilities
![Page 12: Senate Bill 99 Composting Overview Derek Rompot Illinois EPA](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649f265503460f94c3e276/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

![Page 14: Senate Bill 99 Composting Overview Derek Rompot Illinois EPA](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649f265503460f94c3e276/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Illinois EPA Regulations
• Available on-line at www.ipcb.state.il.us• Composting falls under solid waste regulations
– 35 IAC 807• Specific regulations have been developed for
landscape waste composting – 35 IAC 830-832
![Page 15: Senate Bill 99 Composting Overview Derek Rompot Illinois EPA](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649f265503460f94c3e276/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
35 IAC 807
• General Solid waste regulations• Does not specifically address composting• “Thou shall not do bad”• Illinois EPA will use landscape waste
composting regulations (35 IAC 830) as guidelines in permit review.
![Page 16: Senate Bill 99 Composting Overview Derek Rompot Illinois EPA](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649f265503460f94c3e276/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Etc.
• Landscape waste composters can accept up to 10% non-landscape waste if Permit allows– Facility can modify existing permit to allow
• No fee from Illinois EPA for permitting• Landscape waste composting permits issued
for 5 years• 807 Composting permits have no expiration
![Page 17: Senate Bill 99 Composting Overview Derek Rompot Illinois EPA](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649f265503460f94c3e276/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What if I do both?
• If a facility is composting landscape waste + food scrap/manure greater than 10%
• Can avoid local siting review• Need two (2) permits– 830 permit for the landscape waste composting– 807 permit for organic portion of composting
![Page 18: Senate Bill 99 Composting Overview Derek Rompot Illinois EPA](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649f265503460f94c3e276/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
End of SB099
The following slides mention concerns about composting in general, and are issues that Illinois EPA consider during the review of Permit Applications.
![Page 19: Senate Bill 99 Composting Overview Derek Rompot Illinois EPA](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649f265503460f94c3e276/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
General Concerns
• Proper Composting Conditions• Compost Recipe (C:N ratio)• Location Standards (basis for permit denial)• Stockpiles/Windrows• Odors• Vectors• End Product Use (accumulation)
![Page 20: Senate Bill 99 Composting Overview Derek Rompot Illinois EPA](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649f265503460f94c3e276/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Proper Composting Conditions
• Aerobic Conditions• Windrows (or In-Vessel)• Temperature• Moisture• Oxygen Content
![Page 21: Senate Bill 99 Composting Overview Derek Rompot Illinois EPA](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649f265503460f94c3e276/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Compost Recipes
• Recipe is mixture of different materials to get desired finished compost
• C:N ratio of 20:1 to 30:1• Carbon – “browns” – woody material• Nitrogen – “greens” – grass, leaves• Carbon Stockpiles – inspection concern
![Page 22: Senate Bill 99 Composting Overview Derek Rompot Illinois EPA](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649f265503460f94c3e276/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Inspection/Complaint Concerns
• Liter/Debris• Stockpiles/windrows– Proper location– Adequate spacing
• Proper Operation– Temperature– Moisture– Oxygen (turning)
![Page 23: Senate Bill 99 Composting Overview Derek Rompot Illinois EPA](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649f265503460f94c3e276/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Inspection/Complaint Concerns
• Odors• Vectors• Finished Compost– Amount on-site/storage finished compost– Potential open dumping issues if compost not
removed form site in timely (one year) manner
