  1. Cornell Waste Management Institute Butcher Waste Composting Policy Evolution Jean Bonhotal cwmi.css.cornell.edu

  2. Structures

  3. Structure with Natural Air Flow

  4. 300+ facilities, Which Are Regulated, Why?

  5. ??How will end product be used for ???Should we regulate the process or end product ???Does Compost Standard testing fit?

  6. Decision Making Process(initial meetings) NYS Dept. Of Environmental Conservation Cornell School of Vet. Medicine Cornell Cooperative Extension Pro-Dairy NYS Dept. of Health

  7. Risk AEM Tier II Worksheet on Farm Waste Disposal, Revised September 2000

  8. States’ Standards

  9. Expansion of Team • Communication within NYS DEC • Natural Resource Conservation Service • NYS Dept of Transportation

  10. Well-drained, at least 200 ft from water courses, sinkholes, seasonal seeps or other landscape features that indicate the area is hydrologically sensitive.

  11. NYC Watershed

  12. Temperatures were maintained at adequate levels for pathogen reduction

  19. Pile Locations • Demonstration/pilot piles at 3 DOT locations – compost analysis and pathogen testing. • 3 research piles at Cornell’s compost site – additional pathogen testing on “seeded” organisms.
