AfOR response to the Consultation on the EA's draft composting guidance
The Environment Agency has invited AfOR to provide comments on the âÂÂComposting Technical Guidance', more information can be found HERE.
This document, written by Jacobs Engineering U.K. Limited on behalf of the EA, is a technical guidance document on aerobic treatment and composting operations for source segregated biowastes. It will provide new best practice guidance to assist in the development, delivery, operation and regulation of aerobic treatment and composting processes and installations.
AfOR has collated all comments received from the industry, which included compost producers, consultants, technology providers, local authorities, and added them into the original document. AfOR has also attached an additional document which shows the correlation between the temperature and time during composting process, oxygen concentration in windrows after turning, and analysis of data representing industrial composting processes by Compost Manager.
The response document can be found HERE.
AfORâÂÂs general comment
The title refers to âÂÂModernising BiowasteâÂÂ. However, where is the âÂÂmodernising biowasteâ element? This document is merely a collation of information that is already available on composting. As agreed, if you publish this document, please publish it as a resource document, not as guidance on BAT.
There has been a significant interest in this document and concern that if it was to be implemented in its present form, it would compromise the operation of the majority of sites currently operating in the UK.
AfOR hopes that the EA take notice of these concerns and engage with industry prior to implementing any part of this document in the field.
