Describe any operational problems or neighbor complaints arising from the composting operation and include

equipment failure, etc.
In December 2018, the facility's wood waste grinder (2004 CBI Freedom Hog) burned in a fire and
experienced a total loss. The Town had already been planning to acquire a new grinder in 2019, but
the time frame for specifying, bidding, and assessing submissions for a new machine, and then the
delivery schedule once a winning bid was selected caused the facility to operate without a grinder until
@ September 1, 2019. This resulted in a significant accumulation of brush and leaves that could not
begin to be processed until fall, resulting in lack of available product during the summer and fall, and

SECTION 11 — QUESTIONS
Please identify any questions or concerns that you would like the Department to answer or consider:
SECTION 12 — FOOD DONATION & FOOD SCRAPS RECYCLING LAW
If you are registered or permitted to compost food scraps please complete the following. For all other
operations that are interested in processing food scraps, please contact your DEC regional office to
determine what is required.
In 2019, New York State passed the Food Donation & Food Scraps Recycling law. Effective January 1, 2022,
large generators of food scraps (defined as generating an annual average of two tons per week or more) must
donate excess food and recycle all remaining food scraps if they are within 25 miles of an organics recycler
(composting facility, anaerobic digester, etc.). Examples of large generators include: large restaurants, grocery
stores, hotels, colleges, etc. For more information visit: https://www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/114499.html
Contact Information
Under this legislation, DEC is responsible for providing a list of organics recyclers (compost facilities, anaerobic
digesters, etc.) to large generators so they can determine available food scraps recycling opportunities in their
area.
You will be included in this listing if you hold a permit or registration for the composting of source separated
organics or food scraps. This will educate both large generators and haulers of food scraps that you are an
available composter in their area.
Please provide the following information to include in the listing.

❑1 would like to opt out of DEC listing my facility as an available food scraps recycler for large generators as
it relates to the Food Donation and Food Scraps Recycling law.
Assessing Your Food Scraps Recycling Capacity
DEC is responsible for assessing available food scraps recycling capacity across New York State. Information
from your operation will help us do this. Please complete the following section to calculate the amount of
excess food scraps your operation will have the capability to process in 2022. Please stay consistent with units
(wet tons or cubic yards).
A. Amount of foods scraps projected to be processed in 2020: Choose Unit
B. Amount of foods scraps projected to be processed in 2022: Choose Unit
* Note: You will not be required to process this quantity of material, these estimates will only be used to assist
DEC in capacity planning across the state in preparation for the Food Donation and Food Scraps Recycling
law effective January 1, 2022.
