Intent:
Reduce the environmental footprint of material recovery facility and organics processing operations.
Requirements:
Demonstrate that organics recovering facility and processing operations meet the following targets:
- <[XX diesel gallon equivalent energy consumption per ton of product
- For [50% of rolling stock or [50% of total fuel consumption: Utilize low-sulfur diesel fuel; install catalytic and particulate pollution control devices and/or utilize the ISX12N engine from Cummins Westport or equivalent class of diesel engines
- For [50% of Processing Equipment:
- Utilize electric equipment or use ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel; install catalytic and particulate pollution control devices and/or
- Utilize ILEV or ULEV diesel engines
- Limit onsite turnaround time to an average of 15 minutes
- Reduce VOC emissions from active composting phase by 80%
- Institute best practice dust control techniques
Covered activities include:
- Take measures to improve energy efficiency per ton of output (machines and buildings)
- Procure energy efficient or alternative fueled rolling stock (front-end loaders; forklifts; yard hustlers and other onsite hauling) vehicle emissions
- Procure low emission processing equipment with best available emissions control (e.g. windrow turning equip. + other)
- Minimize emissions from collection vehicle queuing through idling policies and minimizing facility turnaround time
- Implement interior and site-level dust & litter suppression
- Employ odor control technology as warranted
- Methane & other emissions control for composting
- ULEV engines count 2X ILEV engines
