Document Description
The primary purpose of the proposed project is to increase operational efficiencies at the 157-acre Z-Best facility. These operational efficiencies would occur through the expansion of final processing and finishing operations into 28 acres on an 80-acre parcel adjacent to current operations (Area 2), as well as through improvements to existing composting operations on the 77-acre Area 1. Expansion into Area 2 would spread the current operation over a larger area (expansion of 28 acres) - 105 acres total, while maintaining the same volume of composted materials. The additional acreage in Area 2 is necessary to accommodate final processing and compost finishing equipment to create a more efficient operation. Expansion into Phase 2 would be phased as necessary to accommodate expansion over a 2-10 year period. All of the proposed changes can be seen in the Z-Best Facility Site Plan.
