Demand Forecast Looks Favorable
PROS
- Strong and growing
demand
- Manure compost
seen as premium
- fewer contaminants
- Logistical advantage
- ver municipal
CONS
- Higher salt content
than greenwaste
- Supply chain
restrictions
- not science-based
Supply
Currently Unclear
PROS
- Consistent feedstock
- 1.5MM cows ≈ 93k
tons manure daily
- Significant amount
- 5% manure ≈ 1.9MM
yd3 compost
- Economically viable
Supply Potential is Significant, Consistent
CONS
- Permitting confusion
hindering supply
- Market infrastructure
underdeveloped
R E GULATOR Y
Lack of alignment causes confusion
Different agencies use different:
- Units/measures
- Definitions
- Monitored materials
- Thresholds
- Import/export restrictions
Lack of clarity creates uncertainty
- CalRecycle: LEA interpretations
- SJVAPCD: BACT requirements
- CVRWQCB: composting & Dairy General
Order
POLIC Y
Manure Compost Can Help Achieve Policy Goals
- SB 1383 / Short-Lived Climate Pollutant
Strategy
- Alternative Manure Management Program
- Healthy Soils Initiative
- AB 1045
Key Takeaways
Composting manure beneficial itself, much more so combined with other practices
- Environmental, operational, economic
Market ripe, need to address a few barriers
- Ensure quality control of final compost
- Establish BMPs for compost use, esp. NMPs
- Better align permitting
- Ensure RWQCB Dairy General Order reflects
water quality benefits of composting manure
- Clarify & communicate SJVAPCD BACT
