Climate Action Reserve – Organic Waste Composting Project Submittal Form
August 5, 2011
Yes
No
If yes:
a. Does the system have excess capacity for composting eligible waste streams?:
Yes
No
5. Total waste processing capacity (MT per day): 500
6. Estimated food and soiled paper waste capacity (MT per day): Food Waste, 250 when this
process is started. The facility at present is only processing chicken manure and
green waste. No paper products are being considered at this time.
7. Describe the facility’s waste handling and mixing procedures and equipment (prior to
composting activities): Prior to the composting activities at the project site, chicken
manure is delivered to the site and staged on a concrete pad. The waste is
immediately treated with our blend of dominate microbes by spraying and the
process of decontamination is begun. Wood chips are also delivered and set in a pile
before being distributed for composting.
a. Maximum length of time between waste delivery and waste control (i.e. incorporated
into composting process, covered with high-carbon materials, or placed in a controlled
environment): 3 to 5 Days
8. Describe the type(s) of material used as bulking agents, and the approximate initial C:N ratio
of the compost mix: The bulking agents for the current process is natural, untreated
wood shavings. The C/N ratio is 25:1
9. Composting activities:
a. Type of composting system:
Forced Aeration
Turned Windrow
Other (describe) Turned Windrow by Scarab Windrow Turner.
b. Description of composting activities (including types of materials and technologies
employed): The all organic, USDA certified, Compost we produce is a
combination of green waste ( wood shavings) and chicken manure. Our current
ratio is 1 part green waste to 2 parts chicken manure. The combination of
material is distributed on a windrow 12 feet wide and from 800 to 1000 feet in
length. During the turning process ( see below ) our proprietary blend of
microbes is sprayed on the windrow.
c. Temperature of compost during active composting:160 degrees
d. Length of active composting period: From 30 to 45 days depending on weather (
temperature, rain, etc.)
e. For windrows, number of turns during active composting period: Each windrow is
turned 3 to 4 times per week.

10. Description of the storage of final compost material:After the composting process as
described in #9,a, b ,c,d and e is complete, the composted material is moved to a
staging pile where it is allowed to sit until it reaches the approximate ambient
temperature. The material is then sifted to a fine grade so it can easily be
broadcasted through a commercial spreader. Any of the original wood shavings
which have not been degraded enough fall away from the sifting machine and are
redistributed in windrows being processed with new raw material.
Section 3: Project Eligibility and Monitoring
11. Version of the Organic Waste Composting Project Protocol under which this project is being
submitted: OWC
12. Project description (Please provide one to two paragraphs):
The Castleberry OWC
project is developed by Green Giant Venture Fund/Grant Galloway (hereafter referred
as the project developer) at 630 Conecuh County Road, Castleberry, Alabama,36432
USA . The project applies anaerobic digestion technology to dispose 500 tons of
organic waste per day.
13. The composting technology is applied as well to dispose 500 TPD of chicken manure
and green waste. The output from composting will be used to produce organic
fertilizer. The Castleberry OWC project goal is to help farmers dramatically improve
the quality and health of their soil and crops, while reducing their dependency on
synthetic fertilizers!
14.
15. Project start date (format MM/DD/YYYY):October 01, 2013
16. First reporting period (MM/DD/YYYY):TBA to TBA
17. Have any GHG reductions from the project ever been registered with or claimed by another
registry or program prior to registering with the Reserve? No
If the answer is yes, you must complete and return a "Project Transfer" form.
18. Have any GHG reductions from the project ever been sold directly to a third party (i.e. sold
without being registered with or claimed by another registry or program) prior to registering
with the Reserve? No
If the answer is yes, please describe:
19. As of the project start date, is/was the composting facility in compliance with the Best
Management Practices (BMPs) defined in Sections 2.2 and 6.3 of the protocol (including
time, temperature and turning frequency, waste handling requirements, and other monitoring
requirements)? Yes
20. Has a detailed monitoring plan been developed for this project? If not, by what date will a
monitoring plan be in place? Yes
