O2Compost SOQ Comprehensive

April 13, 2009 To Whom It May Concern: It isa pleasure to provide you with this letter of recommendation for Peter Moon and his company, O02 Compost. In my present capacity as Solid Waste and Recycling Program Manager for Fort Lewis in Washington State, | have had the opportunity to work with Mr. Moon on a professional basis. As a contractor working for Fort Lewis Public Works it is my opinion that Mr. Moon and his company provided excellent project development and management services in the study, development and implementation of a successful composting operation at a large-scale military installation. The Fort Lewis composting operation serves a population of approximately 50,000 people and includes a variety of organic-based wastes such as biosolids, green waste, horse manure, chipped land clearing and storm debris, and food waste. Mr. Moon and his sub-consultant Cascadia Consulting Group, successfully coordinated and managed the Fort Lewis waste composition study that was fundamental in determining the feasibility of our composting operation. He and his staff also worked closely with Fort Lewis recycling program staff to educate, train, and provide hands on instruction in how to properly operate and maintain a composting facility. Mr. Moon regularly presented his findings and project status reports to Fort Lewis Public Works management in a professional, personable and highly competent manner. Fort Lewis has been operating the permitted composting facility developed by Mr. Moon and 02 Compost for the last four years and has plans to expand this very successful operation this next Fall. The Fort Lewis composting operation has received positive recognition and accolades from the Department of the Army’s western region installation command. As a result of this recognition the Fort Lewis composting program was selected as a best management practice for food waste collection and composting at all installations under the western region installation command. It is my honor to highly recommend Mr. Peter Moon and O2 Compost to you and your organization for all your compost project needs. The expertise, attention to detail, and follow-up customer service provided by Mr. Moon and his company were excellent and instrumental to the success of our program. Please contact me directly at (253) 966-6452, if you have any further questions in regards to this
