O2Compost SOQ Comprehensive

► Onondaga County Resource Recovery Agency (OCCRA) Syracuse, New York O2Compost worked closely with OCRRA (2009‐Present) to develop a large‐scale food waste pilot project at the Amboy Compost Facility near Camillus, New York. The focus of this project was to demonstrate the viability of composting using the aerated static pile method in extreme cold weather conditions. The project was closely monitored by OCRRA staff as well as the faculty of Cornell University. This pilot project was very successful and plans are being developed for converting the entire facility over to an aerated system. Statement of Qualifications Project Experience - Food Waste ► Beijing Hydraulic Research Institute Beijing, China In 2010, BHRI invited Peter Moon to Beijing to serve as a foreign expert. During his eight visits to China, Peter presented information on the topic of organic waste management to numerous government officials. The primary emphasis of this work was to assist with a solution for biosolids management, but a secondary project involved the design and construction of a small aerated bin compost system for food waste. The food waste is generated in a small community located two hours outside the city and the finished compost is used on local farms. This system is powered by solar energy. ► Philadelphia Prison System Philadelphia, Pennsylvania O2Compost was hired in 2011 to design an aerated bay compost system to process food waste from a minimum security facility. This compost system was intended to 1) reduce off‐site disposal of source‐ separated organics in an effort to enhance sustainable practices; 2) serve as a demonstration site for other prisons; and 3) provide an opportunity for inmate training. The program is considered a resounding success, with plans to expand to process food waste generated by 9,000 inmates. Joint Base Lewis McChord (JBLM) ► Tacoma, Washington In 2006, O2Compost completed an extensive pilot demonstration project in support of the U.S. Army’s goal of zero discharge from military bases. The objective of this project was to evaluate the compostability of a wide range of organic waste materials, including biosolids, municipal green waste, food waste materials, horse manure, and petroleum‐contaminated soils.

aste, food waste materials, horse manure, and petroleum‐contaminated soils. St. John’s University ► Jamaica, New York St. John’s has achieved a Gold Rating with the AASHE(1) STARS(2) Program, in part because of their efforts to: 1) collect food waste from university dining halls and coffee shops, 2) compost it on‐ campus, and 3) utilize the finished compost in sustainable landscape practices and in a student organic garden. By composting on‐site, St. John's has reduced its carbon footprint by eliminating the need for the Department of Sanitation to transport food waste to a landfill, thereby significantly reducing both truck exhaust and the production of landfill greenhouse gases.
