Permit exemptions can authorize compost operations on farms and smaller-scale facilities, such as community gardens, thus avoiding superfluous permitting requirements intended for larger, full-scale compost facilities. Because there are often significantly less risks or hazards associated with on-farm and small-scale composters, many states have incorporated permit exemptions into their composting regulations for such cases. Some states have additional regulatory pathways that support farms and other small-scale sites that are ready to scale up. This webinar explores models from around the country and explore the impact these rules are having on advancing on-farm composting.<\/span>\r\n
