Officials have designed rules to suit various land uses (i.e. rural, suburban, urban) and made special effort to adapt to contemporary community needs via permit exemptions.\r\n\r\nOhio\u2019s revised rules went into effect on October 1, 2018. These updated regulations allow a registration (i.e. permit) exemption for any composting operation under 500 square feet. This is largely \u201cto accommodate community gardens and urban farms,\u201d explains Angel Arroyo-Rodriguez, an environmental planner and composting specialist for the Ohio EPA.\r\n\r\nFacilities over 500 square feet must register and obtain a license (essentially permit-by-rule) which requires an annual fee based on the daily amount of tonnage handled, a plan of financial assurance, and a daily maximum amount of materials to be indicated by the operator. The \u201callowed daily maximum\u201d waste receipt prevents the facility from receiving any more material then it can handle in 24 hours, giving the operator a baseline to avoid material back-up and related long-term issues.\r\n\r\nFor the purpose of monitoring potential risks to human and environmental health from improper materials management,\u00a0Ohio\u2019s compost facilities are divided into four categories, based on types of feedstock materials.","":null,"settings":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_basic_html","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_basic_html":{"heading":"","code":"
