Governmental agencies throughout the United States can look toward NYSDOT to see how the public sector is adapting its procurement policies to take advantage of the design and maintenance benefits of compost amended soil.\r\n\r\nAccording to Shelah LaDuc, Director of NYSDOT\u2019s Landscape Architecture Bureau, the agency preserves as much existing natural landscape as possible, but some construction projects require landscape restoration because of the volume of soil disruption. Such instances provide the agency an opportunity to rebuild a healthy soil structure by adding compost, thereby reducing maintenance needs. Compost also provides an added stormwater management value to projects by capturing point source and non-point source pollution, and retaining up to 30% more water than conventional topsoil. NYSDOT requires the use of compost as a best management practice in their specifications and mandate that internal or contracted projects adhere to this practice.\r\n\r\nRevisions to NYSDOT\u2019s Standard Specifications will allow for new additional compost products to be used. Broadening the scope of acceptable materials that go into producing finished compost, NYSDOT now accepts compost generated from the following types of feedstocks:\r\n
    \r\n \t
  1. Bios\u00f3lidos\/Lodos de depuraci\u00f3n compostados<\/li>\r\n \t
  2. Residuos org\u00e1nicos separados en origen (SSOW)<\/li>\r\n \t
  3. Residuos de jard\u00edn y hojas<\/li>\r\n \t
  4. Agr\u00edcola (es decir, compost procedente de esti\u00e9rcol y agentes de volumen)<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nLa flexibilizaci\u00f3n de las restricciones sobre los materiales aceptables para el compostaje puede fomentar nichos de mercado para las instalaciones que manejan y generan tipos espec\u00edficos de este producto. Adem\u00e1s, las autoridades municipales que reciben financiaci\u00f3n estatal del NYSDOT tambi\u00e9n deben cumplir con sus especificaciones, lo que estimula el crecimiento potencial a nivel local.\r\n
