Subject: RE: Mulching Facility
Hello Mr. Vess,
I am not sure what regulatory areas you have explored for your business so I have provided information on the Waste,
Water, and Air programs below.
As we have discussed, the Virginia Solid Waste Management Regulations have a conditional exemption for mulch, the
mulching process, and the raw materials that are collected and stored to make the mulch. This exemption is available
providing that certain criteria are met. The criteria are that 75% of the raw material on-site at the beginning of the
calendar year is processed into mulch at the end of that year, and that the site is operated such that no open dump,
hazard or public nuisance Is created. Additionally, since your operation will receive pallets, there may be pallets that are
too contaminated to be processed into mulch. These pallets will need to be collected separately and sent for proper
disposal. If this waste stream is greater that 5% of the total material coming into the site, you may be required to obtain a
Materials RecoveryFacility permit from DEQ. The most efficient procedure would be for your company to reject the
objectionable material and send it back to the generator for proper management. Thus, if you operate under the
parameters listed above, no Waste permit would be required. Please contact me by email or the phone number below if
you have any questions regarding the waste aspect of this operation.
Regarding storm -water. I have attached to this email, a registration statement which includes an SIC code list and a fee -
form. If your operation has one of the listed SIC codes, a storm -water permit will be required. Additionally, if your facility

has a point -source discharge, you will need to obtain the storm -water permit. Please review the attached information and
contact Ms. Olive Critzer, in VRO's Water Program with any questions. Ms. Critzer can guide you through this process if
you need help or have questions. She can be reached at 540-574-7877.
Finally, equipment that operates on petroleum fuels or processes that emit dusttfumes, etc, may require a permit from our
Air Pollution Control program. Please contact Ms. Kelly Showalter to discuss any Air permits that may be required for
your grinding equipment or operations. Ms. Showalter may be reached at 540-574-7843.
1 hope this information is useful. Again, Please contact me by email or the phone number below if you have any questions
regarding application of the Waste regulations to your operation.
Thanks.
JED

Mr, Pascarella:
Centra Virginia Recycling is setting up a facility for producing high quality mulch. The County of
Albemarle has requested a letter from DEQ stating the requirements for storm water management. We
will only be processing clearing debris, pallets. No painted material will be accepted or treated wood,
metal products or construction demo. Thank you very much for your help with this letter.
