Subject: [USCC] Compost Standards

We are interested in compost standards, including metals and organic
compound contaminant limits, which have been established by state
environmental agencies for commercial composting facilities where the
outlets for finished product include the residential as well as the
commercial sector.  Any assistance with or web links and contact
information for these standards would be appreciated.
