[USCC] Compost Standards

[William (Bill) Carter]

James,
 
Texas end-product compost standards apply only to facilities composting mixed waste (permitted facilities) or sewage sludge (registered facilities) and similar materials. The standards for permitted facilities are at http://info.sos.state.tx.us/pls/pub/readtac$ext.TacPage?sl=R&app=9&p_dir=&p_rloc=&p_tloc=&p_ploc=&pg=1&p_tac=&ti=30&pt=1&ch=332&rl=71 
Compost from registered facilities must comply with the state rules for sewage sludge use, treatment and disposal -- see http://info.sos.state.tx.us/pls/pub/readtac$ext.ViewTAC?tac_view=4&ti=30&pt=1&ch=312

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.
