[USCC] Definition of "wet ton"

[David Schellinger]

John,
Wet tons can't be defined since moisture is a highly variable property of
finished compost.  The term "as received" denotes a consumer perspective
that the materials will be sold and received "as is".  If you want to define
a wet ton of compost, it would have to be a ton of compost and ambient
moisture.

Does anyone have a definition of the term "wet ton" that would support the
standard practice and use of the term to mean "as is, as received"?

Thank you.
