[USCC] Good state permitting rules for food scrap composting?

[Bush, Susan H.]

Brenda, 
Have you looked at Pennsylvania's laws? 
They have really put some thought into their regs, and have less onerous
regulations for on-farm composting and smaller operations.

Here is the link to their home page on composting.
A link to regs is at the bottom.

Best regards,
Susan Bush

Hi everyone,

Which states have model food scrap permitting regs?  Perhaps your state
has good regs for on-farm composting or for commercial facilities or for
being able to add food to existing green waste operations. If so, I'd
love to hear the pros and cons of the regs.  (And if your state has
terrible rules, those would be good to know about too.)

Any information would be used as part of my work to promote expanded
food scrap composting in the DC metro region.  I am participating on a
region-wide Organics Task Force and volunteered to help identify model
state legislation that could be adapted to our region.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers,
Brenda
