commercial, residential, and government entities. The composting facility will accept green and brown

Please note that, in addition to operating according to the processes and procedures detailed in the Plan
of Operation, this approval is contingent on Wild Harvest Farms Composting complying with the following conditions and requirements: 1. The facility shall be operated in accordance with the Plan of Operation submitted and received
