| Comment | Dear ARB,
I would strongly recommend that any reserch into this subject
should include examination of the effects of the application of
compost to soils in the context of reducing nitrogen fertilizer
requirements.
Information on this topic can be found at the National Sustainable
Agriculture Information Service, the Soil Science Society of
America, and the US Composting Council among many other sources.
Diverting organics from landfill disposal to composting not only
reduces GHG emissions resulting from landfill generated methane
gas, it also reduces GHG emissions by reducing the need for
application of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers in agricultural and
landscaping applications.
