| Comment | To assess the air quality impacts, these new CASP emissions from 53
to 74 new facilities can be compared to the landfilling baseline.
Using standard industry practices, we have calculated that avoided
landfill emissions of VOCs are 1.9 times greater that the VOCs
emitted from CASP compost facilities. The net benefit of diverting
organics from the landfill to CASP compost facilities is almost 2
times greater than baseline conditions. The comments in the section
copied above needed to reflect that only CASP composting will be
utilized for new compost facilities, and that VOCs will not
increase above baseline, but instead will be cut in half. Plus, the
compost industry is in the midst of electrifying their off-road
heavy-duty grinders and trommels, and that there will also be a new
reduction in those emissions contrary to the statement copied above
