5. Conclusions
This pilot test demonstrated that high-quality compost, defined as exceeding EPA regulatory requirements and suitable for unrestricted use, can be produced using the windrow method for naturel casings treatment. Additive composting materials supply and processing, site preparation, and initial setup required a significant effort, but once the compost pile had been constructed, the day-to-day monitoring requirements were minimal (1 to 2 person-hours per day).
