PROJECT DESCRIPTION (20 Points) <br /> <br />In the space below, provide a description of the proposed project, based on specific <br />questions listed in the scoring criteria. Please attach additional pages if needed. <br /> <br />We are requesting a pull-behind compost turner to be used at our ten (10) acre compost <br />site in southwest Paris. We currently use a front-end loader four (4) times a year to turn the <br />compost, which delays the maturing of the compost. It currently takes two (2) years for compost <br />to mature. <br /> <br />We currently use chipping machines at residential sites in Paris to chip branches of trees. <br />The wood chips are then taken to our compost site to decompose rather than to the landfill. This <br />is saving the City of Paris over $200,000.00 in landfill costs annually and reducing our tonnage <br />by nearly fifty percent (50%) annually. <br /> <br />If funded, we would purchase a pull-behind compost turner to be used twice a month and <br />reduce our time for composting by more than fifty percent (50%). We estimate we would have <br />mature compost in six (6) to eight (8) months. <br /> <br />We plan to use the compost at our City parks and offer the compost to the citizens of Paris, <br />which has a population of 25,000. We are looking into a market for compost which may be <br />available. <br /> <br />P <br />,I <br /> <br />4 <br />
