' <br /> <br />A~ 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 80 hp tractor to pull our compost turner and water tank <br />to be used at our ten (10) acre compost site in southwest Paris. We currently use <br />a tractor with low horsepower which will not pull our windrow compost turner and <br />water tank properly. <br /> <br />We currently use chipping machines at residential sites in Paris to chip <br />branches of trees. The wood chips are then taken to our compost site to <br />decompose rather than to the landfill. This is saving the City of Paris over <br />$200,000.00 in landfill costs annually and reducing our tonnage by nearly fifty <br />percent (50%) annually. J <br /> <br />If funded, we would purchase a two wheel drive 80 hp tractor to pull our <br />compost turner to be used twice a month and reduce our time for composting by <br />more than fifty percent (50%). We estimate we would have mature compost in six (6) <br />to eight (8) months. <br /> <br />We plan to use the compost at our City parks and offer the compost to the <br />citizens of Paris, which has a population of 25,000. We are looking into a market for <br />compost which may be available. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />) <br />
