Please attach additional pages if needed. <br /> <br />We are requesting a 300' x 300' paved pad at our ten (10) acre compost site in <br />Southwest Paris. The paved pad will be used for staging and storage of wood chips <br />in rows to mature into compost. <br /> <br />During bad weather, we cannot use the ten (10) acre site to stage and store our wood <br />chips. We have to store them at our Public Works site and then remove the wood <br />chips to our compost site during better weather. <br /> <br />We currently use a chipping machine at residential sites in Paris to chip branches <br />of trees. The wood chips are taken to our compost site to decompose rather than <br />to the landfill. This is saving the City of Paris over $250,000.00 in landfill costs <br />annually and reducing our tonnage by over fifty percent (50%) annually. <br /> <br />If funded, we would purchase the materials to pave the 300' x 300' pad and would <br />use our equipment and labor to pave the area. <br /> <br />By having this paved area, our compost will mature more quickly. We plan to use <br />the compost at our City Parks and offer the compost to the citizens of Paris which <br />has a population of 25,000. <br /> <br />5 <br />
