About this file

This is a Compost Analysis Summary document related to Hillsborough County's Sale and Removal of Finished Compost revenue contract in Florida. The document provides monthly compost quality test results spanning from July 2025 through June 2026, tracking parameters against FDEP 62-640 F.A.C. standards. The analysis monitors arsenic and cadmium concentrations in the finished compost on a dry weight basis, with arsenic levels ranging from 1.86 to 3.08 mg/kg dw across the twelve-month period, averaging 2.32 mg/kg dw. The data demonstrates compliance with applicable regulatory ceiling concentrations and Class AA standards established by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

The compost analysis indicates that the finished product from the Hillsborough County Composting Facility meets established quality benchmarks necessary for beneficial use and resale. Monthly testing results show consistent adherence to regulatory requirements, supporting the marketability and distribution of the finished compost under the five-year revenue contract valued at $1,020,000.00. This quality assurance documentation is essential for contractors bidding on the purchase, removal, and transportation of the finished compost material, as it validates the product's suitability for commercial and beneficial reuse applications.
