The document is an Operation Plan for the City of Cheyenne Compost Facility, detailing comprehensive procedures for managing yard waste, wood chips, and compost materials. The facility receives yard waste from the public at no charge, with the goal of recycling materials into a saleable product. The operation plan covers critical aspects such as storage, processing, fire protection, emergency response, equipment maintenance, and personnel roles. Specific guidelines are established for pile sizes, which should not exceed 25 feet in height, 150 feet in width, and 250 feet in length, with mandatory separation between piles and compliance with fire code requirements.

The plan includes detailed protocols for fire prevention and emergency response, with specific procedures for equipment maintenance and static pile temperature monitoring. Key personnel are identified, including Site Foreman Toby Pacheco, Office Manager Katie Shaffer, and Operator II Mike Shine, each with defined responsibilities. Daily maintenance procedures are outlined for equipment like the Rotochopper, E-Z screen, 906 Caterpillar, and 924G Caterpillar, with specific cleaning and inspection protocols. The facility has established an emergency telephone number (911) and a notification chain that includes the Director of Solid Waste and Risk Management, ensuring comprehensive safety and operational continuity.
