DocuSign Envelope ID: 7796CD94- 342E- 40D0- B7C3- A2B604F926B4 During the collection phase, storm drains will be avoided so that no materials end up going down them, even if materials are spilled and cleanup occurs, Brooks Compost Facility operates in much the same manner. The facility is designed to contain liquids such as rainfall and keep them on the site, and also to prevent run -on of rainfall to the site. All liquid wastes are unloaded into the concrete solidification basin and blended with absorbent mulch, animal bedding, and leaves. The blend is then placed in a large pre - composting pile located around the basin on concrete with drains flowing back to the basin so that all liquids on the facility are reused and recycled. Brooks Contractor has experience working with the NCDQT, NCDEQ, and various county and city governments in which the Contractor is in good legal standing and operable under all applicable laws. 12.1.4 Data Management At a minimum, monthly data provided will include number and size of carts collected and the total weight for each waste generator. Some details of the Subcontractor's collection capabilities are proprietary and confidential. These aspects will be demonstrated and discussed at length if invited to do so. All collection software custom developed and utilized by CompostNow will also be used by Brooks Contractor. This will exceed reporting abilities and allow both . contractors to easily communicate data and operate as efficiently as possible during daily operations and especially under expansion periods. The software includes the ability to "right size" each client and allow office managers access to data while routes are being performed. This is both applicable to the safety and efficiency of employees and gives management significant oversight of employee productivity. To address contamination, Brooks Contractor will utilize the software to track issues that arise and immediately inform waste generators. If a cart has significant contamination that is not removable, photos will be taken and sent to the waste generator's management in an effort to track where the issue originated (place within the facility as well as employee). A copy will be given to the County's contact to inform them of the issue, and if needed will be asked to make contact with the waste generator. However, with a program management fee the Subcontractor and Contractor will be able to alleviate the issue without the time and energy of the County employee. If any carts need to be rejected due to significant contamination, a tag will be left on the cart stating why the cart was not accepted. Contractor management will be responsible for making sure the waste generator is aware of this issue and will do so in a timely manner, The Subcontractor will address contamination much in the same way, yet could allow carts to be brought back to a consolidation area for removal of the non- compostable fraction. Landfill items will be landfilled and recyclable items will be recycled. The subcontractor will work with each generator's carts based on bar code traceability throughout the collection and tipping process. Both contractors will attempt to work with the locations on why contamination was a problem and how it can be solved, If, after repeated attempts to resolve contamination issues, the waste generator shows little ability to control materials that enter the cart and does not show a willingness to comply with the rules of the program then the waste generator will be subject to be removed from the County's program. Before this is an option, the County will be notified as problems arise and before being removed shall have in- person contact from the County. Employee(s) from the County should attempt to further explain the wishes of the County to divert organics and the need for participants to be involved in ensuring that contamination is not a recurring issue. If management shows no interest to help solve the problem of contamination,
