stored in three large bins prior to being mixed at a ratio 1:1 with sawdust.
This mixture is then transferred to a large covered compost bunker where over a 40 day
period it is aerated and heated to 70°C until well composted. The composting process
elevates the temperature which kills harmful pathogens as well as helping to stabilise
the product. The forced aeration provides oxygen for bacterial action. The final product
is bagged and sold commercially as a soil conditioner.

the handling and storage of scrap, dross and baghouse dust have also resulted in particular areas having
elevated metals concentrations. Included in the Mangaone …
