PERSPECTIVE

Compost Science & Utilization, (2007), Vol. 15, No. 3, 139

Wide Diversity In The Research Laboratory

DESPITE a lack of scientific data regarding rainfall/runoff relationships at composting sites, specific regulatory requirements exist in many jurisdictions that offer specific guidance on the size of storm water detention ponds. These design features are intended to ensure that precipitation drains from the
