2 Compost Manufactured Soils in Landscape construction Reducing the need for harmful floodplains and farmland soil stripping activities is the first benefit of selecting compost manufactured soils. The true value comes with the higher quality topsoil enriched with organic matter, nutrients and calcium. And since manufactured topsoil is screened during production various grades are available such as sportsfield turf or lawn soils. Added benefits of moisture retention for drought and compaction resistance

3 Composted Mulches in Sediment & Erosion Control Composted mulches provide an environmental sustainable method of erosion and sediment control Compost blowers for slope protection, constructed wetlands, and Filtrexx products

4 Reclamation and Maintenance with Compost Topdressing and Soil Amendments Compost topdressings in combination with core aeration can be used to repair and enhance existing turf or sportsfields Pelletized dehydrated compost products are available for ease of spreading

5 Brownfield and Urban Soil remediation with Compost Typical Brownfield sites contain Urban Soils characterized by lowlevel metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, zinc..etc) and/or organic pollutants (TPH, PAH, PCE, pesticides etc.). Real Estate remains under-utilized due to perceived high treatment costs. Brownfield soils can be amended with compost within ex-situ windrows whereby biological degradation processes act to reduce contaminants to within acceptable CCME Soil Quality criteria.

6 Wetland Compensation and LowImpact Development - Enriched Topsoil and Bio-Retention Cells Use of compost within a constructed wetland soil provides the following benefits: Rapid development of wetland plants and ecosystem components including microbes, insects and wildlife Compost soil media provides increased precipitation/run-off infiltration rates (>1 per hour) and water holding capacity (2.3 gallons/cu.ft) Increased plant survivability

7 Agriculture Soil Fertility, Organic Certified Crops and Environmental Farm Management with Compost Application rates for compost are recommended between tonnes per acre to increase organic matter to >2%. Amending low fertility and low organic-matter farmland soils with compost will sustain crop yields as well as provide many other environmental benefits Decreases erosion, adheres nutrients and sustains soil biology and beneficial microorganisms for plant health.

8 Organic Greenhouse and Nursery Potting Mixes with Compost Use of compost as an environmental-sustainable alternative to peat-moss based growing mixes provides customers with an organic certified option for greenhouse and nursery growing. A reduction of pressure on Peatland harvesting and provision of value-added peat substitutes is in line with the New Brunswick new Peat Mining Policy

9 Sustainable Organic BioFertilizers from Composted manures Pelletizing Plant contains dryer, grinders, mixers and pellet dye to pasteurize, compress, and produce granular fertilizer from poultry manure. Produced in two different grain sizes for turf or agricultural applications End product fertilizer provides organic matter, nutrients, iron, calcium, lime, and microbial matter to soil for overall soil health.
