This year’s Composting in Ohio industry tour in southwest Ohio will focus on managing water. The stops on the tour will feature, for example, a large-scale composting facility that recently took steps to better control its surface water runoff and a dairy-restaurant complex that treats millions of gallons of graywater in a system of wetlands.
Also covered will be preparing for a possible H5N1 avian influenza outbreak in Ohio and, if that happens, the possible need to compost thousands or even millions of dead poultry.
