Attn: Pat Pathwater
The City of Bakersfield, Kern County Farm Bureau, and Wood Recovery Systems
appreciates the opportunity to submit, for your review, the enclosed proposal. This
document meets all requirements listed in your request for proposals dated March 6,
1994. This team is confident that this project will meet all goals listed in the
document, "Notice of Funds Available".
The project team is comprised of individuals who are, on a daily basis, producing,
processing, and marketing a compost product to agricultural, industrial and residential
communities. Team members are also developing new compost products.
Marketing, promotion, and education are elements performed each day by this team.
This proposed project has the long-term potential of marketing millions of tons of
compost in the San Joaquin Valley. Several hundred thousand acres of carrots,
cotton, sugar beets, and lettuce are produced in the southern portion of this valley
every year. The project team is certain that this study will prove that compost can
increase yields and decrease water usage for many crops grown locally. This will
increase profit to local growers and benefit the entire agricultural community.
This type of study is important to help break down barriers which keep local farmers
from using more compost in their operations. The farm community is conservative
and remains resistant to programs which increase up-front costs, without proven
studies documenting increased crop yields or dollar savings resulting from those
costs. This team is positive that the project will provide the necessary documentation
to satisfy those reservations. By including successful, local farmers as a part of this
team, a level of trust and credibilify will be added to the results of the study.
4101 TRUXTUN AVENUE BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA 93309 (805~;~j~r~r~. -
The project team is putting significant levels of time and financial support toward this
program. The total budget for this demonstration is $71,287. The team is requesting
$48,527 (68% of the total budget) from the California Integrated Waste Management
Board to help fund this program.
This team is confident that the proposal submitted will provide valuable information
which will promote the use of compost throughout the agricultural community. If you
have any questions please call (805) 326-3114.

Work Statement
A. 1 Statement of Proposed Work -
A. 1.1 Summarize project and explain cooperative team responsibilities.
This project will evaluate the response of specific crops to organic compost
created from a mix of green waste and manure. Data analysis includes:
germination and growth rates, water usage, and crop production in response
to varying application rates of cornposted materials on agricultural lands. The
project team will include The City of Bakersfield, Kern County Farm Bureau,
Wood Recovery Systems, and four Kern County Farmers.
The City of Bakersfield operates a Green Waste/Wood Waste Recycling
Facility which, in cooperation with Wood Recovery Systems, will supply the
compost to be used by local farmers. Similar compost/mulch product blends
are being used locally and have an established track record for residential
applications.
The Kern County Farm Bureau and The City of Bakersfield will actively
promote the program within the agricultural community and through the local
media. Both entities have extensive experience in promoting agricultural
programs, educational programs, and waste diversion projects.
Local farmers will apply compost on 20 acre plots of crop land at a variety of
application rates. As the crop matures, The City of Bakersfield and the Kern
County Farmers will evaluate germination rates, plant size, and crop
production as it relates to the amount of compost applied to that specific plot
of land. City staff and Farmers will also monitor the amount of water applied
to specific plots in an effort to evaluate the effect compost has on water usage.
A. 1.2 Detail educational element including early promotion of Board
involvement and publication of demonstration results.
Upon acceptance of the grant application, initial Press Releases will be sent to
all local news media, (3 television stations, 10 radio stations, I major
newspaper, 2 spanish-language newspapers, various neighborhood/special
interest publications), announcing the grant/demonstration approval by The
California Integrated Waste Management Board, outlining procedures and
timetables for the project.
OR~I~,~L
As the date for the initial spreading of the compost nears, an invitation to local,
regional and state interested parties, as well as local media will be extended
to visit The City of Bakersfield's Green Waste/Wood Waste Composting Facility
with an on-site observation of the planting and compost application featured.
Representatives from all cooperating parties need to be in attendance.
Because The Southern San Joaquin Valley boasts farming as its second largest
indust~, the application of an economical organic compost, produced by The
City of Bakersfield, to enhance the productivity of agricultural products, is
extreme/y news~vorthy. Likewise, water conservation continues to be a high
profile issue as water costs climb and water availability decreases. To
accommodate local interest, Press will be invited to report on the progress of
the demonstration throughout the duration of the project. A final news
conference will be held announcing results, showcasing crops, and featuring
compost.
An Educational Video will be produced documenting aft aspects of the
demonstration. Footage of the compostins facility, compost and water
application, crop planting, growth progress, data collection and crop harvest
as weft as footage of crops utilizing no compost (control plot) will be collected
throughout the duration of the project. This footage will be edited into an
Educational Video made available to The California Integrated Waste
Management Board, Farmers and Compost Producers, Municipalities,
Educators, Public and Commercial Television Stations, and other interested
parties.
To correspond with the educational video, printed material will be created
highlighting the results of the project including a review of the demonstration,
growth results, compost ingredients, nutritional value, cost, and availability. All
materials will be accessible to individuals, businesses, governmental agencies,
and not-for-profit organizations interested in the feasibility of producing,
promoting or utilizing such a product.
A.2 Tasks-
A. 2.1 Identify compost/mulch ingredients
The compost/mulch utilized for this demonstration is produced at The City of
Bakersfield's Green Waste/Wood Waste Recycling Facility, located on South
Mount Vernon Avenue in Bakersfield California. Ingredients for the Agri-blend
product is made from green waste and rain/manure mixed to obtain a 70%
green waste - 30% manure end product. The agri-blend product is completely
cornposted at the city's facility and will be transported to the test plots located
within a 30 mile radius.
A. 2.2 Detail equipment or method used to apply compost/mulch for large
scale commercial agricultural crop production.
The compost will be applied using large volume compost spreaders. These
spreaders are standard in the indust~/ and apply compost at specific rates over
large acreages.
A.2.3 Detail how the proposed project will be accomplished and what
crops will be produced.
Four Kern County Farmers wi// each designate an 80 acre parcel of property in
which specific crops are scheduled for planting within the 1994 - 1995
calendar year. Each parcel will be sectioned out into 4 - 20 acre plots in which
compost will be applied in varying tonnages, including one 20 acre plot where
no compost will be applied. Target crops are carrots, lettuce, sugar beets and
cotton.
Within each of the 80 acre parcels, I of the 20 acre plots will have compost
applied at the rate of 3 tons per acre, h~,o tons per acre will be applied in plot
2 and I ton per acre in plot 3. The fourth plot will have no compost applied.
Each parcel will then be planted. As the crop matures, information on
germination rates, plant growth, crop production, and water usage will be
gathered on all plots including the control.
Germination rates will be determined on the number of seeds sprouting in a
100 foot section of the row. A minimum of five - 100 foot sections will be
sampled in each plot. The 100 foot sections will be selected on a random
basis.
P/ant growth data will be gathered at 15, 30, 45, and 60 day intervals following
initial planting. A sample of 10 plants per study plot will be collected and
measured at each time interval with measurements noted in millimeters. Plants
will be gathered from locations throughout the study plot on a random basis.
General observations of root structure, stem size, leaf color, and overall
appearance will also be noted.
Each farmer will help provide information regarding water usage and crop
production on a per plot basis.
Following the harvest of each crop, all data will be collated, evaluated, and
summarized, with results published. This information will be distributed
throughout the farming community using The Kern County/;arm Bureau as
the coordinating/disseminating agency. The Kern County/;arm Bureau and
The City o! Bakersfield will further distribute findings to the general public and
other interested parties/agencies.
A.2.4 Detail the process to assure municipal compost producers will
provide a product acceptable to agricultural users.
The City of Bakersfield has been cooperatively producing cornposted material
with Wood Recovery Systems Inc. of Fresno since January of 1991. This
material has maintained end-user markets since its inception.
The product to be used for purposes of this demonstration is made from green
waste and manure set into windrows and composted at the Green Waste/Wood
Waste Recycling Site. Approximately 1400 lbs. of green waste is mixed with
400 lbs. of manure to produce 1000 lbs. of finished producL The windrows are
watered and tumed as necessary. Temperatures of 140 to 160 degrees are
maintained in windrowed material to insure adequate pathogen and weed
destruction of the product, with an average duration of six to eight weeks to
achieve maturation.
The City of Bakersfield and Wood Recovery System's proven track record
with each commodity produced at the site is indicative of the continued level
of excellence to be given to this demonstration:
- Composted wood fines material is shipped, on a weekly basis, to
Super Soil, one of the largest producers of household potting soil in the
United States. To preserve this contract, a high level of quality standards
needed to be met and sustained. City cornposted material is the primary
bulking agent for "Super Soil'', with the buyer accepting all that is
currently produced.
- A second product, a completely composted yard waste/green waste
mulch, is being sold and distributed as a top dressing/soil amendment
to schools and businesses throughout the area. This product is also
being marketed for residential use through a local company called The
Bulk Yard. Local/andscapers and residents are able to purchase the
material directly at the city's facility.
- The thiro product, a cornposted yard waste/manure mix, is ideal for
agricultural use as a mulch/fertilizer. This commodity possesses
beneficial nutritional attributes, while remaining 100% organic. This
"Agri-blend" material is the proposed compost to be used and studied
in this demonstration.
All of the above products are tested as per State regulations at Soil and Plant
Laboratories in Santa Clara, California for product quality and required
standards.
A.2.5 State how this project will benefit California agriculture.
This project will benefit California agriculture by providing information
documenting proper compost application rates for specific crops to yie,d the
greatest productivity. Additional information as to the benefits of compost
produced from a mix of municipal green waste and manure will likewise result,
with a cost comparison developed in relation to other products used in the
agricultural industry.
A.2.6 Describe potential for commercial application of compost/mulch
in agriculture.
This demonstration will document the advantages of compost usage in large
scale agricultural operations and will add to the existing literature the proper
application rates of compost for specific crops. This project, in addition to
markets The City of Bakersfield has already developed, will show that
products derived from a green waste/manure mix have a larger market potential
than existing 100% manure products. (This is discussed in detail in next
section.)
A.2, 7 Depict how project will demonstrate the agronomic merit and cost
effectiveness of compost/mulch use in agriculture.
Through the use of control plots, (sections where compost is not applied), we
will be able to record the benefits of a green waste/manure compost in relation
to crop production and water retention. The advantage of a product produced
from a green waste/manure mix is the addition of the organic material derived
from green waste. Initial growth studies conducted by Wood Recovery
Systems indicate that seeds germinate at a higher rate and plants grow at a
faster measure when grown in substrate containing this type of organic matter.
Evidence indicates that plants prefer substrates with high /eveIs of organic
matter and naturally occurring nitrogen to those substrates in which organic
materials are supplemental to a relatively inert planting medium.
Using information gleaned from the initial growth studies conducted by Wood
Recovery Systems, the project team is confident that this blend of materials
will prove to be superiorto the 100% manure products and/or chemical fertilizer
traditionally used in agricultural applications. We propose that benefits will be
seen in germination rates, plant growth, crop production, and water usage.
The potential dollar savings in relation to reduced water usage could cover the
entire cost of applying this type of product.'
Using cotton as an example: If an acre of cotton requires two-acre feet of
water at a cost of $111.80 per acre foot*, water costs of raising an acre of
cotton is $223.60. If, by applying compost, a farmer would use 20% less water,
a gross savings of approximately $45.00 would be realized (20% of $223.60).
If a farmer applied ~vo tons of compost per acre at a cost of $15.50 per ton to
realize that 20% reduction in water usage, a net savings of $14.00 per acre
would be realized (2 x $15.50 = $31.00 per acre compost cost, $45.00 water
cost less $31.00 compost cost = $14.00 savings).
* information obtained from Wheeler Ridge - Maficopa Water Storage District.
A.3 Summary of Experience -
A.3.1 Provide cooperative team's relative experience that increases the
likelihood of the project's success.
The City of Bakersfield staff brings to the project a myriad of experience:
Mike Sides holds a Bache/or of Science Degree in Biology and a BS Degree
in Health Science both from California State University - Bakersfield. He is
licensed in the State of California as a Public Health Microbiologist and as an
Environmental Health SpecialisL Mike spent 11 years in the Environmental
Health Department for The County of Kern, finishing his tenure with the county
as Program Manager in non-hazardous waste. Now celebrating his sixth year
with The City of Bakersfield, Mike leads the City Staff as Superintendent of The
Sanitation Division.
Greg Sanders, Assistant Superintendent for the division, developed an interest
in agriculture at a young age. His father was a farmer in the Mettier, California
area, raising cotton, melons, sugar beets, alfalfa and the like. Greg graduated
from CaI-Poly with a degree in Environmental Biology. Employment as a
scientist with The Smithsonian Institute and The National Audobon Society gave
Greg exposure to cutting edge studies and allowed him the opportunity to
publish numerous articles. Greg returned to Kern County in 1988 as The
Recycling Coordinator for The County of Kern, and moved over to the city in the
same capacity in 1990. Greg was promoted to the Assistant Superintendent
position in October of 1993.
Mary Beth Garrison, Recycling Supervisor for The City of Bakersfield holds a
BA Degree in Communications from The University of Wisconsin - Eau C/a/re.
She has worked in educational and commercial television for 15 years,

Science degree in Business Administration, years of industry experience and
active participation in local and state solid waste committees to successfully
operate Wood Recovery Systems, Inc of which he is President and CEO.
Ron Hellend received his BS degree and MS degree in Biology from California
State University - San Diego. Ron remains active as a Consulting Arborist to
Southem California Edison Company and brings to the team 25 years in wood
waste recycling and cornposting.
The Kern County Farm Bureau has a long history of being a positive force in
the agricultural community. In addition to promoting Kern County agriculture
statewide, they provide educational services to area growers. Additionally, The
Farm Bureau remains a strong lobbying force for local farmers, acting as a
liaison in Sacramento. They supply support to local growers by offering
services such as agricultural pesticide collection days and the like. Their
backing and expertise of this demonstration is invaluable as we seek to market
organic compost statewide.
Four Local Farmers are the bread and butter of this project. These successful
growers represent grass roots farming within The Southern San Joaquin Valley.
Their enthusiasm completes the circle of a team destined for success.
A.4 Work Schedule.
A.4.1 Proposed project initiation date.
This project will be initiated in the late summer to early fail of 1994. Timing is
dependent on planting of targeted fall crops and weather conditions.
A.4.2 Identify major milestones, such as, project meetings end media
outreach that will support this project.
Upon acceptance of the grant application, final planning meetings with all~
cooperating parties will commence. Media outreach will begin in July of 1994.
At this time, product preparation will begin and a media event will be hosted
to explain the purpose and process of the demonstration. All cooperators will
attend and participate. This type of outreach will continue when:
1. Compost is applied.
2. Germination rates are evaiuated.
3. P/ants are measured.
4. Crops are harvested.
A.4.3 List events or issues that will impact the successful initiation and/or
completion of the proposed project.
Weather has the potential to impact the successful initiation and/or completion
of the project, as does crop loss due to natural disaster or insect infestation.
The potential for these types of problems is considered to be remote.
