The Department also composted food waste with other organic material at the Fresh Kills Compost Site from 1991 to 1996, which was collected as part of the Brooklyn Intensive Zone Pilot in Park Slope. From 1993 to 1996, food waste was also collected as part of the Staten Island Institutional Pilot. Though these pilots came to an end, the Department continued composting landscaper and agency yard waste until again piloting food waste composting starting in 2012. The site has been operated by Denali Water Solutions, LLC (formerly WeCare Organics) since 2007 through a contract with DSNY.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>Upgrading to SG ADVANCED COMPOSTING\u2122 Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">To enhance environmental performance, DSNY and its consultants conducted a composting technology evaluation from 2014-2015 to determine the best retrofit solution for the facility. Several critical requirements were identified during the evaluation:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Compliance with stringent air quality standards, focusing on odor and VOC emissions reduction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Ensuring the separation of process water (leachate) from stormwater.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Producing high-quality compost.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">The SG BUNKER\u00ae System with GORE\u00ae Covers from Sustainable Generation, LLC was selected for its ability to meet these stringent requirements. SG partnered with GHD Engineers and Denali to design and implement the system.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr style=\"border-top: 4px #E2E5E4 dotted;\" \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>PROJECT GALLERY<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>SG BUNKER\u00ae System at the Staten Island Compost Facility<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-1064 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/sustainable-generation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/project-1.webp'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/sustainable-generation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/project-1.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"DENALI WATER -

It required careful planning and multiple construction stages to ensure the site\u2019s stability and regulatory compliance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Phase 2: Construction completed in May 2023, this phase involved building a 16 SG BUNKER\u00ae System.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Phase 3: SG provided on-site operator training and remote monitoring support to ensure a smooth transition during the initial operational phase, July 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Phase 4: Site is fully operational.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">The transformation of the Staten Island Compost Facility marks a significant step forward in sustainable urban waste management. By adopting the SG BUNKER\u00ae System with GORE\u00ae Covers, the facility now exceeds regulatory standards while increasing its capacity to process food waste and produce high-quality compost.
