Roseville Soils Testing Annual Report: Year 1 <br />December 29, 2022 <br />Page 6 <br />Compost Soil Amendment <br />Twleve volunteers spread compost in a thin layer over much of the project site on October 15, 2022. All the top-dressing <br />test areas received about half-inch of compost, but the control areas were left free of the amendment. Application was <br />easier in areas that had been recently mowed. <br />Compost was not spread directly in the swale within fifty feet of the stormwater inlet to prevent negative impacts to <br />stormwater quality. The compost was provided by Ramsey / Washington Recycling & Energy and came from the SMSC <br />Organic Recycling Facility near Shakopee. It is mostly food waste compost that was highly screened. <br />Next steps <br />Soil testing for basic fertility and infiltration will take place in October 2023. Compost will be added by topdressing <br />volunteers in October of 2023. Final soil health testing will take place in October of 2024. Annual reports will be <br />submitted to the city of Roseville in December of 2023 and 2024. <br /> <br />Qbhf!:!pg!63 <br /> <br />
