Scientific Advisory Council

The Scientific Advisory Council (SAC) was appointed the task of recommending analytical procedures to insure the quality and safety of composts produced in the Sumter County composting facility.  The contractual requirements of the SAC were to:

  • Recommend environmental testing of feedstocks and products to UF/IFAS
  • Consult established standards, including those set for drinking water, and the parameters listed in the EPA CFR Part 258, Appendices I and II.
  • Consult other appropriate data and then designate the parameters and types of analyses for those environmental measures judged to be important to the feedstocks and products.

    • The SAC has produced the following Report, which contains its recommendations, satisfying all the contractual requirements of its creation. You can view the report here:   SAC Protocol
