A backyard compost site or a small compost site must not be established or maintained in a manner such that it creates an unreasonably odorous or offensive condition including but not limited to pest or insect infestation or other nuisance, and any composting shall be suspended or terminated if at any time the local authority determines that such a nuisance exists or that conditions exist constituting a fire hazard or health hazard, or if there is a threat to surface or groundwater from run-off. The local authority may require individuals whose compost site and/or materials are not in compliance with this section to attend a composting or similar educational program as a condition of continuing to compost on property which has been determined to be in violation of this chapter.
