In the case of snow, windrows are created by snow plows as they plow streets. The windrow may block driveways. Some municipalities have windrow removal service where a smaller plow goes to each individual driveway to clear the windrow. Most cities simply make the home owner clear the windrow to their own driveway. A few cities will plow the windrow to the center of the street, blow the snow into trucks, and haul it away. 2, record 2, English, - windrow%20of%20snow

Biopiles, also known as biocells, bioheaps [and] biomounds ... are used to reduce concentrations of petroleum constituents in excavated soils through the use of biodegradation. This technology involves heaping contaminated soils into piles (or "cells") and stimulating aerobic microbial activity within the soils through the aeration and/or addition of minerals, nutrients, and moisture. The enhanced microbial activity results in degradation of adsorbed petroleum-product constituents through microbial respiration. 2, record 8, English, - biopile

Passive Aeration Windrow Composting. ... PAWS [Passively Aerated Windrow System] has two essential features, passive aeration and envelopment [...] The air in the middle of a compost pile or windrow is warmed up by the heat generated by oxidation of the waste by the decomposer organisms. Warm air naturally rises upwards and outwards of the composting mass. As nature abhors vacuum, the warm air is replaced by cooler air mostly from or through other parts of the compost, setting up a mostly internal circulation until the air is almost uniformly warm and oxygen-deficient thus creating anaerobic pockets that generate malodours. 3, record 14, English, - passive%20windrow%20composting

Temperature boundaries between the mesophilic (ambient temperatures, approximately 45° - 105° F) and thermophilic (high temperatures) ranges are not distinct and are reported differently by different experts. However, once the temperature in compost rises above 100°F, thermophilic microbial populations that can survive high temperatures begin to increase, while mesophilic populations decrease. 2, record 15, English, - mesophilic%20phase

Hay tedders are occasionally used by farmers to turn and fluff up windrows of hay to speed drying. Development of the side-delivery rake, much faster than the tedder, tended to make the latter obsolete. Side-delivery rakes move hay into a well-formed windrow from which it is usually baled by a pickup baler. 3, record 22, English, - side%2Ddelivery%20rake
