IV. Inspector Comments

V. PHOTOGRAPHS

Photo 1: Concrete slabs stockpiled prior to being reduced into aggregate.

Site Inspection performed because of a citizen report that soil transportation to or from
the site was taking place. An unannounced Site Inspection was performed, and Mr. Bill
Fisher with Complete Dismantling Inc., was questioned if these practices were taking
place. Mr. Fisher was aware of the restrictions outlined in the April 28, 2020, Soils
Disturbance/Demolition Approval letter (a hard copy was left with Mr. Fisher), and he
indicated that no soil had left or been brought onto the property. Based on the
demolition practices observed, the interview with Mr. Fisher, and the existing grade of
the property, the inspector saw no evidence that there was any soil movement violation
as outlined in the Soils Disturbance/Demolition Approval letter referenced above (Photos
4 and 5).
