All records and log books appeared to be complete and organized. Calibration records appeared to be properly documented. The ORC visitation log was complete and current. Laboratroy data was reviewed for the month of September 2012 and all data appeared to be correct as reported on the DMR's. There were several deficiencies noted in the previous inspection and at the time of this inspection, all noted deficiencies have been addressed. Some have been completed and a couple are still in the process of being completed. One thing that was addressed in the previous inspection, as well as other previous inspections, is the need for preventive maintenance at the VWVfP dealing with the amount of corrosion at the facility. Some repairs and painting of the structures had been done, however, there is still more painting and repairs that need to be done. Failure to address these issues could evenutally result in failure of the facility's structural integrity.
