Inspection Summary:
On April 7, 2021, WSRO staff conducted an inspection of the subject facility. Mr. Jimmy Boles and Mr. Chad Whitherspoon
both with LP Corp. accompanied staff on the inspection. The activiies reviewed during the inspection reflect compliance with
the permit. The only deficiency observed is the continued nitrate levels >2L limits in the groundwater monitoring of former
dedicated land application fields. Below is a summary of notes from this inspection.
• The facility continues to produce no residuals and no land application activities under this permit Reportedly the last
residuals activities conducted under this permit was in May 2020.
• The facility continues to conduct groundwater monitoring of former dedicated land application fields as required in the
Attachment C of the permit.
• Data reviewed during the inspection suggests that MW-1, MW-5 and MW-9 are the only wells that continue to indicate
elevated nitrate levels. MW-4 and MW-6 are consistently below the 2L limit for nitrate. See field map sketch for locations
and notes from inspection.
• The facility is still in the process of conducting the investigation of elevated nitrate levels in groundwater at the former
dedicated land application fields as required in the schedules section of the permit. Reminded representatives that the
investigation report and a corrective action plan are due on or before May 17, 2021.
Follow up inspection is needed for site review once the investigation and corrective action plan are reviewed.
