Inspection Summary:
Two spills were recorded in the past year and .the latest one was January 19, 2019. The latest spill has not been cleaned
and stormwater was in conact with the petroleum on the ground and running towards the outfall. It is recommended to clean
any spill as quickly as possible and to maintain absorbants on site until the spill can be cleaned. The facility has had
Copper and Zinc results above the benchmark limitations and is conducting Teir II monitoring. Additional monitoring is
recommended from the roof drains and a non-conact rain water sample to determine if montoring relief is an option. The
metal dumpster does not have a lid and there was a minor amount of copper wiring in the dumpster.
