ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 1. Reason for visit was to follow up on a fire notification. Fire was on 9/20/2020 and the notification was sent on 9/21/2020. When the notification was filled out it was put under the transfer station permit incorrectly. The
mulch/composting operation is currently a Yard Waste Notification. Someone saw the fire, reported it and fire department responded and put it out within about 30 minutes, based on speaking with Bryant Leggett. 2. Compost logs, including map of piles, date created and temperature were viewed while on site.
