IV. Inspector Comments
V. PHOTOGRAPHS
Photo 1: View of former Radio Shack building facing north.
The former Radio Shack property is currently being used for storage by National Wiper
Alliance, operating at the Owen Manufacturing BF property (BFID# 16046-12-011),
approximately 0.5 miles to the south. During meeting with the SHE Manager of
National Wiper Alliance (Mr. John Hodges), we discussed off-site storage of materials at
the Radio Shack facility. Mr. Hodges did not attend inspection, although there were
site employees there that provided access, and the inspection confirmed that the
property was being used as described by Mr. Hodges.
