ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. On February 15, 2017, a complaint was received from Jeff Warner, Fire Captain, City of Winston-Salem via
telephone concerning Liquid Environmental Solutions of Georgia (LES). He stated that the smell was terrible this morning and has been bad for the last 30 days.

2. I (Troy Harrison), contacted Michael Settle, Forsyth County Office of Environmental Assistance and Protection (Forsyth County) and informed him of the complaint. Stephen Berry and Daniel Seagraves both of Forsyth
County conducted an investigation at approximately 11:05 AM. The report states:
“2/15/17 – Stephen Berry and Daniel Segraves (investigators) investigated the complaint; investigators arrived
at the location at approximately 11:05am. Offensive odor was detected immediately at the intersection of Clemmonsville Road and Palmer Lane. Wind direction was generally from the east-northeast to the west-southwest; odor was most prevalent at the southeast corner of the facility’s property line (intersection of
Palmer Lane and Rothrock Street). Investigators drove to the northern limit of Palmer Lane and detected no odor; investigators left Palmer Lane
at approximately 11:11am. Investigators also traveled to Rhyne Street (west of facility) and no odor was detected. Investigators left the area at approximately 11:20am.
At the time of the investigation, a Valley Protein tanker truck was unloading product. Another Liquid Environmental tanker (without truck cab) was situated adjacent to the silos and next to (northwest of) the
unloading dock. No photos were obtained at the time of investigation.”
3. On 2/16/2017 at 11:40 AM, I spoke with Jim Mayberry, Process Facilities Manager, LES concerning the
complaint. I asked if there has been any change in the operation, he stated that only the volume has increased. I
also asked if the facility was following the “odor control plan” and he said that they were.
Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
