FACILITY COMPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT Division of Waste Management Solid Waste Section Page 2 of 3 AREAS OF CONCERN AND COMMENTS: 1) “No Trespassing” sign present as you enter the site. 2) For the most part, the tanks were accessible for inspection. Be sure to keep a 5 ft area around the tanks free of vegetation and debris so that the tanks can be inspected. 3) Most of the tanks appeared to be structurally sound except for the middle 6,500 gallons steel tank. The three – 6,500 gallons tanks are grouped together. The side of the center 6,500 gallons tank facing towards the office has multiple holes (see picture below). The holes need to be patched. 4) There are holes to the top of the first two 6,500 gallons tanks that previously had glass sight glasses. See picture below. There is currently nothing in those holes. Septage has flowed out of both holes. New sight glasses need to be placed in the holes or the holes need to be plugged immediately. 5) No objectionable odors or vector issues noticed. 6) The three – 6,500 gallons steel tanks appear to be used the most. The 31,500 gallons tank did not appeared to have been used recently. Multiple leaks noticed from the center 6,500 gallons tank along the side facing the office. The top sight glass is missing from the center 6,500 gallons tank. The top sight glass is missing from the first 6,500 gallons tank.
