Inspection Summary:
Melissa Joyner met with Mr.Gerardo Berrizbeitia, Plant Manager at the Pack IQ facility. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan (SPPP) was reviewed. The site map should be modified to indicate the percentage of each drainage area which is
impervious. The annual Employee Training records should be dated. A list of significant spills or leaks or the notation that
none have occurred should be documented in the SPPP. The Best Management Practices Summary should be reviewed
and updated annually. Also, the facility and all stormwater systems should be inspected semi-annually as part of the
Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Program. The Analytical Monitoring records were reviewed. No
monitoring occurred in the first period of 2019. Qualitative Monitoring has not been conducted. The two Outfalls were
inspected with no issues noted.
