Inspection Summary
The facility was in good order and very clean. All documentation required by the permit was available except for the last
three years of spill Recommend a sheet be added to the SP3 to document spills or the lack of spills for the last three
years While walking the site along the North parimeter and on the train tracks a aquantity of food products were spilled that
was known to have been spilled there but had not immediately been cleaned up. being an area with a high probability of
such spills I ask that the entire length of the track located on the facility property receive regular inspections. If a spill is
detected it should be immediately cleaned up and the spill should be documented accordingly. additionally. a number of
washout ares were noted in the rip rap ditch running to SDO-5. These washouts should be repaired and permanently
stabilized The facility has made positive improvements to the facility that they should take credit for in thier feasibility
studies
