Inspection Date: 12/10/2019 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
On December 10, 2019 this facility was inspected for compliance. I met with Marc Homey on site. During the inspection, the
following items were noted:
1) Visible accumulations of industrial product was observed at the loading/pump out area where the trucks connect to the
building via hoses. These visible accumulations of industrial material is not allowed under the facility No Exposure
Certification. To maintain coverage, the process and housekeeping in that area must be modified to prevent further exposure.
2) Used pallets were observed exposed to precipitation. Exposure of used pallets is not allowed under the facility No
Exposure Certification. To maintain coverage, the process must be modified to prevent further exposure.
3) A lock was not provided for the drain valve in the secondary containment area. The No Exposure Certification requires that
the drain for secondary containment remain closed and locked. To maintain coverage under the certification, a lock must be
provided for the containment area.
This facility will be re -inspected on or after January 22, 2020, if the above items have not been addressed, further action will
be taken.
