Permit: NCO072664 Owner - Facility: Shurtape Technologies, LLC - Stony Point Tape Plant
Inspection Date: 11/12/04 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
LabOratory Yes No NA NF
Comment: All lab work was in order at the time of the inspection with the acception of the pH meter. Upon inspection of
the meter's calibrations it was noted that the pH check, after standardization, was off by 0.3. The concern was brought
up that the pH meter was calibrated in the morning and then checked against a mid -range standard in the afternoon
giving the meter an opportunity to turn off. Calibration may not have been maintained in the interim period. Mr.
Brannon was advised to address this issue post haste through his pH meter manual and with Mr. Chet Whiting of this
office if necessary,
