Inspection Summary:
On March 2, 2021 this facility was inspected for compliance. I met with Vonia Walther on site. No major issues were
observed during the inspection. It is recommended that the secondary containment on site be evaluated and perhaps tested
to confirm the integrity of containment. No standing water was observed in one containment structure at the time of the
inspection, while several others were holding water from recent rain events.
