Inspection Summary:
It is recommended that representative outfalls be designated with signage or paint. A lock and chain should be installed on
the drain line valve connected to the outside bulk chemical storage tank containment. This will ensure the drain valve stays
in the closed position. Totes located in the rear of facility near the parking lot should be covered to prevent rainfall from
refilling the totes via holes cut in the tops.
