Inspection Date: 12/06/2022 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
A full compliance inspection was not cunducted. The site is located on the same parcel as an adjacent facility that was
recieving a compliance evaluation. The site conditions noted at the Meherrin Forest Products site were of concern.
Pollution Prevention and Good Housekeeping measures do not appear to be being implemented onsite. There are concerns
about murkey water and floatables noted in water leaving the site. DMRs for 2022 are not available in the Laserfiche Public
Portal. Totes and laydown/rusted materials are stored throughout the site. Wood product/materials are stored in several
areas throughout the site. In some areas these materials were sitting in puddled water. Outfall(s) did not appear to be
labeled. Materials/products/waste were stored along/near water channels observed onsite.
Jeremy Bright, General Manager, was contacted during the visit. The personell responsible for the SWPPP and DMRs was
not available so it was agreed the documentation would be provided via email. A follow up inspection will occurr in a few
weeks.
