M. Recommendations: (Response not required)
1. The Mooresville Regional Office has commented that they have never met the ORC Dennis Key
at any permitted facility or land application site. They recommend that U.S. Biosolids, Inc. reassess
the best person for the ORC designation and submit an updated Operator Designation Form as
necessary.
2. There is a typo in the word "Immediately" in the first sentence of the spill response plan.
The extra breaks on the process narrative sheet make it difficult to follow. Recommend removing
this spacing.
