Inspection Summary:
Conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection as follow up to a recent tank failure at the facility. Met with Chris Flemming,
Quinn Alexander, and Lyyn White, all of Nouryon.
Facility stormwater records were present for review. It is recommended that the site map be updated to show the entire site,
including outfalls. It is also recommended that an index or table of contents be added to the SWPPP to aid in review and
locating information. SWPPP annual review was slightly past due, however the facility reviewed and provided documentation
of the review on 9/12/24.
Qualitative and Analytical records were available for review and were up to date.
Training records were up to date.
It is recommended that the concrete joints in the flammable storage area be evaluated to determine if additional caulking or
sealing are needed.
As follow up to the recent tank failure, no sheen was observed at Outfall 4.
