Be erty Price Inspector Signature: Secondary Inspectors): Inspection Summary: The facility appears to be well maintained. Phone: a94- q(A Date: '7 The waste consists of approximately I% manure and 99% shavings. The horse owners pick the manure from the stalls during shows and place it in the concrete storage bins. At the end of the shows, the remaining beddingimanure is scraped from the stalls and remains covered in the bams until it is loaded on trucks and transported off site. WNC Agriculture Center employees haul all of the waste to local dairies for bedding. Question #3. There are two 2 -sided concrete storage bins; the remainder are three -sided. A stonnwater drain is located approximatety halfway between the two 2 -sided storage bins that could receive contaminated wastewater iflwhen the bins are full. It is recommended that a berm or third side be added to these structures. Question #21. A waste analysis is required and should be provided to third party recipients. See permit condition 111.2. The written agreements between the facility and third parties should be updated. See permit conditions 1.4. and 11.6. The maintenance records should be updated to include facility inspections.
