All application haul trucks will have a copy of the permit and the spill plan present in the vehicles during the LA event. Monitoring Wells are not required as part of this permit. Soil samDles were collected before LA event. There appears to be adeauate separation between the surface and the top of groundwater. The fields appeared to be in good condition. All animals have been removed from the fields where residuals are scheduled to be applied. MRO staff observed the fields being buffered. All surface water and drainaae features were adeauatelv buffered to avoid residual material from entering any onsite surface water features. PAN was not reviewed during the site visit. TCLP analytical data should be forwarded to the MRO upon receipt of the results. Page 4 of 4
