Inspection Summary:
During the inspection Lanxess staff brought to my attention that pesticide operations are no longer part of the Lanxess
division however, based on current operations I recommend reissuing the new permit with the same monitoring parameters.
According to Lanxess staff, no other siginficant facility or operational alterations have occurred since the previous permit was
issued. The Lanxess staff were courteous and all required documentation was provided in a timely manner.
