General Comments
Comments Most of the operations at this facility are conducted within a building. Some
materials are stored outside on asphalt pavement which allows for
windblown litter. Litter was observed during the inspection. Jeff Clark
indicated that litter is cleaned up a few times per month by facility
employees. This facility accepts materials from commercial businesses and
not from the private sector. The facility did not have a sign with emergency
numbers posted. They will order a sign and sent a photo once it is posted.
