General Comments
Comments The facility is mostly operated within a building. Some materials are stored
on asphalt pavement outside. Netting can be deployed during wind events
to reduce Windblown litter. At the time of the inspection the netting had not
been deployed and litter was blowing on the property. According to Jeff
Clark, Windblown litter is picked up weekly. Signage with emergency
contact information was not posted. The facility will order signage and send
photos.
