The only possible emissions sources are a wall heater and the fuel supply piping. Upon inspection it was discovered that this source was not registered with the DAQ. The DAQ did a spatial analysis and gave Scout a list of possible locations that were not permitted. 3 Upon review, Scout quickly registered those sources it found to be in error. No enforcement action recommended. RECOMMENDATION FOR NEXT INSPECTION: The DAQ has no recommendations for the next inspector other than what are customary. The DAQ was joined by Scout personnel during the site inspection. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NSR: None ATTACHMENTS: Email
