SECTION I - INTRODUCTION
Site Entry/Opening Conference and Inspection Objectives
EPA Region 5 Inspectors, Ellie DeMilt and Cheryl Burdett, arrived at Scott's Service Place (the "Facility"), located at 110 Bridge St, Wheaton, IL, at 3:05 PM CT on November 19, 2024 for an unannounced inspection. EPA Region 5 Lead Inspector Ellie DeMilt presented credentials to Scott Parsons. EPA Region 5 Lead Inspector Ellie DeMilt informed the facility representatives that this was a US EPA Region 5 Industrial User Screening Inspection to gather information on the facility, its industrial processes, its generation and management of on-site industrial process wastewater and any on-site pretreatment systems to treat process wastewater prior to discharge or disposal as authorized by Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 308 and implementing regulations. Following the presentation of credentials, the EPA representatives conducted an opening conference with the Facility representatives (See table below). Lead Inspector Ellie DeMilt stated the purpose of the inspection again and explained that they would be completing a checklist of operational questions. In addition to the review of questions, EPA inspectors discussed the right of Scott's Service Place to claim Confidential Business Information (CBI) on any document shared with EPA during or after the inspection. Scott's Service Place did not make any CBI claims during or after the inspection.
This report is based on information supplied by Scott's Service Place representatives, direct observations made by the EPA Region 5 inspector(s), and records and reports maintained by the Facility and Region 5 including: verbal or written statements provided by Facility representatives during or subsequent to the inspection; and materials, process information, data, or other documents shown, demonstrated, or submitted to the EPA Region 5 inspectors by Facility representatives during or subsequent to the on-site Inspection. In addition, information gathered prior to or subsequent to the Inspection from a review of EPA, State, and/or public records may be included in this report.
