Areas of the facility toured: Offload area Offload vault Evaporation ponds Tank storage
Data Collected and Observations: During the inspection, I observed that the netting over the offload vault was pulled back (see Attachment 1 - Photo Log). Mr. Baker stated that it was temporarily pulled back to accommodate repairs to the vault gate. On pond 1 (southernmost pond) and pond 3 (northernmost pond), I observed an emulsion on approximately 10% of the surface of the ponds. This material did not appear to present a threat to birds or other wildlife. No spills were observed in the tank battery area. No bird or other wildlife mortalities were observed in any areas of the facility that were inspected.
CLOSING CONFERENCE
A closing conference was conducted with Mr. Baker in which he stated that he would get the netting back into place over the vault.
