On August 10, 2022, the EPA conducted a site visit at the Facility in Callaway, MN. EPA Inspectors Jason Hewitt and Jessica Stromsdorfer arrived at approximately 11:25 AM CST and were able to walk around the facility and capture photos. Inspectors observed some algae growth in the ponds and murky water. There was approximately 2' of freeboard and no apparent discharge, odor, or visible solids near discharge point. Inspectors left the area at approximately 11:45 AM CST. No areas of concern were identified during the inspection. EPA has determined that no further information is needed at this time.
