KEMRON developed and completed an inspection checklist for each site as to aid in the evaluation of potential environmental compliance requirements. Each location was surveyed and a thorough site reconnaissance performed. Management and employees at each location were interviewed and pertinent records reviewed.
The applicability and compliance status of each location relative to local, state and federal environmental regulations was reviewed. Included in the evaluation were: solid and hazardous waste management; SPCC (Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure) requirements; air emissions and permitting; storm water and process water management and permitting; raw materials storage and handling; and general observations on site housekeeping, spill or release potential, and environmental impacts noted.
A summary report of findings at each location with conclusions and recommendations was prepared. The information was used by the client’s legal staff in the development of standard internal procedures to be implemented at all company operating locations.
