She conducted and inspection of our facility to see if we are compliant with current <br />regulations. Overall, she said we do a good job with our pesticide program. There were a few <br />areas that we needed to address. They are: <br />1. Provide a written pesticide release response plan. (This has been completed.) <br />2. Store chemicals in a fireproof locker capable of containing all chemicals stored inside it. <br />(Storage locker has been ordered.) <br />3. Provide minimum double check valve when triple rinsing empty containers. (This has been <br />ordered.) <br />I expect to have numbers two and three completed by mid- December. <br />Those are Novembers highlights.
