⚠ Gaps in the record
- OCR text layer noted as unreliable — all values verified against the page images.
- The facility representative listed in the letter as 'Dave Schnipke, Environmental Manager' appears on the form as 'David Schnipke, Environmental Compliance Manager' — both names recorded as printed in their respective documents.
- Permit Expiration Date of 2/28/2015 is before the inspection date, suggesting the permit may have been administratively continued; recorded as printed.
