The visual inspections should consist of a complete walk-through of the facility property to check the drums and totes for signs of damage or leakage, ensure the covers are properly secured, check for stained or discolored soils, and to ensure complete site security. Any problems or leaks identified by the visual inspection should be promptly addressed and remedied.
