At that time, I presented DTSC identification to the security personnel at the entrance and asked to see the environmental manager. We were instructed by the security to park in the visitor parking and enter the reception lobby to wait for the environmental manager. At approximately 9:55, Mr. Xiaosong Wang, Ph.D. met us in the lobby. At that time I asked Dr. Wang if I had his consent to conduct an inspection which will include photographs, observations, and possibly samples. He provided consent and we returned to our car to retrieve personal protective equipment before beginning the inspection.
