At that time <br />we discussed this issue with the facility operator and instructed him to insure that the <br />additive was being properly introduced to all of the loads being transferred to the storage <br />tanks. Currently, the operator and other personnel monitor the transfer of all loads and <br />make certain the additive is properly introduced. <br /> <br />You contacted me in November and indicated that comments concerning odors were still <br />being received. I discussed this with the operator again. He thought that a certain type of <br />asphalt cement might be causing some problems.
