The wastewater treatment plant, Building 575, used sulfur dioxide to reduce chromium (VI) to chromium (III). A leaking gasket in the system resulted in sulfur dioxide escaping the system. The incident occurred approximately four years prior to this 2011 inspection. The employer did not prepare a report with regards to the incident investigation. This condition exposed employees to a sulfur dioxide hazard. Abatement Note: Abatement certification is required for this item (See enclosed "Sample Abatement-Certification Letter").-Certification
