From MDE Land and Materials Administration inspection data. An inspection record and the site condition noted are an inspector's observation on that date; they are not a finding of fault, an enforcement order or a penalty, and many issues are corrected quickly. Only sites operated under a company or public-body name are included. Verify with MDE and the linked inspection report.
