Any items that do not comply with the environmental regulations must have a plan in place to rectify the issue and provide general permits for the different topics. EPA district offices should be contacted if the salvage yard has any questions on any failed requirements.

The compliance checklist will check procedures to regulate possible pollution do to possible open burning of scrap metal or used oil and/or the crushing or tearing of vehicles or scrap tires. Storage of freon, used oil, antifreeze, lead-acid batteries, or other hazardous waste should be checked for defective containers and possible spills or leaks.
