2026 environmental audit and reported corrections
The audit inspected May 20, 2026 and was finalized August 10. It identified chemical segregation, safety-data-sheet and ignition-source control problems, plus irrigation beyond the stated daily limit. TFI’s July 30 annual review reported storage and safety-data-sheet corrections. Audit count inconsistencies prevent a single unqualified noncompliance total.
The audit’s different sections give inconsistent noncompliance totals.
Operator-reported correction is not independent corrective closure.
