The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results, which were discussed on May 15, 2009 with Mr. G. Boerschig and other members of your staff. A telephone re-exit was conducted on June 16, 2009, with Mr. C.

The information you provide will be considered in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0305.
