(c) Surfaces(cid:20)(1) General requirements...(i) Be free of excessive rust ***In the outdoor facility, there was one enclosure containing two adult dogs. The bottom railing of the chain link pipe is rusted through in two places. The rusted area under the housing shelter was pitted and flaky. Excessive rust cannot be cleaned and sanitized as required. It increases the risk for disease by creating a harboring place for germs, can cause sharp edges that can injure the animals and can cause damage to the structural strength of the enclosure. The licensee must repair or replace these areas and assure that the primary enclosures are free of excessive rust as required. To be corrected by February 24, 2015.
