| 13281 | 763813e38f647108 | 3.75(f) | 0 | HOUSING FACILITIES, GENERAL. | - There was standing water and a large amount of waste and old food in a drainage ditch along one entire exterior side of the primate medical building. The standing water is a result of the waste removed from the inside portion of their enclosures. There are drain pipes from the indoor portion of the enclosures that drain into an approximately 2 foot wide area directly behind the medical building. The primate shift area is directly above this drainage area, and the outside portion of this primate enclosure is adjacent to this standing water. This is essentially an open sewer, and is present due to facility employees not maintaining this drainage ditch in a proper manner. Improper drainage systems and standing water where the animals are contained may result in noxious odors, spreading of diseases, insect infestation and other health hazards. All pens housing animals must have an adequate drainage system that is able to eliminate standing water and waste more rapidly for the overall health of the animals. Corrected during inspection. |
