				lots, including dust and flying debris, so that they do not constitute a source
				of contamination in areas where food is exposed.
(3) Adequately draining areas that may
				contribute contamination to food by seepage, food-borne filth, or providing a
				breeding place for pests.
(4)
				Operating systems for waste treatment and disposal in an adequate manner so
				that they do not constitute a source of contamination in areas where food is
				exposed.
(5) If the plant grounds
				are bordered by grounds not under the operator's control and not maintained in
				the manner described in paragraph (a) (1) through (3) of this section, care
				shall be exercised in the plant by inspection, extermination, or other means to
				exclude pests, dirt, and filth that may be a source of food contamination.
