Water-damaged mail and a worker found asleep on a forklift were among the issues found at a U.S. Postal Service facility by a watchdog.

The U.S. Postal Service’s inspector general investigated the facility in Richmond, Virginia, after it was turned into a new regional processing and distribution center. The watchdog found several problems in its investigation.
