To provide for the proper accommodation of inspections by government authorities, each facility will establish appropriate procedures incorporating the following:

 Oral notices of impending inspections by environmental authorities are to be immediately communicated to the Chief of Compliance by telephone and followed as soon as possible with written confirmation.  All written notices of inspection received by a facility shall be forwarded to the Chief of Compliance immediately upon receipt.

To the extent practicable, government inspectors/auditors shall be received by the Chief of Compliance and the supervisor / manager of the facility and accompanied throughout the course of the inspection.  The Chief of Compliance shall subsequently prepare a report which shall include: the date and time of the inspection; the identity of the government inspector; the portions of the facility, facility equipment and operations that were inspected; the identity of the employees who accompanied the inspector or provided information to the inspector; the source and nature of the information provided; and a summary of the results of the inspection, including the issuance of any citations for regulatory violations or summaries relevant to compliance.

The Chief shall request copies of any notes, reports or written comments prepared by the inspector during the course of the inspection and such material shall be submitted to the appropriate Group Executive Director.  Notes, reports or written comments which indicate significant or serious noncompliance will also be reported to the Director of MES.

The facility shall implement, with the guidance of the Chief of Compliance, the Group Executive Director, and OAG, any operational or management changes which are deemed necessary as a result of the inspection.
