The computer checks the database and assigns the next appropriate facility identification number. The inspector can enter the background information into the database before going on the inspection. When the record is saved into the database, the inspector has the option of printing out a hard copy for the file. Data integrity is preserved by using both electronic and paper copies. Values saved in the facility background information can be updated as needed.
Inspectors print out two forms to be used during the inspection.
The inspector completes the facility inspection using the generated forms. Both forms allow for any comments or personal observations noted during the inspection. Checklist is a three-page form. The inspector can sit down with the facility representative and go over their Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan item by item. The relevant background information is automatically filled out when the form is printed.
