A license will not be issued until renewal forms are received and fees have been paid. As stated in Board History , previous section, the Board employs Professional Engineers to perform inspections for the Board. Currently, we have five contract inspectors who perform the bulk, of the inspections for the Board. In June, the area operators are mailed a copy of the upcoming licensing season's inspection schedule. This schedule identifies who the inspector will be for each area and how to contact him.
Several areas operate tramways only during the summer months for foot passengers.
This is a surprise inspection performed during the operating season which focuses on the tramway's operation and maintenance. Again, the inspector submits an inspection report which is forwarded to the licensee. By Board rule, the licensee has ten days to respond to the deficiencies noted in the inspection report and describe in an notarized letter how each deficiency was corrected. Areas are required to notify the Board of those tramways which will be operated during the summer and the dates of operation. A summer unannounced inspection is then performed to assure that the specific requirements in the Board's Rules and Regulations relative to this type of operation are being observed.
