Copies of prototype agreements with facilities or agreements with adjacent jurisdictions are acceptable; (D) An agreement that if a disagreement arises between applicant and any adjacent jurisdiction over who should provide complete services to a facility that crosses a jurisdictional line, the division may immediately assign the facility to any jurisdiction to provide complete inspection services covering the program under which there is a disagreement. If applicant is not assigned the authority, applicant shall cooperate in allowing the assigned jurisdiction to operate in its territory and in bringing any enforcement actions necessary involving that facility. (3) Files a master permit inspection operating plan briefly describing how the programs will be administered including: (a) Local policies and procedures for operating the program; (b) The certifications of each jurisdiction plans examiner and inspector assigned to the program including the person licensed as an engineer when required by ch. 368, 2003 Oregon Laws; (c) Accounting procedures.
