Exhibit A If the application has satisfied all of the above requirements, Participant Agency and/or its inspector will work with Applicant to schedule the mandatory on-site post-inspection. The purpose of the on-site post-inspection is to serve as an independent verification of the information contained in the application. For commercial sites that are also participating in the Turf Removal Program and inspected by Metropolitan’s inspection contractor, Participant Agency is required to perform the on-site post-inspection for the Spray-to Drip portion of the project. As part of the on-site post-inspection, Participant Agency/inspector must verify the following: •The actual square footage of the conversion area. All commercial spray-to-drip sites will be measured by the Participant Agency and or its inspector for 100% of the sites for 100% of the spray-to-drip conversion areas during the post-inspections. The required minimum techniques for area measurements are described in Section V -Measurement Techniques. •That drip irrigation equipment has been installed. The type of drip equipment (embedded emitter tubing/microspray/point source emitters) must be noted and photographed. Please note that ineligible equipment, such as point source emitters, would invalidate the project. •That pressure regulation/filtration components have been installed as part of the drip conversion. Manufacturer/make, model, model number/SKU, and quantity should be documented, and the equipment should be photographed. • • That drip tubing has been installed. The drip tubing should be photographed. If covered, a minimum of a 20-foot section must be uncovered for the photograph. That spray irrigation is no longer functional in the drip conversion area(s). Any remaining spray heads in the conversion area must be capped (no exceptions). Once the on-site post inspection is complete, the inspector will complete the Post Inspection, in full, and upload all photos and documentation. Once the Post Inspection Form has been submitted, it will be reviewed by MWDOC, along with copies of all receipts and invoices, andif the spray-to-drip project has satisfied all the terms, conditions, guidelines, and requirements ofthe program, the application will be processed for rebate. If all the terms, conditions, guidelines,and requirements of the program have not been satisfied, the post-inspection will be considereda fail, and the application will be denied and no rebate funds will be issued. MWDOC reserves the right to conduct or attend any on-site post-inspection of any Spray-to Drip application should MWDOC, in its best judgment, deem it necessary to do so. V. Measurement Techniques- On Site When measuring sites, tape measurers remain the most accurate method of measurement. Measuring wheels are nearly as accurate when rolling on a flat surface such as concrete or asphalt. Measuring wheels on turf or shrub areas run the risk of being inaccurate. Tape measurers are recommended whenever uneven surfaces are encountered. For large sites, a map should be provided indicating all the turf areas intended for removal and all project areas should be
