. Photographs for each inspection will be cataloged and managed by each inspector and regularly reviewed by the project manager. Faeility InspectionslRe-inspections Geomatrix will continue to conduct field inspections of commercial and industrial facilities to evaluate compliance with applicable local surface water quality regulations and related BMPs. Inspections will be completed in accordance with requirements set forth in Section 9 of the 2003 Orange County DAMP and Santa Ana's LIP. Inspection Program Notification letters will be sent to facilities at least one week prior to performing the inspection. To facilitate efficient data entry, Geomatrix will continue to utilize tablet computers to collect information in the field. Data collected and input on the tablets in the field will be transferred directly to the database. Through the use of the database and tablet computers, Geomatrix was able to complete a significantly higher number of inspections than were completed in previous years by the City. If, during the course of our facility inspections, we observe a clischarge that may pose a potential threat to human health or the environment, we will promptly notify the City via telephone. Within two business days we will provide the City appropriate documentation of the incident to complete and submit a written report to the R\'VQCB. For incidents that do not pose a threat to human health or the environment, we will submit documentation with 5 business days. We regularly provide this type of notification and response to the City of i\naheim related to illicit clischarges within their jurisdiction. Complaint Responses/Enforcement In adclition to the industrial/ commercial facility inspections, we will provide personnel to investigate and respond to complaints related to the City's Water Pollution Regulations.
