Technical Assistance Visits. The CONTRACTOR will conduct technical assistance site visits to small quantity generators of dangerous wastes, and to businesses or organizations that have the potential to pollute stormwater. Approximately 60% of the visits will be Initial Visits. If Initial Visits fall below 60%, combined Initial Visits and Follow-up Visits must account for at least 80% of the total visits. While necessary, efforts should be made to minimize Screening Visits. • An Initial Visit occurs at the actual site and results in a completed ‘checklist’ (or enough data gathered to complete data entry into the LSC database). It will either be the first complete visit to a site OR the first visit in two or more years. • A Screening Visit is an attempted visit to the site, but the business declined or put off the visit, OR you were interrupted during the visit and were unable to gather complete data, OR you discover that the facility does not exist anymore OR you discover that the business does not qualify for a visit under the PPA program (e.g. it is a medium or large quantity generator). • A Follow-Up Visit should occur within 90 days of the Initial Visit. Follow-up should generally be done through an on-site visit. However, a phone conversation, mail or email exchange may count as a Follow-Up Visit if it includes confirmation that the issues that were identified in the initial visit were resolved. Follow-up Visits must be conducted to resolve High Priority Environmental Issues (See section below).
Technical Assistance Visits. The contractor will conduct technical assistance visits at small generators of dangerous wastes, and businesses or organizations that have the potential to pollute stormwater. Depending upon a jurisdiction’s conditions, approximately 60% of the visits will be initial (i.e., small businesses or organizations that have never been visited, or have not received a LSC visit within two or more years). The balance of visits will be return visits to resolve high priority environmental issues; see Table 3.
