BLUE WATER RESPONSE TEAM MEMBER
RESPONSE PROTOCOL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLAINTS
(For those complaints you are asked to inspect and those you find & report)

 

1. If you get called out, or see something, immediately take photographs and fill out an inspection sheet.

2. As soon as you can after gathering the information, forward the photos and sheet to me via email, snail mail or fax.

3. I will take that information, look it over and determine whether or not it is a "viable" environmental violation.

4. At that point, I'll either contact you for more information, or forward the inspection sheet + photos to the appropriate regulatory agency.

5. The regulatory agency will usually send someone out there to look at it.

6. After the regulatory agency looks into the alleged violation, they usually get back to me and let me know if a warning letter, etc was issued.

7. In turn, I will let the complainant and BWRT member involved know what happened.
