(3) An inspector will complete an inspection report which will include information regarding whether defects or violations observed in the field necessitate the development of a corrective action plan. When completing the inspection report, the inspector will mark any boxes designating whether a corrective action plan is required or if, in the inspector’s opinion, a violation should result in a civil penalty.
(4) The completed inspection report will be provided to the RTA by the inspector within 24 hours of the inspection.
