| The Closing Conference
Once the inspection has concluded and the inspector has made a compliance
determination, a closing conference will typically be held with the facility
representative to discuss the inspector's findings. The closing
conference provides the inspector the opportunity to:
- identify and fill in any gaps in the information collected;
- review applicable rule requirements;
- discuss any non-compliant or other problematic areas, and issue any
compliance notices, as appropriate;
- suggest available resources such as technical publications, and AQMD's
Small Business Assistance
program;
- ensure that the facility representative understands all of the
information provided and address any questions the company may have.
Since AQMD inspectors are often the only direct contact between the AQMD
and the regulated industry, the closing conference provides an ideal
opportunity to provide the company with the available assistance to operate in
compliance.
