The Pennsylvania D O T summary of compliance response policy is presented in a table with seven rows and six columns. The columns are labeled Category, Time to Correct, Inspector-in-Charge Action, District Action, Expected Contractor Action, and Additional Notes. The first row addresses deficiencies resulting in significant discharge of pollutants, requiring immediate corrective actions, prompt contractor notification, district issuance of project stop work orders if not resolved, and contractor steps to resolve and prevent recurrence. Additional notes clarify the definition of significant discharge and give examples of situations that would not qualify. The second category deals with deficiencies that could result in significant discharge pollutants, also needing immediate action and similar notification and district follow-up, with the contractor expected to resolve issues within the given timeframe; notes here specify what is considered a potential for significant discharge. The third category covers failure to comply with the approved E S P C plan, requiring correction within twenty-four hours, formal notification, and potential holding of payment for unresolved items, with contractors required to restore compliance and district notes explaining possible time extensions based on issue complexity. The fourth and fifth categories address C C D concerns regarding compliance with the E S P C plan, requiring action within twenty-four hours, review and forwarding of concerns, payment holds, and contractor corrective actions, with district and project manager involvement as needed, and treatment as Category three unless the issue qualifies as a significant discharge. The sixth category is for failure to perform a visual site inspection, requiring correction within twenty-four hours, with contractor participation in self-inspection and possible joint inspection with the department. The table concludes with footnotes defining abbreviations for Assistant Construction Engineer: A C E, Inspector-in-Charge: I I C, and District Design Project Manager: P M.
