Inspection Extension Guidelines

1. The granting of an extension will be the exception, not the rule.
2. Extensions for major and minor deficiencies should be requested at least one week prior to the required correction date.
3. Only one extension will normally be granted.
4. All requests for extensions must state sufficient rationale, and any complicating factors, in order to evaluate the request. State the reason for the extension and a realistic date to be extended to. Supporting documentation to substantiate your request should be available upon request.
5. Each extension will be considered on it’s own merits and are at the discretion of the inspector.
6. Deficiencies are required to be corrected by the ”Required Correction Date” on the faxed “Site Inspection Report” and on the OGC web application logon, “Outstanding Inspection Deficiency Report”.
7. Extensions will not be granted where there is a significant hazard to health, safety, or the environment.
8. When extensions are granted, only an adequate time limit will be given to complete the work.
