Application Support Site – Step 1
Document Repository on
DEM Intranet holds
Inspections and
supporting documentation
for each facility.
Department builds
“target list” from
repository of
available facilities.
Building Target
List
(Continued)
Tablet
Inspectors create
local list by
selection from
central list
Inspectors
choose which
inspections to
view in detail.
Each facility record
includes current, as
well as past
inspection records,
supporting
documentation and
reference materials
as selected by the
department.
Multiple inspection
forms and types can
be supported with the
same system.
Inspection Forms are
pre-populated with data
from the supporting
department
information systems.
Tablet Drawing Capabilities
When complete the
inspector makes a
recommendation,
adds comments and
checks the
inspection into the
central repository.
Supervisors come
back to the intranet
and review
inspector’s
recommendations,
then make final
approvals.

difference in compliance proportions of the identified Environmental Business Practice Indicators (EBPIs).
Report 2: Bonferroni Report
This report applies the Bonferroni Correction to the Fisher Exact
Results
Report 3: Confidence Interval Report
This report gives upper and lower confidence intervals (at 95%) to the
percent change in compliance to each indicator
Report 4: Return to Compliance Report
