APPRAISAL

Administrative Legal

According to the discussion with the bureau staff, these records are used by the bureau to ensure that the individuals responsible for the cross connections correct the problem. Failure to do so will lead to administrative actions and, if these are unsuccessful, to the filing of a suit. Administrative actions should be exhausted within a year, at which point suit would be brought. However, due to the lack of experience in this area, an additional year's retention is recommended.
