How to handle a regulatory investigation

  • Regulatory inspectors are allowed by law to enter and perform inspections and document results related to programs their agencies regulate.
  • The regulatory inspector should provide credentials and must wear appropriate PPE.
  • Let the TxDOT Engineer, DEQC, and Contractor know of the visit as soon as possible.
  • Review safety information in the office before visiting the site.
  • Stay with the inspector to answer any questions that may arise.
  • TxDOT's policy is to comply with all environmental laws and to cooperate with environmental inspectors responsible for enforcing laws.
