4.1 Standard Operating Procedures Vantage Boat Launch has no complex, interlinked multi -function systems that would warrant the development of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). SOPs are developed for systems associated with the operation of complex, multiple interlinked functions that must all occur for an outcome that fulfills the expectation for that specific aspect of an operation. SOPS are also written instructions to achieve uniformity of the performance of functions associated with quality requirements of a system. 5.0 Maintenance Monitoring 5.1 Unplanned Maintenance All personnel Involved in the operation or maintenance of Vantage Boat Launch will have a means to provide feedback to Grant PUD Recreation Specialists on observed or reported maintenance needs outside their direct responsibility. This will assure a means of timely awareness of maintenance needs and appropriate responses being directed at the issue. 5.2 Inspections In addition to reporting and tracking of Unplanned Maintenance, Recreation Specialists will conduct site inspections at Vantage Boat Launch twice a year to evaluate the success of current task schedule frequencies and to identify any non -routine maintenance that needs to be addressed. 5.3 Maintenance Tracking Activity tracking will assist Grant PUD in preparing accurate staffing and budget plans, A Recreation Specialist will coordinate with Grant PUD Facilities department and contract staff as needed to verify work durations for speck projects. This information will be reviewed on an annual basis to adjust estimated work durations for specific tasks. A combination of the Maximo system (maintenance management system) and site maintenance spreadsheets will be utilized to schedule, track, and report work at Grant PUD recreation sites. As a goal, any variances in work durations will be coordinated to improve work planning efficiencies. 6.0 Vegetation Management 6,1 Trees An annual inspection of all trees by staff with training in tree disease and structural failure indicators, will occur in the fall. If indicators are found that warrant more than increased observation, a trained arborist should be called to determine if a corrective prescription is needed. Any corrective action can be implemented prior to the next use season. All staff performing routine maintenance at the site should be aware and observant of indicators of tree hazards. 6.2 Weed Control Noxious weeds will be managed for the site under the Districts Vegetation Management Program, consistent with the integrated pest management plan for Vantage Boat Launch, The Grant PUD Facilities staff or a contractor will control the weeds as needed, based upon site vegetation assessments. Weed Control Methods and Schedule Weeds will be controlled by herbicide spraying, hand -pulling, or by mechanical methods (weed -whacking or mowing). These methods and their frequency are described in the table below.
