The focus of this document will be to outline the roles and responsibilities of different departments as specific disciplines are required.

Procedure

End of Season Facility Shutdown, Ongoing Year around Data Collection

This category indicates that the data collection computer will actively, year around, collect data and submit interrogation files irregardless of the facilities status.

  1. Site personnel notify PTAGIS-Kennewick that the facility will be out of operation, (De-watered) on specified date.
  2. PTAGIS staff posts notification to the event log.

  4. Problem with Remote Data Site alerts will remain actively tracking PTTP transactions and e-mail notifications will commence.
  5. PTAGIS-Kennewick office responds to any platform issues at the facility level to ensure ongoing interrogation.
  6. The level of response to disruption in data collection is reduced to a low priority.



Non-Commercially Powered (Interrogation Site Shutdown)

This category will address the shutdown process for Interrogation platforms that operate without the use of commercial power. Example would be the JCJ installation that relies on a propane powered generator and will only operate during the out-migration period.

  1. Site personnel notify PTOC-Kennewick that the facility will be out of operation on specified date.
  2. PTAGIS Field Operations posts notification to the event log.
  3. PTAGIS Field Operations verifies that all interrogation files for the season have been submitted and the data set is complete.

  7. PTAGIS Field Operations does a controlled shutdown of the data collection platform.Reference above paragraph Non-Commercially Powered (Interrogation Site Shutdown)
  8. PTAGIS Field Operations updates the event log of the exact time and interrogation stopped and any other pertinent information regarding event.
  9. System Analyst permanently disengages the “Problem with Remote Data Site” monitoring mechanism.
  10. PTAGIS Field Operations removes interrogation platform and all peripheral devices.
