The scrubber maintenance is scheduled when we're all tired and when residents aren't looking. → ¿influye en? → The rules say we must *wait* for the next inspection before we can even ask if the creek’s changing.

I’ve seen the maintenance logs marked with ‘off-hours’ and ‘no public access’ notes, and the operators’ schedules align with those times. The creek’s water quality tests are only run during daylight hours, so late shifts’ discharges aren’t checked until the next morning.

I've seen that maintenance happens overnight when I'm sleeping and residents aren't watching, but I don't know the specific inspection rules that would follow from permit structures.

<y, n or a>

I have observed scrubber maintenance being scheduled at night when staff are tired, yet the rule about waiting for inspection does not dictate that timing.

I have observed scrubber maintenance scheduled when staff are tired and residents aren’t watching

From my side of the desk I've read plenty of permit language and compliance schedules; the timing of scrubber maintenance has nothing to do with whether the inspection cadence forces a wait before creek questions can be raised. Those are two separate rule structures.

I've seen the scrubber maintenance happen, and I've seen the inspections happen, and I know that the inspections don't happen when the scrubber maintenance happens.

I've seen maintenance scheduled overnight and on weekends, when operators are tired and residents aren't watching, and I've also seen the rule that says we can't ask about the creek until the next inspection. The two feed each other, but the rule itself doesn't change because of the scheduling.

I've had to wait for an inspection before I could change something in my shop, and that delay means problems can go unnoticed.

I have seen the scheduling logs. The maintenance is deliberately timed to coincide with low visibility and operator fatigue, which directly creates the conditions where we ignore the creek's status until the next scheduled inspection window closes.
