A. Upon receipt of the approved Corrective Action Plan (CAP) the LEA must begin to submit documentation of completed activities from the CAP agreed upon by the LEA and the LDE. B.

D. The LDOE will conduct, when necessary, an on-site visit in the year following the initial on-site visit, or sooner if deemed necessary by the LDOE, to validate the documentation of the implementation of the corrective action and to validate systemic change of areas of non-compliance. Validation of correction requires verification that the LEA has corrected each individual case of noncompliance and the LEA is correctly implementing the specific regulatory requirement based upon updated data with one hundred percent compliance. E. The LDOE will notify the LEA in writing when all corrective action has been accepted as completed. F. Noncompliance beyond one year will be considered long-standing noncompliance and additional enforcement actions may be taken in accordance with §107 of this Part.
