Gauging Our EHS Sustainability Performance
Amtrak EHS Annual Report 2010 | 34
nationwide total of 30 facilities in the Audit Program. Approximately one-third of
the triennial FACE evaluations should be completed during each fiscal year,
though many substations are monitored annually due to the volume of petroleum
product stored on-site.
FACE protocols are less complex than Audit Program protocols, and the purpose
is to assess general compliance at FACE facilities. A typical FACE review will
normally take a couple hours of on-site effort, although some sites may take a day
or more to complete. As with the Audit Program, FACE findings must be
addressed with Corrective Action Plans. ECs usually conduct the FACE
evaluations with support from the Division SECs. FACE findings are reported to
the facility’s RAO, who works with the EC, SEC and Environmental department to
implement the CAPs in a mutually accepted time frame. The RAO is required to
issue status reports on the CAP until all findings are closed. PVs discovered
during the FACE process must be corrected as soon as possible, but within 60
days. MP findings must be corrected as soon as possible, but within six months.
Corporate Sanitation Task Force Assessments
Led by Amtrak’s Public Health group, Corporate Sanitation Task Force (STF)
facility evaluations are performed in at least one major facility per quarter. In
FY10, there were six STF evaluations conducted at the following five locations:
 Seattle
 Los Angeles (along with a required re-inspection)
 Lorton, VA
 Sanford, FL
 Beech Grove, IN
A detailed report was issued for each evaluation, and written responses were
received indicating procedures that were implemented to improve ongoing self-
monitoring and to assure that corrective action was provided.
