Volume 5: Response activity for the VIAP
Appendix A.1 – 3.0 Performance objectives

3.1 System performance metrics

This section should reiterate the system type and function as well as identify and establish the performance metrics that will be met, how each performance metric will be measured, and where the performance metrics will be measured. This section should also include a discussion on the appropriateness of the selected performance metrics to evaluate the efficacy of the AVMS given the site conditions, system type, and function.

Note: It is the responsibility of the person proposing the plan to ensure that VMS is protective of public health and RRD’s appropriate is based on the system meeting the performance metrics outlined in this section. It is understood that modification of the design may be necessary during the installation process to meet the performance metrics.

Key supporting information

  • Table, if more than one performance metric is required, that identifies the location and the specific performance metrics.
  • Figure that identifies the location that the performance metric will be measured.

3.2 AVMS operational downtime

This section should specify how and when an owner/operator becomes aware the system is down, the response time that is appropriate to bring the system back to full operation if it is greater than two (2) weeks, and how the response time was determined. This section should also include any alarms identified in Section 2.4 above and how they relate to notification and response timeframes.
