Formal Conflict Resolution. There are formalized programmatic conflict resolution procedures that need to be invoked if the informal route has failed to resolve all issues. 40 CFR 31.70 outlines the formal grant dispute procedures. There is also an NPDES conflict resolution procedure. The Superfund Program sponsors an Alternate Dispute Resolution Contract that provides neutral third parties to facilitate conflict resolution for projects accepted into the program. These are all time-consuming and should be reserved for the most contentious of issues. For less contentious matters, we will use the following procedures: 1. Xxxxxx dispute - any disagreement over an issue that prevents a matter from going forward. 2. Resolution process - a process whereby the parties move from disagreement to agreement over an issue. 3. Principle - all disputes should be resolved at the front line or staff level. 4. Time frame - generally, disputes should be resolved as quickly as possible but within two weeks of their arising at the staff level. If unresolved at the end of two weeks, the issue should be raised to the next level of each organization.
