Phase 3 - Ongoing Performance & Compliance Support
Phase 3 is ABAR's ongoing advisory layer — available to facilities that have completed recovery through Phase 2 or to well-run facilities that simply want structured operational oversight without the cost of additional full-time staff. It is proactive, operator-led performance support designed to keep good plants running well and recovered plants from sliding back.
Who Phase 3 Is Designed For
Facilities recently recovered from compliance or performance issues
Facilities operating well that want a structured outside perspective and early warning system
Plants looking to optimize efficiency, reduce costs, or prepare for future capital projects
Utilities with limited staffing or high operator turnover
Plants preparing for regulatory inspections or consent order exit
Leadership teams that want early warning signals, not surprises
Boards and managers who need clear visibility into plant health
