of a CDP.  The evaluator shall prepare a written report of
the assessment that shall include a description of the steps
taken to insure compliance with the requirements of WAC 388-
805-310.  The written report shall also include the following information:

       defendant's legal history.  At a minimum, these sources must
       include a Defendant's Case History (DCH), a Washington
       Department of Licensing driver's record abstract, and police
       reports describing the current offense.  The police reports
       shall contain, at a minimum, a description of the offense
       and the defendant's blood or breath alcohol level and any
       other drug levels at the time of arrest.

  2.   A description of sources used to document the
       defendant's history of alcohol and other drug treatment or
       education.  At a minimum, these sources shall include any
       available drug/alcohol evaluations prepared by a CDP or CDPT
       concerning the defendant. The defendant shall notify the
       evaluator of any prior alcohol/drug evaluation and sign any
       releases necessary to make such alcohol/drug evaluations
       available to his or her current evaluating agency.

  3.   A description of the method used to notify the
       defendant of the assessment results.  The defendant shall be
       supplied with a copy of his alcohol/drug evaluation along
       with any treatment/education recommendations made by the CDP
       or CDPT.  If the assessment results are mailed to the
       defendant, the report shall state the address to which the
       assessment was mailed and the date of mailing.
