ENVIRONMENTAL CONTRACTS AND SPECIFICATIONS - COMMON ISSUES ARISING DURING REMEDIATION ACTIVITIES

Environmental science is advancing into a more complex industry. Most projects that are performed require the contractor to follow a specifi cation or contract that describes the design and required activities t o be performed, and in many cases activities or procedures that are pr ohibited. This is, in part, a result of increased regulation of enviro nmental remediation. Issues related to environmental contacts and spec ifications that are discussed include document preparation, topical ca tegories and potential regulatory constraints. The information discuss ed in this paper should provide a better awareness of those involved i n the environmental industry.
