Contractor shall not supply or deliver any hazardous materials or chemicals to Fort Johnson that are listed on the EPA toxic chemical list (see JRTC and Fort Johnson Regulation 200-1) without prior written approval from DPW-ENRMD.

1.6.21.14 Corrective Action for Noncompliance: Contractor shall when given a verbal and/or written notice of environmental noncompliance or nonconformance by the COR, take immediate corrective action.
