A minimum of 14 days prior to initiating any work on-site, submit to the Contracting Officer an Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) drafted in accordance with the instructions beginning at paragraph 1.9.7 of this specification.
If requested by the Environmental Office, be prepared to attend a meeting to clarify any issues in the submitted EPP that do not comply with the requirements or that are non-standard. Non-standard may refer to environmental protection methods, material testing or analysis methods, or material disposal methods that are not clearly defined and allowed in JEGS or the applicable UFGS or 18WG supplement covering the work. Bear in mind that contractors may not arbitrarily devise alternate methods of execution when standard methods have been defined in the documents above.
The contractor may not begin on-site work until after receiving an approval of the plan and a notice to proceed (NTP) by the Contracting Officer. The contractor shall be responsible for any delays needed to rectify deficiencies or errors in the EPP, so early submissions are recommended.
In cases where an official GOJ approval may be required for certain contracted activities, the Contractor shall be entirely responsible for any applications, fees, or other requirements for approval. DoD Components shall assist Contractors when they are applying for a required permit, license or other form of official approval by providing necessary information only.
Submit copies of all Licenses/Permits/Notifications obtained.
1.8.4 Environmental Manager

The Contracting Officer may issue an order stopping all or part of the work until satisfactory corrective action has been taken. No time extensions will be
SECTION 01 57 19.01 Page 17 of 65 granted or equitable adjustments allowed for any such suspensions. This is in addition to any other actions the Contracting Officer may take under the Contract, or in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation or Federal Law.
1.9 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PLAN (EPP)
The EPP’s purpose is for the contractor to document its plan to respond to known or potential environmental issues pertaining to the scope of work.
The EPP consists of 15 chapters, as described in the following sections of this specification, and requires entries for each chapter, as well training and other certifications applicable to the scope of work.
Submit the completed EPP to the contracting office a minimum of 14 days prior to beginning the scheduled on-site work. Commencement of on-site work may not begin until the Environmental Flight has completed a review and the contracting officer has approved the EPP.
Minor errors may result in a request from the Environmental Office for the contractor to revise, correct, and resubmit the EPP. The contractor is responsible for any delays resulting from late submissions or the necessity to resubmit the plan due to an incomplete or improper initial EPP submission. Environmental welcomes early submissions.
If the Environmental Office has serious concerns over the EPP, the Contracting Officer or Contracting Officer Representative may request a meeting to clarify the requirements and develop a mutual understanding concerning mandatory measures for protecting natural resources, the content of required reports, or other issues pertaining to environmental protection.
Revise the EPP throughout the project to include any reporting requirements, changes in site conditions, or Contract modifications that change the project scope of work in a way that could have an environmental impact.
No requirement in this section relieves the Contractor of the responsibility to comply with all applicable JEGS, Federal, GOJ national or prefectural laws and regulations, and installation requirements. Provide an electronic copy of the EPP to 718 CES/CEIE via the Contracting Officer.
Maintain the current version of the EPP onsite.
1.9.1 Submission Guidance
The EPP is a required submittal for all projects, and shall be submitted a minimum of 14 days prior to the scheduled start of construction activities or delivery of materials to the site. Work impacted by the contents of the EPP cannot start prior to approval of the EPP. Maintain a copy of the approved EPP on-site at all times.
If disapproved, the Contractor shall revise and resubmit the EPP to properly address reviewer comments. Delays resulting from disapproval are the responsibility of the Contractor.
1.9.2 EPP Drafting Instructions
Address the topic of each chapter at a level of detail commensurate with the environmental issue and the scope of work. The EPP shall explain how the Contractor will meet the requirements in each chapter. Chapters that
SECTION 01 57 19.01 Page 18 of 65 are not applicable to this project shall be replaced with a statement indicating as such, for example:
"This chapter does not apply to the Contract because" followed by a brief explanation on why it does not apply.
The EPP shall not be merely a reiteration of the requirements or the text of instructions in this section, except for the "Not Applicable" chapters. The EPP shall explain how the Contractor will meet the requirements in each chapter.
Any site-specific environmental issues identified as necessary by the Government shall be addressed in the EPP even if this supplement does not specifically mention such a situation as a requirement.
1.9.3 Emergency Review Request
The Contracting Officer may request the Environmental Representative to review an EPP in emergencies or rapidly deteriorating situations. Late submission does not justify a priority review. All other reviews shall be conducted on a first-come, first-served basis. The Contractor bears full responsibilities for any delays resulting from late approval of the
EPP.
