Contractors shall coordinate with the Environmental Management Element (5 CES/CEIEC) for the disposal of generated wastes at least 14 days before the project begins, and provide updates at least once per month throughout the entire project. Updates shall include the volume and type of waste generated and storage location.

1.13.18. The Contractor shall dispose of/recycle solid wastes (i.e., non-hazardous) through local disposal or recycling facilities. No liquid wastes of any kind may be put into installation garbage collection containers, or poured into drains, sinks, toilets, or on the ground.

1.13.20. The Contractor may obtain guidance from the 5 CES/CEIEC at (701) 723-4825, on proper storage and handling of hazardous waste. However, all responsibility rests with the Contractor to comply with all federal and state hazardous waste requirements and any information obtained from 5 CES/CEIEC does not remove responsibility from the Contractor for proper waste management.

1.14. WARRANTY. The Contractor shall provide one (1) year against defects in workmanship, materials, and component failure due to improper surface preparation or product installation. Any applicable product manufactures warranties shall remain in full effect. This statement applies to all products installed by the Contractor in addition to any specific product requirements outlined in this Statement of Work.
