1.4 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS

1.4.1 Environmental Protection

It is the responsibility of the Contractor to investigate and comply with all Federal, State, county, and municipal laws concerning pollution of air and water, and for the protection of public and employee health, and for damages to shell fish, fish, and wildlife.
