The Contractor shall submit a written statement to the Government within fifteen (15) days after contract award on their intention to provide a Contractor-furnished borrow source. The statement shall include the proposed site name, a description of the location, and a vicinity map. The Contractor shall ensure that any Contractor-furnished borrow area submitted has all applicable environmental documentation acquired, current, and up-to-date, as described in paragraph "Submittal Package Requirements in Detail".

If the Contractors plan includes impacts to jurisdictional wetlands due to an unrelated construction activity, a USACE Section 404 permit and/or Section 10 permit will be required. A Section 10/404 Permit does not constitute full environmental compliance for potential use as a borrow area. The landowner must still submit all other required environmental documentation, as detailed in paragraph "Submittal Package Requirements in Detail", to be considered for approval for any borrow related activities including, but not limited to, excavation, transportation, staging, stockpiling, and processing. A JD is valid and considered current for five (5) years from the date of issuance.”

Before the Government will commence the environmental assessment of a proposed Contractor-furnished borrow site, the Contractor must submit all of the above items as a single, complete package. The reviewing CEMVN staff reserves the right to disapprove the use of potential Contractor-furnished borrow areas located in jurisdictional wetlands, and those sites that have significant outstanding cultural resource or hazardous waste concerns or other avoidable impacts. The Government shall be reimbursed by the Contractor for actual costs incurred for assistance in completing or attempting to complete additional environmental coordination and documentation.”
