As part of NATE’s mission, this document was developed to provide NATE’s membership with an understanding of environmental regulations, issues, and conditions that may be encountered on job sites. With this knowledge, contractors may be able to better plan and schedule their projects, minimizing downtime and work disruptions. This document is divided into two basic categories, namely Hazardous Materials/Contamination and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Issues, which focuses on biological issues (species, wetlands, etc.) and historic preservation.
While potential job site hazards are discussed in the document, it is not intended to provide detailed guidance on job site health and safety but should be used in conjunction with the NATE Safety & Health Manual Online Resource Library and other resources.
