Does the Contractor have to submit every pit to the Environmental/Cultural review process?
Yes! If it is a pit that has been submitted previously, you can expect a rapid reply, perhaps while still on the telephone. It is important for the Project Engineer to be able to document Environmental and Cultural Resource compliance for every pit that is being used on his or her project. Sometimes a pit’s status may change through time. The review process is designed to insure that the pit’s status is clear to everybody, and there will be no surprises or delays during construction.
