Who will be the point of contact for regulators during negotiations?
The (Army) Environmental Coordinator (or Program Manager) retains responsibility for coordination and final negotiations between the Army and the regulators. However, the PBC contractor will likely request to meet with regulators to discuss a proposed approach and to get early feedback on the acceptability of that approach. PBC contractors are proactive in obtaining regulatory input because it is in their best interest to make sure that all parties are on board with their planned course of remedial actions.
