What must a contractor do if contamination is detected during the decommissioning project?

When contamination is detected during a decommissioning project, it is essential for the contractor to certify both the decommissioning and the cleanup. This requirement ensures that the decommissioning process is carried out properly and that any contamination is addressed in accordance with environmental regulations and standards. By certifying both aspects, the contractor demonstrates compliance with legal obligations, safeguards public health, and protects the environment. This comprehensive approach is necessary to ensure that the site is safe for future use and that any potential risks associated with contamination are properly managed and mitigated. Therefore, handling both certification processes is integral to upholding environmental stewardship and regulatory adherence during and after the decommissioning project.
