A TR must be on-site or on call to respond to questions or observations that could require sampling or determinations relevant to management of impacted soil or debris. It is the responsibility of the PM/CR to notify the TR of construction schedules and activities (including any changes in schedules or scope of work effort) that may require on-site support and observation. 5.

Resolution and ultimate fate of the affected media will be documented by the TR. 8. Work shutdown will be at the discretion of the PM/CR’s corporate health and safety policies and practices.
