The Contractor shall notify the Engineer and identify any by- <br />products produced as a result of the installation operations, test and monitor the levels, and <br />comply with any and all local waste discharge requirements. The Contractor shall cleanup, <br />restore existing surface conditions and structures, and repair any of the CIPP system <br />determined to be defective.
