Scope of Services
Define exact tasks (sampling, treatment, transport, disposal), service frequencies, deliverables, and accepted standards or permits required.
A clear contract reduces regulatory and operational risk, establishes measurable performance expectations, and documents payment and liability terms so both parties can meet environmental and public health obligations.
Each signer should have authority to bind their organization and should confirm regulatory obligations and insurance coverage before execution.
Define exact tasks (sampling, treatment, transport, disposal), service frequencies, deliverables, and accepted standards or permits required.

Assign responsibility for meeting NPDES or state permit conditions and detail required reporting cadence and format.
Grant access for personnel and equipment, require site safety plans, and specify responsibilities for confined-space entry and PPE.
Set indemnity language, insurance minimums (general liability, pollution liability), and limits for environmental damages.
Include pricing (flat, unit, or time-and-materials), invoicing terms, payment timelines, termination for convenience and breach, and cure periods.
