Overview
What this RAVS document does
Discharging wastewater without knowing its contents can contaminate wetlands, lakeshores, and sensitive water zones. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor knows what is in its wastewater and disposes of it correctly.
This document states your company's wastewater handling and disposal program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: protecting sensitive water zones, knowing the wastewater contents before discharge, disposing of hazardous wastewater at an authorized facility, coordinating with the client for compliance, and worker training. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.
