Fiscal Detail and Notes | ||||||
The contractors providing services to the Department of Environmental Protection can be highly specialized. Debarring them for two years could limit the contractors available to respond quickly to petroleum and hazardous materials spills. This potential for delay could increase the total cost to cleanup these sites. |
