Government will identify the hazwaste in the construction area via the lead and asbestos reports and include the proper abatement in task order scope if

task order then an RFI should be submitted so that the task order may be modified to properly abate all disturbed hazwaste in the construction area.
The CATEX may include hazwaste. An EA will not be required for any task order requested.
