If the measures taken by the Contractor are inadequate to effectively control water pollution, the City may direct the Contractor to revise the operations and water pollution control program. The City may restrict work from being performed until the water pollution control measures are adequate and, if required, a revised water pollution control program is in place. Continued noncompliance may result in the City suspending the Work in accordance with Section 5-21, above. The City reserves the right to take corrective action and withhold City costs for corrective action from progress payments or final payment in accordance with Section 8-8, above.
Any fines, including third-party claims, levied against the City as a result of Contractor's non- compliance are the Contractor's sole responsibility and will be withheld from progress payments or final payment in accordance with Section 8-8, of the General Provisions.
