The purpose of this checklist is to identify potential environmental compliance requirements early in the project life
cycle. It is intended for university project managers, project coordinators, and professional services contractors that
perform activities on the campus. It is understood that not all projects involve every individual listed. It is important to
complete this checklist early, as some environmental requirements require significant lead-time to resolve.
