NASSCO is committed to conducting all operations in a manner that safeguards the health and safety of employees, contractors, and the public while preventing pollution and protecting the environment. Because many shipyard activities have the potential to impact the environment, NASSCO has established specific requirements and procedures for contractors, team members, and third parties to help minimize these impacts.
STEP 1: READ NASSCO’S NOTICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS FOR NASSCO CONTRACTORS
All Contractors proposing to conduct work for NASSCO are required to read NASSCO’s Notice of Environmental Requirements for All Contractors. This document contains information about the environmental policies and procedures that contractors are required to follow when working for NASSCO.
Any contractor, team member, or third party that will be working inside NASSCO’s San Diego Shipyard, or at any other NASSCO San Diego Location (Tidelands, Otay, Mission Valley, etc.) is also required to read the Notice of Environmental Requirements for Contractors and Team Members Working at NASSCO San Diego Facilities.
STEP 2: SUBMIT THE ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENT REVIEW CHECKLIST AND CERTIFICATION
Each Contractor, Team Member, and Third Party requesting access must submit a completed and signed copy of the Environmental Requirement Review Checklist and Certification form. Each separate company or entity must submit one completed checklist prior to first beginning work.

STEP 3: REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO PERFORM ACTIVITIES WITH POTENTIAL TO IMPACT THE ENVIRONMENT
FOR NASSCO SAN DIEGO FACILITIES ONLY!
