1.2 DEFINITIONS

1.2.1 Environmental Protection

Environmental Protection is the prevention/control of pollution and habitat disruption that may occur to the environment during construction. The control of environmental pollution and damage required consideration of land, water, and air; biological and cultural resources; and includes management of visual aesthetics; noise; solid, chemical, gaseous, and liquid waste.

1.2.2 Contractor Generated Hazardous Waste

Contractor generated hazardous waste means materials that, if abandoned or disposed of, may meet the definition of a hazardous waste. These waste streams would typically consist of material brought on site by the Contractor to execute work, but are not fully consumed during the course of construction.

1.2.3 Surface Discharge

The term implies that the water is discharged with possible sheeting action and subsequent soil erosion may occur. Waters that are surface discharged may terminate in drainage ditches, storm sewers, creeks, and/or “waters of the United States” and would require a permit to discharge water from the governing agency.

1.2.4 Waters of the United States

All waters which are under the jurisdiction of the Clean Water Act, as defined in section 502(7) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and 40 CFR 110 and 112.

1.2.5 Wetlands

Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, and bogs. Official wetlands determination shall be conducted in accordance with the WETLAND MANUAL.

1.2.6 Solid Waste

Garbage, refuse, sludge and other discarded materials, including solid, semi-solid, liquid, and contained gaseous materials resulting from industrial and commercial operations and from community activities. It does not include solids or dissolved material in domestic sewage or other significant pollutants in water resources, such as silt, dissolved or suspended solids in industrial wastewater effluent, dissolved materials in irrigation return flows or other common water pollutants as defined in 40 CFR Part 261.

1.2.7 Hazardous Material

Hazardous material is defined in 49 CFR 171 and listed in 49 CFR 172. A hazardous material is any material that:

b) Requires a Manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) required by 29 CFR 1910.120, or

c) During end use, treatment, handling, packaging, storage, transportation, or disposal meets or has components that meet or have potential to meet the definition of a hazardous waste as defined by 40 CFR 261 Subparts A, B, C or D.

1.2.8 Hazardous Waste

A hazardous waste, as defined in 40 CFR 261, is a solid waste which because of its quantity, concentration, or physical, chemical or infectious characteristics may cause, or significantly contribute to an increase in mortality or an increase in serious irreversible, or incapacitating, reversible illness. A solid waste is also considered a hazardous waste if it poses a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or the environment with improperly treated, stored, transported, or disposed of, or otherwise managed.

1.2.9 Pesticide

Pesticide is defined as any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest, or intended for use as a plant regulator, defoliant or desiccant.

1.2.10 Pests

The term “pests” means arthropods, birds, rodents, nematodes, fungi, bacteria, viruses, algae, snails, marine borers, snakes, weeds and other organisms (except for human or disease-causing organisms) that adversely affect readiness, military operations, or the well-being of personnel and animals; attack or damage real property, supplies, equipment, or vegetation; or are otherwise undesirable.

1.2.11 Regulated Substance
